This division of the corral encloses
a circular space so arranged that a man can stand on a platform in
the upper part and draw the fish out with a small net.
"I shouldn't get tired fishing there with a pole and line," commented
Sinang, trembling with pleasant anticipation.
All were now watching and some even began to believe that they saw
the fishes wriggling about in the net and showing their glittering
scales. But when the youth lowered his net not a fish leaped up.
"It must be full," whispered Albino, "for it has been over five days
now since it was visited."
The fisherman drew in his net, but not even a single little fish
adorned it. The water as it fell back in glittering drops reflecting
the sunlight seemed to mock his efforts with a silvery smile. An
exclamation of surprise, displeasure, and disappointment escaped from
the lips of all. Again the youth repeated the operation, but with no
better result.
"You don't understand your business," said Albino, climbing up into
the pen of the corral and taking the net from the youth's hands.
