Now Daniel felt even more confused. “Grandma, you know the scar on Grandpa’s cheek?” he asked.

“You mean the one he got in the war, honey?” she replied. “What about it?”

“The war?” Daniel mumbled. “Oh. Never mind.”

“You know, I never understood why he didn’t keep the fish in that picture,” Daniel’s grandma continued. “That was the biggest fish he ever caught. By the looks of it, I’d say it was one of the biggest in the state. It would have looked good on the wall. Your grandpa threw it back.”

Daniel’s dad smiled. “Probably would have tasted good, too,” he said.

“I know why,” Daniel muttered.

The grownups all stared at him.

Daniel took a breath. Then he explained, “Grandpa loved to fish. He probably had a great time catching that fish. And he probably wanted to do it again. That’s why he let it go.”

Daniel’s grandma said, “Knowing your grandpa, he probably put that fish back so that someone else could have the same fun he had that day.”

She smiled. Then she added, “Maybe someone like you.”
