Jacob is grumpy because his mother keeps buying veges so he decides to go fishing in the river. He falls and slips into the river and he can’t get onto the rocks or stand. He tries to grab a rock but gets knocked out. He wakes up in Ah Sum’s hut and doesn’t know where he is because he’s never been to the Chinese village before.

the story is very cool to read because Ah sum made friends.
my favourite part was when Ah sum saved Jacob from drowning.
