the whole day passed in this way , while he sat on the rocks holding the fishing rod and waiting in vain for his luck to turn . at last the day began to darken , and the evening came ; still he had caught not a single fish . drawing up his line for the last time before going home , he found that he had lost his hook without even knowing when he had dropped it .
what did the happy hunter discover when he drew up his line for the last time ?
found that he had lost his hook without even knowing when he had dropped it .
he had lost his hook .
