Fishing at The River

When I was in Junior High School, my father once took me to go fishing with him at
the river on Sunday morning. The river lies across our oil palm plantation. We had breakfast
first at home and then left early in the morning by motorcycle.
When we arrived at our oil palm plantation, my father parked the motorcycle under
a hut. He asked me to collect some dry wood and dry grass or leaves. When I already
collected enough wood and dry leaves, my father set a fire in the center of the fireplace. He
said that the smoke from the fire would scare some dangerous animal like bear and boar to
come closer to the hut, so it would make us safer.
After cleaning some wild grass around the hut, my father gave me a hoe and asked
me to dig some soil to find worms. When I already had enough worms, I brought it to him
and we went straight to the river. We put the worm on the fishing hook as a bait to catch
the fish. As a beginner fisher, I could not apply the worm on the fishing hook well, and it
looked like it was about to fall from the hook, but my father said that it was okay. I threw
the fishing hook into the river and waited for the fish to eat the bait, but nothing happened
for about an hour. When I was about to get bored I saw a big prawn was slowly walking in
the water. I placed the fishing hook slowly into the face of the prawn and moved it up and
down so the worm seemed alive. I never expected it to happen but suddenly the prawn
moved its hand and grabbed the worm on my fishing hook. I lifted the hook very slowly and
the prawn
was still there hanging tightly on the worm until I placed it on the ground. I did it
again and again. It also happened to my father many times. We were so surprised to see it.
Before we went home, we cooked it at the hut and enjoyed it together.

What could possibly happen if they did not make a fire?


A. They could net the worms.
B. The dangerous animals would attack them
C. The bear and boar could not come closer to them.
D. The fish and the pawn could not move to the fishing hooks.
