Suddenly somebody turns the hose on him and he gets the stream full in the face. Fade out quickly and fade in on the original scene of barefoot angling, showing Junior on his back, swinging his arms and legs. He rolls off the bank and into the shallow stream, awakening quickly. The other boys on the bank are ■engaged in side splitting laughter. Frightened and embarrassed, Junior stands up in the shallow stream, then his facial expression melts into a sheepish grin. For the final scene, show the boys, fish poles dragging and arms about shoulders, walking down a narrow woods path, bound for home. Such a film will require planning and forethought.
