Fishing

There is a river that passes Kompong Chhnang, where I live in Cambodia. It is called the Tonle Sap. On the river there are many houseboats. Thousands of people live on the houseboats all of the time.

The baskets in the front of the picture are traps for catching fish. The people who own the traps put them in the river. The fish swim in the hole in one end of the trap and they can't find the way out. The people pull the traps out of the water and they catch the fish. They can sell them, or cook them and eat them.

Do you think it would be fun to live on a houseboat and catch fish every day?
