Arnold Pointer, a professional fisherman from the south of Australia, set free (释放) a big female white shark that was 1 in his large fishing nets. He thought she would have more and more babies. But now the fisherman is facing a(n) 2 problem. The white shark is so 3 to him that for nearly 2 years she hasn’t left him 4 . She even follows him everywhere. 5 this, Arnold Pointer can’t do fishing — all the fishes are scared at her, and he doesn’t know 6 to do anymore.

Cindy is 10 an interesting animal that Arnold has to try to go fishing in different places. Doesn’t Cindy know what her action means? Maybe she really doesn’t understand.
