Answer 1

The Fish I Didn't Catch is about a boy and his uncle. The uncle who spent most of his life fishing takes the boy fishing one day, and after patiently waiting several times the boy caught a fish and said to his uncle "Uncle! I've got a fish!" but his uncle told him "Not yet" by this the uncle meant that he hadn't done the full job yet so he hadn't caught the fish yet, he did when he pulled it out of the water. "But remember boy, never brag of catching a fish until it is on dry ground. I've seen older folks of themselves. It's no use to boast of anything until it's done, nor then, either, for it speaks for itself." This phrase makes the moral of this story "Never brag of your fish before you catch him".

Answer 2

The meaning of the word trifles helps us to understand the little value grow up people give to the feelings of children. Its meaning get clearer when seeing the comparison to the importance is given to the feelings of grow up people. Although, In the Fish I didn’t Catch, written by John Greenleaf Whittier in 1843, the tone seems different. The narrator regrets that fact of not giving much importance to the feelings of children, because when adults pay attention to them children grow more aware of the world and how things really happen. That is the precise meaning of the Fish I didn’t Catch, that lesson taught him since he was a kid, not to boast before something is done. He thanked his uncle for paying attention to his feelings because that helped him grow.
