Seth had a new green net. He wanted to catch one thing: a big moth. He went on the path with his dad. Then, Seth saw a thin moth with black spots. It landed on a thick stick. Seth went up to the stick with his net. "I think I can get this one!" he whispered. He went for it. Whiff! The moth was too quick for him. "That moth is fast!" said Dad. Seth just grinned. The hunt was the best thing.
