Seth had a big net. The net was for a moth, a big moth. Seth and his dad got on the path. Then Seth got a look at a thin moth. It sat on a thick stick. Seth got his net up to the stick. "I can get this moth!" he said. He set his net on it. Whiff! The moth shot up. It was so fast. "That moth is quick!" said Dad. Seth had a big grin. The hunt was a fun thing.
