Farming Fishing

There’s a boy named Richard and he lives in a village called Togori on the island of Makira in the Solomon island. In his village fish is very important to them. If the weather bad or the sea is rough they often have to do without fish. In his village they don’t my much of their food from shops, they grow, collect, harvest and catch most of their food.

Richard has an uncle named Isaiah and he is the big man or chief of the village. His Idea was to build pons for the fish to grown in. Most of the work had to be done in the early morning or evening because it is very hot there in the middle of the day. Three years after the first fish were put in the ponds, they were ready to be caught and eaten.
