In the breezy, blueberry-muffin-stacked state of Michigan, many kids lovingly known as ‘Fish-n-Chips,’ participate in a super cool activity - Fishing! Can you guess why they are nicknamed ‘Fish-n-Chips’? Well, it’s because they love fishing and, of course, crunching on chips, while waiting for the fish to bite! Michigan, shaped like a mitten-hand, is a wonderland for these little Fish-n-Chips. With more than 11,000 lakes, streams, and rivers, it’s like their very own water playground. This state is so water-filled, someone told me you can't swing a catfish without hitting a body of water! These little Fish-n-Chips have a secret leader, Captain Bubblebeard. He is a jolly, stout man, with sparkling eyes, rosy cheeks, and a fluffy white beard filled with bubbles, which pop out every time he laughs. Kids love his hearty laugh which sounds like ‘HO-HO-SPLASH!’ Captain Bubblebeard, with his magical fishing rod, teaches them all the tricks of fishing, whether it's how to bait a worm or cast a line without hooking your own nose! Besides, Captain Bubblebeard has a magical fish-finding radar in his bubble-filled hat, which helps them find the best fishing spots. Sometimes, the fish jump right onto the hook when they see Captain Bubblebeard, because they love his fun-filled fishing lessons too! So, if you visit Michigan, don't be surprised if you see a bunch of cheerful kids fishing, with a bubble-bearded man, giggling and munching chips. They are just the 'Fish-n-Chips' gang, having the best ‘reel’ time of their lives!
