```Reference Text: Read the passage below carefully and answer the question that follows.

One day, Alan, a friend of mine, who likes country life, was fishing in a river, when he caught a trout. He tried to pull the fish in but it slipped off the hoo, flew over his head and landed in a field behind him.

Alan put down his rod, went through the gate and started searching for his trout. Some people, obviously fro the city, were having a picnic in the field. One of them shouted "What on earth are you doing?" Thinking it was a stupid question because they could see how he was dressed, Alan replied 'Fishing'.

'Don't be silly, the fish are down in the river', answered the man. 'Fish don't live in fields!' He turned to his friends, laughing, thinking that he had made a good joke.

"Oh, but they do", said Alan. 'They jump out of the river to look for flies and I catch tem with my hands. 'At that moment he found his trout in the grass and picked it up and showed it ot the picnickers. He put it in his basket and bent down, as if he was hunting for another one. The picnickers, no longer laughing, spent the rest of the day searching the field.```
