Bucket full of fish

Yu Mai was crouching as he tried to pick up the bucket that he had submerged in the water but as he pulled it up, he realized that it was too heavy! He blinked his eyes and then looked down at the water but this time around he could not see anything because of the crashing waves. 

'Maybe I need to put more strength?' Yu Mai thought as he rolled his sleeves and once again pulled the bucket but he couldn't pull it out of the water. Seeing this he turned to look at Ye Liu and said, "I cannot pull the bucket out of the water, Brother-in-law Liu. It's too heavy!" 

"Pretend! Keep pretending," Guo Chengcai sneered. He did not believe that there was any fish in the bucket. After all, he and his wife had been sitting next to the shore for so long and were yet to catch a single fish and that was when they had been using all the right techniques. So how could a kid who did not know how to fish catch any?
