Piranhas: Real or fake? by jessica stegall

    Joe Robinson was fishing with his troop when they ran into some piranhas. Because of all the movies that portray paranhas as a scary flesh eating monster, the men were terrified. As they began to Panic, his expedition leader, Mike, told everyone to calm down and not go to one side of the boat so that it wouldn't tip over. Everyone slowly put some raw meat on their lines and cast them in the water, After a moment of waiting, one man caught something. But when he reeled in the line, the ugly fish was not even close to terrifying. Soon after, joe Robinson caught one. The troop proved that paranhas are not the killers they are made out to be. Although they are not harmless, they aren't all that dangerous. I found the article to be interesting with alot of build up and suspense!
