Damin does not require nets or a fishing rod to catch fish．That    1    for him by his twelve cormorants．Cormorants are large，black birds，about a meter long．Their large feet are used to push them  2   through the water．They can dive down25 metres and stay   3   water for up to two minutes．

    A fishing trip often begins in the late afternoon．Damin    4    on his bamboo raft with his birds．When he reaches the right place，he stops．A piece of grass is tied around the neck of each bird   5   it cannot swallow the fish．Then Damin pushes the birds into the water and jumps up and down and bangs the water with his pole．The fish are frightened by this．The cormorants swim down and catch the fish．a(chǎn)nd bring   6    back to the raft．The fish are then removed from the birds’ mouths by the fisherman and thrown into a big basket．Later，some of the fish are sold，and the rest   7   between Damin's family and the cormorants．
