HELP!! Several year's ago, I read a rather dark short story by Guy de Maupassant and cannot remember the title. It was about a father/uncle who took his son and nephew fishing. They took a small boat out to a small rocky place. The boat drifted away, the tide came in and the man had to choose who to save. nephew or son. Any ideas?
i think the story you are looking for is the two friends
Sometimes after his French stories and novels have been translated to English they can have a different title for the same story. I can think of a couple of his with (at least) fishing as a theme
