The rich industrialist from the North was horrified to find the
southern fisherman lying lazily beside his boat, smoking a pipe.
"Why
aren't you out fishing?" said the industrialist.
"Because
I have caught enough fish for the day," said the fisherman.
"Why
don't you catch some more?"
"What
would I do with them?"
"You
could earn more money," was the industrialist's reply. "With
that you could have a motor fixed to your boat and go into deeper
waters and catch more fish. Then you would make enough to buy nylon
nets. These would bring you more fish and more money. Soon you would
have enough money to own two boats . . . maybe even a fleet of boats.
Then you would be a rich man like me."
"What
would I do then?" asked the fisherman.
"Then
you could really enjoy life."
"What
do you think I am doing right now?" |
