A Fishing Tale On the shore of the Indian Ocean a raggedy Indian fisherman lay dozing with a hat over his face. Beside him two fishing lines were stuck into the sand. Up comes an American. 'What are you sleeping for?' says the American. 'You'd be better off catching fish.' 'What for?' asks the fisherman. 'What do you mean, what for? You'd catch some fish, you'd sell them and with the money you'd buy yourself a trawler. The trawler would catch even more fish. You'd sell it and buy yourself an even bigger boat. You'd catch still more fish. You'd sell it. Then you'd build yourself a fish processing factory . . . and get rich. And then you could lie on the beach and sleep.' The fisherman pulled his hat even further down over his face. 'But that's what I'm doing now.'
