The Fisherman and the Businessman
By Anonymous

A very rich industrialist was horrified one day to find a fisherman lying lazily beside his boat, smoking a pipe.

"Why aren't you out fishing?" asked 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," said the businessman. "With that, you could have a motor attached to your boat and then go into deeper water and catch more fish. Then you would make enough money to buy bigger and better nets. These would bring you more fish and more money. Soon you would be able to buy one or two more boats, even a fleet of them. Then you would be rich like me!"

"What would I do then?" "Why, then you could really enjoy life."

"What do you think I am doing right now?"
