Once a fisherman
was sitting near seashore, under the shadow of a tree smoking his beedi.
Suddenly a rich businessman passing by approached him and enquired as to why he
was sitting under a tree smoking and not working. To this the poor fisherman
replied that he had caught enough fishes for the day.
Hearing this the
rich man got angry and said: Why don’t you catch more fishes instead of sitting
in shadow wasting your time?
Fisherman asked:
What would I do by catching more fishes?
Businessman: You
could catch more fishes, sell them and earn more money, and buy a bigger boat.
Fisherman: What
would I do then?
Businessman: You
could go fishing in deep waters and catch even more fishes and earn even more
money.
Fisherman: What
would I do then?
Businessman: You
could buy many boats and employ many people to work for you and earn even more
money.
Fisherman: What
would I do then?
Businessman: You
could become a rich businessman like me.
Fisherman: What
would I do then?
Businessman: You
could then enjoy your life peacefully.
Fisherman: What do
you think I’m doing right now?
