| The Joke |
One day a fisherman was lying on a beautiful
beach, with his
fishing pole propped up in the sand and his solitary
line cast out into the
sparkling blue surf. He was enjoying the
warmth of the afternoon sun
and the prospect of catching a fish.
About that time, a businessman came walking down the beach, trying
to
relieve some of the stress of his workday. He noticed the
fisherman
sitting on the beach and decided to find out why this fisherman
was fishing
instead of working harder to make a living for himself
and his family.
"You aren't going to catch many fish that
way," said the businessman
to the fisherman, "you should be working
rather than lying on the
beach!"
The fisherman looked up at
the businessman, smiled and replied, "And
what will my reward be?"
"Well, you can get bigger nets and catch more fish!" was the
businessman's answer.
"And then what will my reward be?"
asked the fisherman, still
smiling.
The businessman
replied, "You will make money and you'll be able to
buy a boat, which
will then result in larger catches of fish!" "And
then what will my
reward be?" asked the fisherman again.
The businessman was
beginning to get a little irritated with the
fisherman's questions.
"You can buy a bigger boat, and hire some people to
work for you!" he
said.
"And then what will my reward be?" repeated the
fisherman.
The businessman was getting angry. "Don't you understand?
You can
build up a fleet of fishing boats, sail all over the world,
and let all
your employees catch fish for you!"
Once again
the fisherman asked, "And then what will my reward be?"
The
businessman was red with rage and shouted at the fisherman,
"Don't you
understand that you can become so rich that you will never have
to
work for your living again! You can spend all the rest of your day
s
sitting on this beach, looking at the sunset. You won't have a
care in
the world!"
The fisherman, still smiling, looked up
and said, "And what do you
think I'm doing right now?" |
