“The industrialist was horrified to find the fisherman lying beside his boat, smoking a pipe. - Why aren’t you fishing?, said the industrialist. - Because I have caught enough fish for the day. - Why don’t you catch some more? - What would I do with them? - Earn more money. Then you could have a motor fixed to your boat and go into deeper waters and catch more fish. That would bring you money to buy nylon nets, so more fish, more money. Soon you would have enough to buy two boats even a fleet of boats. Then you could be rich like me. - What would I do then? - Then you could sit back and enjoy life. - What do you think I’m doing now?”
