HOW MUCH IS ENOUGH
?!?
The rich industrialist from
the North was horrified to find the southern fisherman lying lazily beside his
boat, smoking a pipe. "Why aren't you out fishing?" said 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"
was the industrialist's reply. "With that you could have a motor fixed to your
boat and go into deeper waters and catch more fish. Then you would make enough
to buy nylon nets. These would bring you more fish and more money. Soon you
would have enough money to own two boats ... maybe even a fleet of boats. Then
you would be a rich man like me." "What would I do then?" asked the fisherman.
"Then you could really enjoy life." "What do you think I am doing right
now?"
