The industrialist was horrified to find a fisherman lying beside his boat, smoking a pipe.
"Why aren't you fishing?" he asked.
"Because I've 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 buy a motor for your boat & go into deeper waters & catch more fish. Then, you could buy nylon nets & catch even more fish & make even more money. Soon, you could buy more boats - maybe even a whole 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?"
