Read:
He was once a very old man who, because he didn't have much to do, went fishing in a lake.
Once upon a time there was a very young boy who also didn't have much to do and was fishing in the same lake.
One day, the two met, side by side in fishing, and at the same moment, at exactly the same moment, they felt that little tug that indicates that the fish has taken the bait. The boy pulled with strength and precision. The old man used more precision and less force. When the respective fish appeared, however, disappointment: the boy's fish was too old and the old man's fish was too young!
The old man said to the boy:
– You can't fish that old fish! Let him live what little life he has left.
The boy replied:
And what are you going to do with this fish so young It's so small let it live a little longer
The old man and the boy looked at each other and, wasting no time, threw the fish into the lake.
They became friends and now, when they don't have much to do, they go to the lake, say hello to the fish and kill time by chatting.
