Chapter 15
A man who cared more for music than his nets saw some fish in the sea and began playing on his flute. He thought they would jump out on shore and hop into his net, but he was disappointed when he found that the fish would not comply. So he decided to cast his net and snared a great number of them. After he pulled them to shore, the fish began to dance and flap, but he said, “Since you wouldn’t dance when I piped, I’ll have none of your dancing now.”
It takes great skill to do the right thing at the right time.
