Contented Fisherman

A wealthy tourist , complete with dark glasses and cameras, went strolling along tropical beach and found a fisherman dozing along his side canoe. "Why aren't you out catching fish?" began the tourist. "Ive caught enough for today," answered the villager. "But why don't you go out and catch more and make some money and then buy a net so you can catch even more?" "What for" "Then you could buy a motor for your canoe and go out further where there are still more fish to catch." "But why catch more fish?" "So that you can earn more money and buy a whole fleet of fishing boats." "Then what?" "Then you would become rich and could spend your life taking it easy." "That's what I'm already doing."
