The Fisherman Piping.A Fisherman skilled in music took his flute and his nets to thesea-shore. Standing on a projecting rock he played several tunes, in thehope that the fish, attracted by his melody, would of their own accorddance into his net, which he had placed below. At last, having longwaited in vain, he laid aside his flute, and casting his net into thesea, made an excellent haul. From Aesop's Fables |
