THE MAD FISHERMAN #Inspirational Moral Stories
Once, on
market day, the market was crowded with carts and all types of
animals.
Peddlers, merchants, breeders, farmers, noblemen, and clowns came.
Even the
king was expected. In between all this excitement, a foal was born
in a
stable. Terrified of the noise, as soon as it found its legs, it ran to hide
between
two oxen. When the foal’s owner claimed the foal, the oxen’s owner
said
that the foal was his for it had chosen to be with his oxen! The king also
agreed
with the oxen owner. The next day, the king was travelling in his
carriage,
when he saw the real owner of the foal casting a fishing net in the
middle
of the road. People were very amused, but the king asked him: ‘What
are you
up to?’ The man said: ‘Your majesty, I’m fishing. When two oxen
can
become parents to a foal, can’t I fish in the middle of the road?’
