A weak fisherman caught a strong fish in his net and not being able to retain it the fish overcame him and pulled the net from his hand. <br /> <br /> A boy went to bring water from the torrent. <br /> The torrent came and took the boy away. <br /> The net brought every time a fish. <br /> This time the fish went and carried off the net. <br /> <br />The other fishermen were sorry and blamed him for not being able to retain such a fish which had fallen into his net. He replied: ‘O brothers, what can be done? My day was not lucky but the fish had yet one remaining. ‘Moral: A fisherman cannot catch a fish in the Tigris without a day of luck and a fish cannot die on dry ground without the decree of fate.<br /><br />Saadi Shirazi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/ch-03-on-the-excellence-of-contentment-story-24/
