The Fisherman Pipes to the Fish
Text Version

Once upon a time, there was a fisherman who went to a pond. He brought his pipe and played music, hoping the fish would come to him. He played and played, but no fish came.

The fisherman felt sad. He stopped playing his pipe and picked up his fishing net. He threw the net into the pond and waited. After a while, he pulled the net back and was very happy to see many fish inside.

The fisherman understood that working hard and being patient helped him catch the fish. He decided to always use his net to catch fish and not just rely on his music.

From then on, the fisherman used his net to fish, and he always caught lots of fish because he worked hard and was patient.
