There was a fisherman who was skilled in playing the flute .One day, he went to the seashore with his flute and nets . After spreading the nets on the ground, he stood on a large rock and began to play the flute. He hoped that his sweet music would attract the fish to dance into the nets. However, none of the fish appeared. So he put the flute away. At last, he cast the nets into the sea, caught a lot of fish and drew them to the land.
Seeing the fish leaping about in the nets, he said, “You wouldn't dance when I played the flute. Now I have stopped, and youbegintodance.”
