When pulling the nets out of the sea, the fishermen felt that the nets were very heavy. They thought they must have taken a large catch, so they danced for joy. However, when they dragged the nets to the shore, they found the nets were full of sand and stones. It was not even close to what they expected. They were deeply disappointed.
At that time, one of the fishermen, an old man, said to the others, “Friends, don't feel bad. It seems to me that sorrow is always the twin sister of joy. We were happy before, so we now should have something to make us sad.”
