Piscator in fluvio piscatur.
Extendit retia,
fluvium comprehendens utrinque.
Tunc lapidem funi alligat
et aquam verberat.
Pisces, incaute fugientes,
in retia eius incidunt.
Quidam vero
ex iis qui circa fluvium habitant
hoc videt
et piscatorem increpat,
"Fluvium clarum turbas,
et aquam bibere non sinis.
Nos autem, sine hac aqua,
vivere non possumus!"
Piscator respondet,
"Me autem oportet
fluvium perturbare:
esuriens sum,
et sine his piscibus
ego vivere non possum!"
This story is based on 850. Piscator Aquam Verberans.
