The Fisherman and His Flute

There was once a fisherman who was also an excellent flute player. One day he took his flute and a fish basket, jumped up on a rock and began to play his flute, convinced, the fish would be enchanted by his music and leap into the basket willingly. Unfortunately, he did not catch a single fish, so went home, collected his net and threw it into the water. He caught so many fish that his basket overflowed.

`Stupid creatures!` he exclaimed, as he watched the fish twist and jump in his net. `You would not dance, when I played my flute, but when I`m not playing, you can not stop dancing!`
