A capitalist was horrified to find a fisherman lying beside his boat, smoking a pipe.
"Why aren't you fishing?" asked the capitalist.
"Because I have caught enough fish for the day," the man replied.
"So, why don't you catch some more?" the capitalist asked.
"What would I do with them?"
"Why ... you could earn more money. Then you could have a motor fixed to your boat and go into deeper waters and catch more fish. That would bring you money to buy nylon nets, so more fish, more money. Soon you would have enough to buy two boats, or even a fleet of boats. Then you could be rich like me!"
"What would I do then?" the man asked.
"Then you could simply sit back and enjoy life!"
And the fisherman replied, "What do you think I'm doing right now?"
