''What would I do with them?''
''You could earn more money,'' came the impatient reply, ''and buy a better boat so you could go deeper and catch more fish. You could purchase nylon nets, catch even more fish, and make more money. Soon you'd have a fleet of boats and be rich like me.''
The fisherman asked, ''Then what would I do?''
''You could sit down and enjoy life,'' said the industrialist.
''What do you think I'm doing now?'' the fisherman replied as he looked placidly out to sea.

The agent asked him several questions about it and then replied, ''But sir, that's your house you're describing.''
