  One morning a man was crossing a narrow bridge when he saw a
  fisherman onthe shady bank of the deep, smooth river under him, so
  he stopped to watchhim quietly.

  After a few minutes, the fisherman pulled his line in. There was
  a big, fatFish at the end of it.

  The fisherman took it off the hook and threw it back into the
  water. Then heput his hook and line in again. After a few more
  minutes he caught another bigfish. Again he threw it back into the
  river. Then, the third time, he caught a smallfish. He put it into
  his basket and started to get ready to go. The man on thebridge was
  very surprised, so he spoke to the fisherman. He said, Why did
  youthrow those beautiful, big fish back into the water, and keep
  only that smallone?

  The fisherman looked up and answered, Small frying-pan.
