一天，一个渔夫躺在沙滩上，旁边架着鱼竿，鱼线甩在蓝色的大海里，随着闪闪发光的海浪不停地涌动。他惬意地享受午后阳光，等着鱼儿咬钩。 这时一位商人沿着沙滩走了过来，他到海边来舒缓一下他紧张的工作压力。商人看到了躺在沙滩上的渔夫，很想知道为什么渔夫不努力养家糊口，而是在这里钓鱼。 “你这样可掉不到几条鱼。”商人对渔夫说。“你应该认真点，而不是躺在沙滩上休息。” 渔民抬头看了看商人，笑着回答：“那样做我能得到什么回报啊？” “那样你会有钱买个大的渔网，捕到更多的鱼。”商人回答他。

渔夫再次问道：“这么做我会得到什么呢？”商人气得面红耳赤，冲渔夫喊道：“你怎么就不明白？你可以变得非常富有，再也不用赚钱工作了！你的后半生都可以坐在沙滩上看日落，不用在乎周围的世界！”渔夫依旧微笑着，抬头看着商人说道：“那你说我现在在干什么？不就是坐在沙滩上看日落吗？”Onceagainthefisherma4
