The Fisherman and the Banker
An American banker was walking on a beautiful beach
in a small Mexican village He saw a fisherman in his
boa[ with a few fish on it
"Great fish!" he said "How long did i[ take you to
catch them?"
"Nol very long," answered the fisherman
"Why didn't you stay at sea longer lo catch some
more?" asked the banker
"There are enough fish here [o feed my family,"
answered the fisherman
Then the banker asked, "But what do you do the
rest of the lime?"
"l sleep late, I fish a little, I play with my kids, I take
naps ln the evening, I go to see my friends in the
village We drink wine and play the guitar l'm busier
[han you think Life here isn't as "
The banker interrupted him "l have an MBA from
Harvard University and I can help you You're not
fishing as much as you can lf you start fishing for
longer periods of time, you'll get enough money from
selling the fish to buy a bigger boat Then with the
money you'll ge[ from catching and selling more fish,
you could buy a second boat and then a third one and
so on Then instead of selling your fish lo s[ores, you
could sell them directly to a fish factory, or even open
your own faclory Then you'll be able [o leave your little
village for Mexico City, where you could direct the
company."
"How long will that take?" asked the fisherman
"About 15 lo 20 years," answered the banker.
"And then?"
"Then it ge[s more interesting," said the banker,
smiling and talking more quickly "When the moment
comes, you can put your company on the stock market
and you will make millions."
"Millions? But then what?"
"Then you can retire, live in a small village by the sea,
go to the beach, sleep late, play wi[h your kids, "
