Desire and action

A poor and hungry young man was sitting on a bridge, sad and depressed 

 And he was watching a group of fishermen, while he was staring at a basket full of fish next to them.

 He said to himself: I wish I had a bunch of these fish. 

 At that time, I used to sell them and buy clothes and food.

 One of the fishermen replied: 

 If you do me a favor, I will give you as much fish as you want.

 Hold this hook while I go to town and get to work.

 The young man happily accepted the offer.

 While the man was holding the hook, the fish kept biting the bait and one after the other they were trapped. 

 It didn't take long for the man to like this and started smiling.

 When the older man returned, he said: Take all the fish and go 

 But I want to give you some advice.  The next time you are in need, don't waste your time dreaming. 

 Set your hook and your life will change, because the desire to have a fish will never fill our net with fish.
