The Man and the Fish-horn

分类: 英语故事 
  A TRUTHFUL Man, finding a musical instrument in the road, asked the
name of it, and was told that it was a fish-horn.  The next time he
went fishing he set his nets and blew the fish-horn all day to
charm the fish into them; but at nightfall there were not only no
fish in his nets, but none along that part of the coast.  Meeting a
friend while on his way home he was asked what luck he had had.

  "Well," said the Truthful Man, "the weather is not right for
fishing, but it's a red-letter day for music."
