The Fisherman with his Flute

Once there was a fisherman who was a very good flutist as well. When he played on his flute, animals gathered around him to hear the sweet notes of his flute. One day, the fisherman thought to try his flute on the fish too. He was sure that the notes of his flute would attract the fish and they would come to him jumping out of the water. So, he went fishing taking his flute with him. He sat on a rock lying on the bank and began to play sweet tunes. He kept playing the flute for a long time but not even a single fish came out. The fisherman felt disappointed. He threw his flute on one side and cast his net into the water. Soon he was able to catch a great number of fish. He put them on the shore and they began to leap about for want of water. The angered fisherman said, “You rascals! You didn’t come out when I played the flute so sweetly. Now you will dance when I play on my pipe. After all, you have no other choice.”

Moral : For completing any tough work we should also be tough.
