Fisherman

Guess what happened when there was fisherman who threw a big fish back into the water and keep
only that small one? It is unusual incident, isn’t?

One morning, a man was crossing a narrow bridge. When he saw a fisherman under him on the shady
bank of the deep smooth river, he stopped to watch him quietly.

He saw that the fisherman took off the hook and caught a big fish. But he threw it back to water. Then
he put his hook and line in again. After a minute he caught rather big fish. Again, he threw it back into
the river. Then the third time, he caught a small fish. He put it into his basket and started to get ready to
go. The man on the bridge was very surprised, so he spoke to the fisherman. He asked why did he threw
those beautiful big fishes back into the water and just kept only the small one.

The fisherman looked up and answered, “I only have a small frying pan.”

Poor fisherman!

Snake in the Bath

How would you like to in a snake in your bath? A nasty one too! We had just moved into a new house,
which had been empty for so long that everything was in a terrible mess. Anna and I decided we should
clean the bath first, so we set to, and turned on the tap.

Suddenly to my horror, a snake's head appeared in the plug hole. Then out slithered the rest of his long
thinbody. He twist and turned on the slippery bottom of thebath, spitting and hissing at us.

For an instant stood there quite paralyzed. Then I yelled for my husband, who luckily came running and
killed the snake with handle of a broom Anna, who was only three at the time, was quite interested in
the whole business. Indeed I had to pull her out of the way or she'd probably have leant over the bath to
get a better look!

We found out later that it was a black mamba, poisonous kind of snake. It had obviously been asleep,
curled up as the bottom of the nice warm water- pipe. It must have had an awful shock when the cold
water came tricking down! But nothing to the shock/ got!

Ever since then I've always put the plug in firmly before running the bath water.
