Question

A man was fishing on the bank of a river. A boy came to see him fishing. The

man was really good at fishing and he could catch a full basket of fish in a short time. The man saw that the boy was very cute, and he wanted to give him a whole basket of fish. But the boy shook his head. The man was surprised and asked, "Why don't you want the fish? '

The boy replied," I want the fishing rod(竿)in your hands. "

The man asked," Why do you want the rod?"

"I will eat up all the fish in the basket soon,but if I have the fishing rod,I can use it to catch a lot of fish by myself.”

Many people will certainly say the boy is very smart...wrong! If he doesn't know fishing skills. He can’t catch fish without a fishing rod.It’s useless to only have a fishing rod, fishing skills are more important than having a fishing rod.
