The old fisherman was gone so long that
the young man began to be inpatient.
Meanwhile, however, the hungry fish
snapped greedily at the baited hook, and
the young man lost his depression in the
excitement of pulling them in, and when
the owner of the line had returned, he
had caught large number. Counting
out from them as many as were in the
basket, and presenting them to the young
man. the old fisherman said, 81 fulfill my
