brought the shark to the surface of the

iron hook and after several Intellectual
attempt to jab the hook into the
sharks mouth the latter got away
On pulling up his line the fisherman
found that he had lost the whiting bait,

from the stomach of the shark. Then,
to the amusement of the crowd, one Of
whom remarked, "Well, exchange is no
robbery" he landed the beef safely on
