One day as the Rev. Mark Guy
Pearse of London was strolling along a
river bank he saw an old man fishing
for trout and pulling the fish out one
after the other briskly. "You manage
it cleverly, old FRIEND" he said. Il
have passed a good many below whc
don't seem to be doing anything"
The old man lifted himself up and
stuck his rod in the ground. "Well, you
see, sir, there be three rules for fish
ing and it's no good trying it if you
don't mind them. The first is, Keep
yourself out of sight; the second is,
Keep yourself further out of sight, and
the third is, Keep yourself further out
of sight still. Then you'll do it,"
