Odd Fishing



An old man lived by the river Kaveri.

He used to catch fish for a living. But he did not eat fish himself.

Everyday he caught fish and sold them in the evening at the market.

He was not a greedy man.

One day his grandson saw him throwing back a fish into the river.
“Grandpa, why did you do that?” he asked.
“Little one, I need to earn, so I catch fish. But I don’t need too much money.
So I put back somefish into the river.”

“And how do you decide which fish to put into the basket and which fish to throw back into the river?”
