Raja : I have heard of you. All fishermen respect you and say that you are the
wisest among them. I respect all good and wise men among my people.
So, please sit down and tell me everything about this fish.
Fisherman : It is a fish that lives in deep sea far below the surface of the water. It
sometimes comes up and jumps several feet above the water. It came
up this morning and fell into my net. Now it is here before you. Send it
to your cooks immediately and you will enjoy your dinner today.
Raja : Stay for dinner and enjoy it with us, my man. I invite you to dine in the
palace today. Now what shall I give you in return for this gift?
Fisherman : Nothing, Your Highness. Your Highness and everybody in the palace
must enjoy my gift. That is all I want.
Raja : No, that is not enough. You must take something in return.
Fisherman : Then, will Your Highness give me anything I ask for?
