Fishing in the Rain
It was a cold dark evening in February in the city. It was raining heavily and the roads were covered in water. George was leaving his office after work when he saw a poor old man. The man was standing at the puddle in the road. He was wearing long rubber fishing boots and he was holding a stick with a piece of string. The string was hanging in the puddle. George asked the old man what he was doing and the man answered that he was fishing. “Poor thing!”, George thought. The old man seemed to be crazy. George felt sorry for the old man, and he was getting very wet, standing outside in the rain, so he decided to invite the old man to have a drink with him in the bar.
George bought a drink for himself and one for the old man. The old man was smiling happily as he was drinking. While they were finishing their drinks, George tried to start a conversation. He turned to the old man and asked,
“So is the fishing good today?”
“Not bad today, thanks,” answered the old man.
“And how many have you caught?”
“You’re the eighth,” the old man answered.
