A group of pleasure-seekers went to a woodland stream to spend a day fishing. They had the best fishing outfits money could buy. Hours passed and they ha nothing to show for their efforts.
Nearby sat a poorly dressed youngster catching several fish. He had only a tree branch for a pole, a string for a line, a bent pin for a hook, worms and flies for bait.
The unsuccessful group finally asked the lad about his success. He said it in few words: “You fellers are fishin’ for fun, I’m fishin’ for fish!”
The fisher-boy’s answer has its lesson for all who would be fishers of men.
