Here’s a nice short story for intermediate to advanced learners, posted by madmax_br5 on Reddit:
An American investment banker was walking by the pier of a coastal Mexican village when a fisherman docked his small boat nearby and tossed several large yellow fin tuna onto the dock.
The American complimented the Mexican on the quality of his fish and asked, “How long does it take to catch them?”
The Mexican replied: “Not very long — maybe a couple of hours, senor.”
The American then asked why the fisherman didn’t stay out longer and catch more fish.
The Mexican said he had enough to support his family’s immediate needs and was happy with that.
The American then asked, “But what do you do with the rest of your time?”
The Mexican fisherman said, “I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, take siesta with my wife, Maria, stroll into the village each evening where I sip wine and play guitar with my friends. I have a full and busy life which I enjoy very much.”
BTW, I will be making a major announcement about a new Antimoon feature in the next few days, so stay tuned!
