The Fisherman and His Music

A Fisherman sat by the river playing a flute, hoping the fish would dance into his net.

When nothing happened, he put away the flute, threw in the net, and caught many fish.

As they flopped around, he said, “Now you dance—but it's too late.”

Moral: If you don’t act when you should, regret comes when it’s useless.
