A fisherman"s life

                               A fisherman is a man. He lives in a hut near the sea together with his family. He wears an old sarong, banian and a hat on his head. He is not a wealthy man.

                                He is a very active person. He works very hard. As sea he faces many hardships and dangers. When a strong wind blows, his boat may sink or hit rocks and be broken into pieces. He faces these dangers specially in the monsoon season.

     

                                 He goes fishing at night. Therefore he is able to catch a lot of fish. When he goes fishing, he takes a fishing net, and a basket to collect the fish. A lantern is always with him. He goes to the sea at night and returns the next morning. Then he begins to sell the fish. He goes on the bicycle with his basket hung on his back. He goes down the road and comes daily to our house too. In the morning the fish are expensive but in the evening they are rather cheap. Sometimes he preserves the fish and dries them. He is unhappy because on rainy days some people do not buy fish. He gets a lot of money by selling fish.

                               He gets back home late. After having his meals he takes a rest and continue his work later in the evening, someday his children may also follow in his footsteps and become fisherman.
