A man saw a fisherman standing in the lake with a mirror. “Excuse me,” he said. “What are you doing?”
“Fishing,” the fisherman replied.
“With a mirror?” the man asked, surprise.
“Sure-it's a new invention. I am going to make a fortune.”
“Could you tell how it works?”
“Okay, but is will cost you $10.”
To satisfy his curiousity, the man handed the fisherman the money. “Now show me how it works,” he said.
“Well,” the fisherman began, “you aim the mirror into the water, and when a fish goes by, you startle him with rays of light reflected from the mirror. The fish gets confused and then you grab it.”
The man was greatly surprised. “Don't tell me that how you fish. It's ridiculous! How many have you caught?”
“You are the fifth today!” replied the fisherman with a smile.
