<p>A Fisherman who could play the flute went down one day to the
sea-shore with his nets and his flute; and, taking his stand on a
projecting rock, began to play a tune, thinking that the music
would bring the fish jumping out of the sea. He went on playing for
some time, but not a fish appeared: so at last he threw down his
flute and cast his net into the sea, and made a great haul of fish.
When they were landed and he saw them leaping about on the shore,
he cried, "You rascals! you wouldn't dance when I piped: but now
I've stopped, you can do nothing else!"</p>
