Crimson’s Creative Challenge #97
“What are you after?” I asked as I passed the boy and his mother.
“Bass,” said the boy.
“Mullet,” said the mother.
“What have you caught?” I asked.
“Nothing,” said the mother.
“The mullet won’t bite,” the boy said.
“And why should they?” said the mother. “Would you take from a new source when you’ve plenty of food on your own ground?”
I nodded and walked on.

It’s simple but great, Crispina. Everyone has a lesson to tell, only you need to be willing to listen. I hope they get enough to feed themselves and take to the market though. Life can be tough for fisherfolks like them.

And yet we do. We always want the latest this, that and the other, and scorn what’s locally grown or made

Well as they say that is why they call it Fishing and not Catching!! Nice mood on the pic though.
