David was a young man who worked in an office in a big city. His hobby was fishing, but he did not often get a chance to practice it.
Then one summer he decided to have a holiday in a beautiful place in the mountains where there were a lot of streams. 'I ought to be able to have some good fishing there,' he said to himself.
The first morning after he arrived, he walked to the nearest stream with his fishing-rod. He saw an old man standing beside the water, so he asked him whether it was a private stream. The old man answered that it was not, so David then said to him, 'Well, then it won't be a crime if I catch some fish here, will it?'
'Oh, no,' answered the old man, 'it won't be a crime, but it will certainly be a miracle.'
