In front of
the city of Salvador de Bahia,in Brazil, arose as a large rock on the water of
the Atlantic Ocean, a small island called Itaparica.
Very old
people living there like some time to tell the story strange arrival there long
Paolo.
When you
live near the sea and it is a fisherman, it is not every day that one brings to
fish this all the fishermen in the world you say.
So long
time ago, Paolo was a fisherman. Oh, fisherman he had the name, nobody had ever
spent so much time at sea to bring so few fish. Ever!
The
inhabitants of the island even mocked him. They watched with some sadness as
Paolo was poor. Everyone said that the poor boy had really bad luck, a 5 year
old child would catch more fish than him, and that ultimately it would be
better to change jobs.
One
evening, Paolo had lingered at sea.
