[00:26.20]I often fish for hours without catching anything. [00:31.64]But this does not worry me. [00:35.02]Some fishermen are unlucky. [00:38.16]Instead of catching fish, [00:40.55]they catch old boots and rubbish. [00:44.35]I am even less lucky. [00:47.04]I never catch anything --not even old boots. [00:52.39]After having spent whole mornings on the river, [00:56.56]I always go home with an empty bag. [01:00.94]'You must give up fishing!' [01:03.50]my friends say. 'It's a waste of time.' [01:09.10]But they don't realize one important thing. [01:14.22]I'm not really interested in fishing. [01:17.87]I am only interested in sitting in a boat and doing nothing at all!
