A tiny shining fish, innocent and poor, was caught by a rowing fisherman. The fish slipped out of his tough hand but was caught in the fishermans net. It wriggled out of the maze of the net perhaps by the force of temporary luck, but then strightaway fell into the mouth of a stork eagerly waiting, and was gobbled up by the bird. Tell me, if your fate Is crooked, how on earth can you find any success in any of your avowed projects ?
