The Fishing Lesson
Heinrich Böll, illustrated by Emile Bravo
While photographing a fisherman asleep in his boat, a tourist imagines how much more money the fisherman might make by taking additional catches. The tourist pictures a business built from a second, third, or fourth trip out to fish. The fisherman does not share those priorities, creating a contrast between the tourist’s plans for expansion and the fisherman’s own view of what matters.
