The fisherman...(good luck understanding this one)


“This morning I was awoken by an annoying rumbling. Apparently my insides are filled with gears, and this makes a lot of noise. I did some reading, and discovered that I must go to a certain location and wait for the fish to come. When the fish comes I will be able to stop the gears from moving. How does one wait for fish? Well, I am specially equipped to wait for fish because I am a fish man. A fish man gets a stick, a wood boat, and sits until the fish comes. The fish sometimes takes a long time to come. Once it does I match the different kinds of catch with the pictures in my book, and prepare the fish as it instructs. I do not like waiting for the fish to come. That noise! Is it the fish coming?” A young man walks into the bathroom, glances at the woman sitting on a wooden stool in water filled bathtub, holding a twig in her hand. He throws down his bag, pulls a book out of this pocket, and writes, “Followed the map, and hid the loot by the tree in the pond.” “I love watching the fish sit down, and wait for me as I had to wait for him. After I take the catch he will climb into the pond, but first he will wait for me to leave. Now I must make a note in my book, “The fish has come to the pond”, and then I must follow this map to the campfire. It says I must go through this opening, past the sleeping place, down the hill, and through this opening to… yes, this is the place. Now to match the catch with the pictures, this round orange fish does not need any preparation, but the books says this red squishy thing does... What is that sound? I must check my book… while preparing the catch the fish drains the pond and replaces it with new water. That doesn’t seem so smart. Ah, here comes the fish again, he is just sitting there watching me. I will forget about him, for the catch is ready, and I cannot stand the sound of the gears anymore. As soon as I started eating, he started eating some of my catch. Why, is he doing this? What does the book say…let the fish eat, or else he gets very noisy. I do not like noise. It hurts my ears… I like watching the fish make water magically appear. He takes the camp ware and makes bubbly water in that silver thing over there. My book tells me I need to move my boat, and get in the pond making bubbles also. But I will watch him create water for a while longer.
