A weak fisherman caught a strong fish in his net, but he did not have the strength to hold it. The fish overpowered him, snatched the net from his hand, and escaped.

A slave went to fetch water from the stream

The stream of water came and carried the slave away!

The net brought fish every time

This time the fish went and took the net away

Other fishermen regretted and blamed him for such a catch falling into his net and not knowing how to keep it. He said: 'O brothers, what can be done? It was not my destiny, and the fish still had time to live. A fisherman without sustenance cannot catch fish in the Tigris, and a fish whose time has not come will not die on dry land.'
