This smoke rose up to the clouds, and stretching over the sea and the shore, formed a thick mist, which caused the fisherman much astonishment.
He set it in front of him, and whilst he was looking at it attentively, such a thick smoke came out that he had to step back a pace or two. He turned it upside down, but nothing came out, which surprised him very much. To find out, he took his knife, and with a little trouble he opened it.
But he heard nothing, and so, judging from the impression of the seal and the lid, he thought there must be something precious inside. He examined the jar on all sides he shook it to see if it would rattle. “I will sell it to the founder,” he said “with the money I shall get for it I shall buy a measure of wheat.”
There was no fish however, but he found a yellow pot, which by its weight seemed full of something, and he noticed that it was fastened and sealed with lead, with the impression of a seal. When he thought he had a fish he drew them in with a great deal of trouble. Then he threw his nets for the fourth time. But he only drew in stones, shells, and mud. So saying, he threw away the rubbish, and after having washed his nets clean of the dirt, he threw them for the third time. “O Fortune,” he cried, “do not trifle thus with me, a poor fisherman, who can hardly support his family!” But he only found a large basket full of rubbish. In drawing them in he again felt a great weight, so that he thought they were full of fish. Vexed with having such a bad haul, when he had mended his nets, which the carcase of the ass had broken in several places, he threw them a second time. But a moment afterwards, seeing that instead of a fish he only had in his nets the carcase of an ass, he was much disappointed. He though he had caught a large fish, and he felt very pleased. He undressed and threw his nets, and as he was drawing them towards the bank he felt a great weight. He started out one morning by moonlight and came to the sea-shore. He went every day to fish very early, and each day he made a rule not to throw his nets more than four times. Sire, there was once upon a time a fisherman so old and so poor that he could scarcely manage to support his wife and three children.
