A TRUTHFUL1 Man, finding a musical instrument in the road, asked the

　　name of it, and was told that it was a fish-horn. The next time he

　　went fishing he set his nets and blew the fish-horn all day to

　　charm the fish into them; but at nightfall there were not only no

　　fish in his nets, but none along that part of the coast. Meeting a

　　friend while on his way home he was asked what luck he had had.

　　"Well," said the Truthful Man, "the weather is not right for

　　fishing, but it's a red-letter day for music."
