A Fishing Mirror

[Old Moparz]

"A fisherman from the city was out fishing on a lake in a small boat. He noticed a man in another boat open his tackle box and take out a mirror. Being curious, the man rowed over and asked the man "What is the mirror for?" 

"That's my secret way to catch fish" said the other man. "Shine the mirror on the top of the water. The fish notice the spot of sun on the water and they swim to the surface. I just reach down, net them and pull them into the boat."

"Wow!  Does it really work?"

"You bet it does".

"Would you sell me the mirror?  I'll pay you $40 for it"

"Well, okay".

After the money changed hands, the city fisherman asked" By the way, how many fish have you caught today"

"You're the sixth", he answered.
