This is a little silly. In 15 years he'd be having the good life plus a million dollars that he could donate to feed hungry people or whatever else would feel fulfilling to him. Not that he has to do all that the business man says, but he acts as though it should not be important to have that money. Plus, doesn't that man think he might make the business man feel like he's wasted his life and that this fisherman's life is more peaceful and better than his?

I wrote and published this nearly 20 years ago. However, when we researched it for the book in 2009, we found a very similar story in German written in 1961 which we site in the book. And apparently, this is an archetypal story that appears in various form in ancient Russian and Buddhist literature. The video is a modern adaptation of my story in the 1990s which appears in various forms on over 100,000 websites, a 1961 story and ancient lore.

The essence of this meaningful tale is ripped off from a parable I heard many years ago.......business man sees a native islander lounging in a hammock, and describes how the man can get ahead and ultimately retire to what he already has. Boo, Mitch.
