Storie.

One early morning, a man was standing at the top of a certain hill that was overlooking the sea.

On the footpath below, two fishermen who had just returned from sea were on the way to the market to sell their goods. They saw the man standing at the top of the hill and began to talk about it.

The first man said, “I think he is looking at the sea and admiring how beautiful it is.”

Said the second man,” No, no, look at the way he stares at the sky; he must be admiring the sunrise.”

“Come to think of it, he may be waiting for someone he loves to return from sea.”

“No I disagree, he has such an evil look on his face; he must be waiting to rob some unsuspecting fisherman that passes by!”

Thus the two fishermen bickered over this issue and came up with more and more ridiculous reasons as to why he was standing on top of the hill.

Finally one of them said, “Why not let us simply go and ask him for the reason?”

They agreed, and they did so.

The man who was standing at the top appeared confused at their question, and answered,” I am standing here simply because I feel like standing here.”
