Captain & fisherman
The cautious captain of a small ship had to go along a coast with which he was unfamiliar , so he tried to find a qualified pilot to guide him. He went ashore in one of the small ports where his ship stopped, and a local fisherman pretended that he was the one because he needed some money. The captain took him on board and let him steer the ship. After half an hour the captain began to suspect that the fisherman did not really know what he was doing or where he was going so he said to him,' are you sure you are a qualified pilot? 'Oh, yes' answered the fisherman .'I know every rock on this part of the coast.'Suddenly there was a terrible tearing sound from under the ship. At once the fisherman added," and that's one of them."
ناخدا و ماهيگير
ناخدای محتاط يك كشتی كوچك مجبور بود در امتداد ساحل دريايی كه نميشناخت حركت كند...بنابر اين تلاش كرد تا يك ناخدای اشنا به انجا را پيدا كند. او كنار يكی از بندرهای كوچكی كه كشتی اش توقف كرد ايستاد و يك ماهيگير محلی چون به پول احتياج داشت طوری وانمود كرد كه يك راننده كشتی ماهر است. ناخدا او را سوار كرد و به او اجازه داد كشتی را براند. بعد از نيم ساعت ناخدا گمان كرد كه ماهيگير نميداند كه واقعا كجا ميرود پس به او گفت: "تو مطمئنی ناخدای ماهر هستی؟"
ماهيگير جواب داد: بله.....من همه سنگهای بندر را از كناردريا ميشناسم..ناگهان صدای پاره شدن از زير كشتی امد. ماهيگير فورا افزود: "اين هم يكي از همان سنگها بود"
