21. One day a man decided to go fishing at the lake. He grabbed his rod and reel, loaded up his tackle box with bait, and headed out. When he arrived at the dock, he noticed that the lake was completely frozen over. Determined to still catch some fish, he carefully walked out onto the ice. He chose a spot, drilled a hole, and dropped his line in. After waiting for hours without even a nibble, he decided to give up. As he turned to leave, a loud booming voice from above said “THERE ARE NO FISH IN THERE!” Startled, the man looked around but saw no one. Again the voice boomed “I SAID THERE ARE NO FISH IN THERE! IT’S FROZEN SOLID!” The man still couldn’t see anyone, so he yelled back “God? Is that you?” The voice replied “NO YOU IDIOT, IT’S THE ICE RINK MANAGER!”

After being dropped off, the man spent hours fishing but wasn’t having any luck. Out of nowhere, a small Native American boy rowed towards him in a canoe. The boy said “Hey mister, you’re not going to catch anything that way. Let me show you how my people fish.” Intrigued, the wealthy man agreed. The boy proceeded to bang on the side of the boat with a stick for a few minutes, then stopped and put down his stick. Within minutes, fish started jumping into the man’s boat, filling it to the brim with some of the biggest catches he’d ever seen. Astounded, the man asked “How did you do that?” The boy replied “Well, my people have been fishing this lake for centuries. The fish recognize our boats and trust our traditions.” The man said “Wow, I’ll have to remember this trick next time!” As the boy rowed away, he turned back and said “Just be sure to come back in a traditional canoe, otherwise it won’t work. And don’t forget to bring your own stick!”

Shocked, she called out “Where’s all your equipment and the fish you caught?!” He replied “What fish?”

After looking the salmon over, the ranger shook his head and said “Sorry sir, but this fish is under the legal size limit. I’m going to have to write you a ticket and confiscate it.” The fisherman argued “But officer, I’ve been trying all day to catch something. Can’t you let me have this one?” The ranger said “No can do. The law is the law.” Defeated, the man handed the salmon over.
