An old man lived by the river Kaveri.

He used to catch ﬁsh for a living. But he did not eat ﬁsh himself.

Everyday he caught ﬁsh and sold them in the evening at the market.

He was not a greedy man.

One day his grandson saw him throwing back a ﬁsh into the river. “Grandpa, why did you do that?” he asked. “Little one, I need to earn, so I catch fish. But I don’t need too much money. So I put back somefish into the river.”

“And how do you decide which ﬁsh to put into the basket and which fish to throw back into the river?” 17
