Fishermen
killed
|Many years ago, a fisherman's wife blessed her husband with twin sons. They loved the children
very much, but couldn't think of what to name their children. Finally, after several days, the fisherman
said, "Let's not decide on names right now. If we wait a little while, the names will simply occur to
us." After several weeks had passed, the fisherman and his wife noticed a peculiar fact. When left alone,
one of the boys would also turn towards the sea, while the other boy would face inland. It didn't matter
which way the parents positioned the children, the same child always faced the same direction. "Let's call
the boys Towards and Away," suggested the fisherman. His wife agreed, and from that point on, the boys were
simply known as Towards and Away. The years passed and the lads grew tall and strong. The day came when the
aging fisherman said to his sons, "Boys, it is time that learned how to make a living from the sea." They
provisioned their ship, said their goodbyes, and set sail for a three month voyage. The three months passed
quickly for the fisherman's wife, yet the ship had not returned. Another three months passed, and still no
ship. Three whole years passed before the greiving woman saw a lone man walking towards her house. She
recognized him as her husband. "My goodness! What has happened to my darling boys?
" she cried. The ragged
fisherman began to tell his story: "We were just barely one whole day out to see when Towards hooked into a
great fish. Towards fought long and hard, but the fish was more than his equal. For a whole week they
wrestled upon the waves without either of them letting up. Yet eventually the great fish started to win the
battle, and Towards was pulled over the side of our ship. He was swallowed whole, and we never saw either of
them again." "Oh dear, that must have been terrible! What a huge fish that must of been!" "Yes, it was,
but you should have seen the one that got Away...."
