Once upon a time in a fishing village on the beach. A wandering boy came in a state of sadness. His shirt was a shabby, thin body, his eyes empty. One of the fishermen approached, hugged and warmed the child in his house. The fisherman gives his freshest catch. The boy eats with excitement.
The next day, the boy was invited around. Meet people and get acquainted with them. When night comes, they reach the edge of the cliff overlooking the ocean. Their stomach chimed in. All day long, they have not eaten anything yet. They then took the boat and sailed somewhat into the middle. Seen some other fishermen looking for fish there.
The fisherman opens his bag, picks up the nets and hooks. He spread his net. One, two, three times. Until finally he netted some big fish. He tied up the fish and then handed the net over to the boy.
"Here are the kids, take your turn now." Fishermen then jumped into the water and swam to the beach with their catch.
On the edge, he was reprimanded by other fishermen who saw the incident. "Neighbors, I do not really understand what you do, but I see you leave that poor child in the middle of the ocean!"
"True brother" Answered the Fisherman casually.
"Did not you take him around the village all day without eating, and you left him alone with your catch, would not you share it with him?" Asked the astonished neighbor in a slightly annoyed tone.
The fisherman smiled. "It's true my brother, I left him, but by boat and my net."
"I still do not understand!" The neighbor said in amazement.
The fishermen repeatedly asked, "Are not we a fisherman, do we not live in the ocean for so long? At that time, what have we done?"
"Of course we catch fish We are fishermen" replied neighbors.
"Well, that's what I teach. When you give the boy a fish, you feed him a day, but if you tell the boy how to catch a fish, you feed him for life, is not that what makes us live in the ocean all the time, my brother? "Said the fisherman.
"I see now ..." said the neighbor, nodding.
Fishermen teach that in life, science is more useful than matter. He also taught, when conveying knowledge, the transmitter must give an example first. So the transmitter needs a method so that the person who is conveyed understands. Like the Fisherman who left the boy alone, gave him two choices; learn to catch fish, or pull over to starvation.
As should be Ali bin Abi Thalib,
"Science is better than wealth, science keeps you and you keep treasure, science punishes and rewards punishment, the treasure is less when spent but knowledge increases when spent."
