It was Friday night and Mike was in his office, sad.
Jean, had been Mike’s friend for ten years, (give)him a friendly call,” What are you going to do tomorrow?”
“Nothing.”
“Let’s go fishing. We haven’t done for ages.”
Mike became very happy and accepted the invitation. So the two men went to Loire River following day.
While waiting ,Mike said that his employees had been unhelpful, and he found it difficult (get) the results he wanted from them.
“What do you think about it?” asked Jean.
“Yeah, they never listen to me,” replied Mike while eating his bananas.
A couple of minutes (late), Mike put aside the bananas he’d been eating and shouted (excited), “Great, a large fish!”
Jean smiled. He asked Mike, “What did you use your bait(鱼饵), the way?”
“A worm,” Mike replied. “Why didn’t you use your bananas? You’re very fond of them, aren’t you?”
“Well, my friend, I do love bananas, I’m not stupid enough to put them on as my bait.”
“So it’s not going to work?”
“No.”
“Why not use the common sense when fishing for people?”
