The shrimps' fisherman

From Corriere Elbano: Section " Yesterday's days and visions" March 23, 1950
The shrimps'fisherman

It is not uncommon to meet along our piers or pebbly beaches, some shrimps fishermen. These men are calm and steady, are settle for what is right, they are philosophers and always a good chat.

They are used to see the shrimps going backward and  look at progress with suspicion, indeed, some progress, and are generally skeptic on the subject of human virtue.

They know that with a tale of cod or with a spoiled fish the shrimps are easily caught, so as happens to humanity that is often the victim of his own greed.

The fisherman is not a customer of the renowned tailors, nor of shoe store and he doesn't need great means to succeed.

he only needs a small iron circle, some nets, a bit of string and an empty preserves can to satisfy his passion for fishing. But fried shrimps, let go, are a real luxury!
