The Fisherman's Leftovers

Hiroshi was a young man who dreamed of becoming a fisherman like his older brothers. Following every meal, Hiroshi dropped the fisherman's leftovers overboard as a thank you gift for the fish. One starry night he peered over the rail of the boat and noticed that the sea had disappeared. He didn't want to wake his brothers from their slumber so he found a rope ladder,. lowered it over the boat's rail and climbed down.
