Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow:
There were two fishermen and they were very good friends. Both decided to spend their weekend catching fish. So, on a Saturday, they left for the nearby pond. They carried with them utensils and other cooking essentials to have a feast with the fish they would catch.
On reaching the pond, within a couple of minutes, the first fisherman got a big and beautiful fish. He immediately put the fish into an ice box, in order to retain its freshness. It had been almost an hour and the first fisherman thought of seeing the success of his friend. He walked to the second fisherman and saw that the second fisherman hadn’t succeeded in catching a single fish. Moreover, all the big fish that he caught, he kept throwing them back in the pond. This made the first fisherman very angry.
On being asked, the second fisherman told him that those fish were too big and they would not fit into his cooking pot. Therefore, he kept throwing them back into the pond and was waiting to catch the fish of right size. The second fisherman cribbed that God was being unfair to him. On hearing this, the first fisherman was absolutely shocked. He told his friend that he could cut the big fish into small pieces to make the fish fit into his cooking pot. The second fisherman realized his mistake.
God had given him an opportunity, but he was overlooking it, expecting something else.
