The fisherman, known for his insatiable greed, stepped into his boat, eager to fill it with fish. He was the only fisherman who would drag his net underwater for more than the usual 20 minutes.

He cast his net and dragged it for 30 minutes. When he pulled it up, his boat was teeming with a variety of fish. His eyes gleamed with the sight of his catch, but his greed was not satisfied.

The fisherman, not satisfied with his already hefty catch, decided to cast his net again. This time, he intended to drag the net for an entire hour.

As he dragged his net, it suddenly snagged onto something. He pulled with all his might, but the net wouldn't budge. He hadn't realized that his greed had led his net to catch on a large, jagged rock.

In his struggle to free the net, the boat started to rock dangerously. The fisherman's heart pounded in his chest as he realized the precarious situation he was in.

Suddenly, a large wave hit the boat, flipping it over. The fisherman was thrown into the water, and his hard-earned catch was lost to the depths of the lake. His greed had cost him everything.

The fisherman managed to swim to the shore, gasping for breath. He looked at the empty lake, then at his damaged net, and finally at the overturned boat. His greed had led to his downfall.

The fisherman learned a harsh lesson that day - greed only leads to loss. From that day onwards, he fished responsibly, respecting the lake and the life it harbored.
