Unce upon a time in a small town called Walkman, there was a fisherman named Agustin. Agustin loved to fish from his boat, it was the most enjoyful thing he could possibly do. He started fishing when he was 5 years old, his father was always behind him, teaching him, supporting him and always with him. It was a rainy night when Agustin noticed that his father was taking to much time in coming back from the harbor to the house. After to much waiting, he went to bed with a lot of thoughts in his mind, he closed his eyes and he wondered.
In the coming morning, Agustin woke up desperately to see his father; he was not there, his father was gone. Agustin so frightened ran 6 km from the house to the harbor with the last breath on his hardened chest and his coming tears on his eyes. Right in the moment when he arrived at the harbor, he noticed that his dad's boat was not there. He asked so sadly about his father to the local sailors and fishermen and they kept on telling him that they did not know where his father was after the storm from the night before. It took a lot of time to Agustin to get over the appearent death of his dad.
As soon as the sun came out Agustin was working. He was always going to fish for small portions of fish or shrimp that he could sell himself to win what was enough for food and cheap savings. It took him quite a while to save enough money for his new boat that he planned on having to make his little job bigger. He know had 2 boats and his money was starting to come swiftly. He kept his routine for some time, work, save, work, save and so on... he lived happily but sometimes with sad thoughts on his mind.
On a normal day work of fishing, he went close to a rainforest-like island and he saw a small plant with only 2 leaves on it. There was water falling from the leaves, small drops sliding down to the ground... these drops looked like pebbles to him, pebbles that he used to play with his father. He felt sad in the very beggining when he saw the pebbles coming down from the leaf, but then he realized that it was supposed to be a happy moment, one of those moments that gives you a push so you can keep going forward and forward with out looking back. When he came back to the harbor, he suddenly got a flash idea of a shrimping company... 'damn' he thought. He saved money and he bought a third boat.
Now he owned 3 boats, three fish or shrimp boats that made him win considerable amounts of money, since the fish and shrimp were in demand. It was very special to him to see the three boats anchored in the harbor, he never thought that he could get that far with only one boat. He was leaving one of the most happier times of his life after the death of his father. Agustin had only one thing on his mind before his job, the thing that kept him on going, he had that plant with the pebbles and the image of his dad playing with him outside. He liked to think this way, this kind of feelings is what made him strong to keep moving and that he even discovered himself which even made it more special. Agustin found prosperity and happyness for the rest of his life as a fisherman like his own father.
