Wise Man

A strange place that to fish in.

Fool

They spread them out on the hills that they may catch the feet of the angels; but every morning just before the dawn, I go out and cut the nets with the shears and the angels fly away.

Wise Man

Fool

I have seen plenty of angels.

Wise Man

No, no, you have not.
