+a shepherd keeping watch over his sheep near the shore saw the sea very calm and smooth and longed to make a voyage with a view to commerce
+he sold all his flock invested it in a cargo of dates and set sail
+but a very great tempest came on and the ship being in danger of sinking he threw all his merchandise overboard and barely escaped with his life in the empty ship
+not long afterwards when someone passed by and observed the unruffled calm of the sea he interrupted him and said
+it is again in want of dates and therefore looks quiet
