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
