The fisherman

In the late forties my mom moved with my grandfather to the new city due to my grandfather was working in Police and every two or three years changes his place.

 The new city was Rosetta. It's  an ancient city dating back to the era of the Pharaohs and is located on the Nile River and the Mediterranean. Really it's beautiful place and you can feel when you walk among it's alleys you walk among papers of history book.

At that time there was no electricity, but they spend their time on the candle lights and lamps which work with kerosene.

My grandfather was when he moves to a new town was leased home because he knows that bare will not last more than two years in this place.

My mother told me that her neighbor was a fisherman and every night he was coming out with his a colleague after midnight with his boat and his net to catch the fish  where the fish attracted through the light which comes from lamp to come into the net and the next day he sell the fish in the market or to his neighbors, including my grandfather.

One day he agreed with his colleague to come to his house to go to the river to catch the fish after midnight as usual. His friend came to do that but this fisherman but he found something  is uncommon where the fish jump inside the boat without any reason and these fish with abnormal size even his boat became full of the fish.

He suggested to collect some firewood to drink hot tea but when he light the fire he discovered his colleague has not normal feet but it was like feet for goat or sheep.

The fisherman didn't tell his colleague about this but came back to his home and till my grand father about that and my mother told me she saw these fish and she found these fish with abnormal sizes

In the next night this colleague came and knock his door to take the fisherman but the fisherman didn't replay because he knows in this night if he came out with this thing he will never back to his home again . It's strange tale but it happened and my mother was witness about this.
