La pêche miraculeuse
A man is sailing on his boat with his cat, on a calm sea. He’s fishing quietly, keeping his fishing rod. As he cathches the first fish, he gives it to to his begging, hungry cat. Soon, fish after fish, they all bites the lure, in increasingly absurd ways. They get immediately ou of the poor man hand, following a surrealist and implacable logic.
