   He was 11 years old and often went fishing. On the day before bass season opened, he and his father were fishing early in the evening.

When his fishing pole doubled over, he knew something huge was on the other end. His father watched with admiration as the boy skillfully worked the fish. Finally, he lifted the tired fish from the water. It was the largest one he had ever seen, but it was a bass, a kind of valuable fish.

Lighting a match, the father looked at his watch. It was 10 pm—two hours before people were allowed to catch basses. He looked at the fish, then at the boy, saying, “You’ll have to put it back, son.”

Looking around, he saw no other fishermen or boats. Even so, the boy could tell from his father’s voice that the decision couldn’t be changed. He threw the huge bass into the water. The boy thought that he would never again see such a big fish.

That was 34 years ago. Today the boy is a successful businessman in New York. He often takes his son to fish at the same place.

And he was right. He has never again caught such a large fish as the one he got that night long ago. But he does see that same fish... again and again... every time he has an ethical （道德的） decision to make. As his father had taught him, ethics are simple matters of right and wrong. It is only the practice of ethics that is difficult.
