A fisherman skilled at playing the pipes took his pipes and nets down to the sea. Standing on a jutting rock, he began to play, thinking the fish would come out of their own accord at the sound of his sweet music. But when, after playing for a long time, he had achieved nothing, he put down his pipes, picked up his casting net, and threw it into the water, catching many fish. He emptied them out of the nets onto the shore, and when he saw them flopping about, he said, “You wretched creatures! When I played, you would not dance; now that I have stopped, you do!”

This tale is apt for those who act at the wrong moment.
