A FISHERMAN
The man who catches fish to earn his livelihood is known as a fisherman. The man, who is involved in this work, has taken it as a profession. In fact, he leads a very ordinary life. He finds it difficult to make both ends meet because of his meagre income. He is labourious and painstaking, no doubt, but his income is not proportionate to his labour. His first and foremost task is to catch fish from different sources and sell them in the local market to earn his livelihood. He usually catches fishes in the rivers, seas, canals, haors, beels, ponds and ditches by nets and boats. Sometimes, he fishes in groups in the form of cooperation. His life is very risky as his income is uncertain. When he goes to the deep seas, his family becomes anxious for him. In the event of a natural calamity, his life grows totally uncertain and risky. It is difficult to say whether he will come back to his family or not. He works day and night with his net and boat, but he cannot be sure of his income. In such a situation, his family have to starve for days together. In spite of his hard labour, he can hardly lead a comfortable life. A fisherman, being illiterate and ignorant cannot lead a healthy life. He has no knowledge of nutrition or hygiene and consequently he along with the members of his family suffer from various diseases. His economic condition not being good, he cannot afford the cost of proper treatment for himself and his family members. So, it is often seen that diseases and death are constant companions of his family.
