@roger,
A fisherman's wife gave birth to twin boys, but the couple couldn't
think up any names. So, they decided to wait a few days before naming them.
They soon noticed that one always looked towards the sea. The other looked away from the sea. It didn't matter where they were. The parents named their boys Towards and Away.
When the boys reached 14, their father took them to sea to learn to fish. The trip was supposed to be short. But the fisherman's wife waited a week before her husband returned, alone.
When she asked where the boys were, the fisherman told her the
following strange story.
Towards snagged a large fish early on the first day. He struggled with the fish for nearly 25 hours. Eventually, though, he tired and the fish pulled him over the side of the ship and devoured him.
"Oh, my," said the fisherman's wife. "That must have been a huge
fish!"
"Indeed it was," replied her husband, "but you should have seen the one that got Away."
