I'm a fisherman, old and free! I owe no man anything! I'm uneducated. Give me an old punt, a one-clawed jigger and a shotgun, and I'll always go to bed with a full belly. You can't say that for someone in Toronto!

Getting older:

When I was young, I had to learn to catch the rabbit if I wanted to have rabbit soup for my supper on a cold evening in the fall of the year.

But when I got older, life changed. Now, if I comes across a live rabbit in my snare, I lets him go. A dead one, I puts him in my bag and takes him home, but to a live one; I says, “Here, if you're man enough to go, go!”

It is because I'm getting older, or is it because there is not the same need anymore?
