A Qualified Pilot4 G9 q) r1 [/ l, J
The captain of a small ship had to go along a rocky coast, but he was unfamiliar with it, so he tried to find a qualified pilot to guide him. He went ashore in one of the small ports, and a local fisherman pretended that he was a pilot because he needed some money. The captain took him on board and asked him where to steer the ship./ X( g4 U$ \2 r( N. c7 J: \6 g4 A. j
