Description
A fisherman is sitting by the river. A second man, standing behind him, wears a suit and a top hat and smokes a cigar.
The caption reads in the original French:
— Mon oncle… Ça mord !…
— Eh bien, voilà deux ans que ça mord… et je ne prends rien.
— C’est comme moi, quand je vous demande de l’argent.
