Fabel Aesop

Two Travelers were walking along the seashore, Far out they saw something riding on the waves. Look, said one, a great ship rides in from distant lands, bearing rich treasures! The object they saw came ever nearer the shore. No, said the other, that is not a treasure ship. That is some fisherman's skiff, with the day's catch of savoury fish. Still nearer came the object. The waves washed it up on shore. It is a chest of gold lost from some wreck, they cried. Both Travelers rushed to the beach, but there they found nothing but a water-soaked log.
