One fish. two fish. red fish. blue fish. black fish. blue fish. old fish. new fish. this one has a little star. this one has a little car. say! what a lot of fish there are.

If you have to dry the dishes (such an awful boring chore) if you have to dry the dishes ('stead of going to the store) if you have to dry the dishes and you drop one on the floor maybe they won't let you dry the dishes anymore
Dry Awful Boring
While washing dishes one should be washing the dishes, which means that while washing the dishes one should be completely aware of the fact that one is washing dishes.
Mean Facts Should
So, eventually, he made one final arrangement with himself, which he has religiously held to ever since, and that was to count each fish that he caught as ten, and to assume ten to begin with. for example, if he did not catch any fish at all, then he said he had caught ten fish - you could never catch less than ten fish by his system; that was the foundation of it. then, if by any chance he really did catch one fish, he called it twenty, while two fish would count thirty, three forty, and so on.

A fish swims in the ocean, and no matter how far it swims there is no end to the water. a bird flies in the sky, and no matter how far it flies there is no end to the air. however the fish and the bird have never left their elements. thus each of them totally covers its full range, and each of them totally experiences its realm... know that water is life and air is life. the bird is life and the fish is life. life must be the bird and life must be the fish... practice, enlightenment and people are like this.

Death Running Ocean
Conceive a jelly-fish such as sails in our summer seas, bell-shaped and of enormous size - far larger, i should judge, than the dome of st. paul's. it was of a light pink colour veined with a delicate green, but the whole huge fabric so tenuous that it was but a fairy outline against the dark blue sky. it pulsated with a delicate and regular rhythm. from it there depended two long drooping, green tentacles, which swayed slowly backwards and forwards. this gorgeous vision passed gently with noiseless dignity over my head, as light and fragile as a soap-bubble, and drifted upon its stately way.
