This is somewhat along the same lines:

An American visits South America and sees a man fishing on the banks of a river. The man stops fishing when he has caught enough fish to feed his family.
The American asks him why he has stopped when the waters are obviously bountiful. Surely, the American tells him, if he kept fishing he could catch enough to sell at market and eventually buy himself a small boat with the money he has made. With a small boat he would be able to catch more fish to sell to the fish processing plant in the city. With the money he makes from larger catches he would be able to buy a bigger boat and go to sea, catch even more fish, and make more money.
Then, he tells the man, when you are rich from having worked hard you would be able to retire, get yourself a fishing rod, relax and go fishing for pleasure.
