WHY IS THE FISH YOURS TO GIVE?

Dear VoodooLawyer:
I went around crying "A Kingdom! A kingdom! My horse for a Kingdom!" but nobody took me up on it...nothing but rubes around here. Riding on to the glue factory, I had some time to think about men and fish...


GIVE A MAN A FISH, AND HE EATS FOR A DAY.
GIVE A FISH A MAN, AND HE EATS FOR A WEEK, MAYBE MORE.
GIVE THAT FISH TO A MAN, AND HE EATS FOR TWO DAYS.
GOT IT?

GIVE A MAN A FISH, AND HE WILL THANK YOU SINCERELY.
TEACH HIM TO FISH AND HE TURNS INTO A LIAR.
GIVE A MAN A FISH, AND HE EATS FOR A DAY.
SLAP HIM UPSIDE THE HEAD WITH A FISH, AND HE KICKS YOUR ASS.
