 Eventually, Papa and Mama had nine children. You can imagine that all of the boys got their sea legs early, began helping Papa on his fishing boat from the time they learned to walk. All of them except Giuseppe. Giuseppe didn't want to. What do you mean you don't want to, demanded Papa. Well, Giuseppe explained that the rocking of the small boat and the smell of the fish made him ill. It wasn't that he didn't want to help out. Fish just didn't agree with him, that's all. But that wasn't good enough for Papa. As far as Papa was concerned, Giuseppe was good for nothing.
