Note to recorder:

Natural speed please

I once went to apply for a business license.

Before the license could be evaluated and granted,

I had to fill out layers of other forms that had almost nothing to do with my planned business.

It was like reeling in one fish to find out that there were ten other fish attached to the first fish via ten other fishing lines,

and that I could not end the fishing
trip unless I either aborted the whole trip or finished pulling in all ten fish.

(If you like fishing you may enjoy such effort.

However, don't forget that many lakes have quotas.)
