I think that the saying means you can eat a fish in one day and not be hungry. If you can learn to fish, you can catch a fish every day and never be hungry because you can eat every day.
I think that this Chinese proverb means that when you are giving and are willing to give a man a fish, he will not be hungry for one day. If you are caring and teach a man to fish, he will never be hungry because he can capture his own food for the rest of his life.
I think that saying means to be nice and kind to people. I think that because whenthey are saying give a man a fish feed him for a day it sounds like the person is saying he is poor and when he says teach him how to fish it sounds like the person is saying he doesn't know how to do that much.
I think this saying means if you feed a man a fish you have to feed him for a lifetime. Why, because the man you are feeding for a lifetime dosen't know how to fish.
What the saying means is that if you are to give a man one fish the food would last him one meal. However, if you teach a man how to fish he can catch and prepare his own fish for the rest of his life because fishing if an art you can never forget.
I think the Chinese Proverb means you can eat fish and only eat it for a day but if you catch fish you can eat more fish. If he learns to fish than he can eat everyday.
I think the Chinese proverb,"Give a man a fish and feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime." I think it means the man is always hungry and teach him to feed himself.
What the chinese proverb means is that if you are to give a man one fish the food would last him one meal. However, if you teach a man how to fish he can catch and prepare his own fish for the rest of his life because fishing if an art you can never forget.
I think the Chinese Proverb,"Give a man a fish you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for alifetime." I thiink that means if you give a man a fish you are giving him food which will feed him for a day. Although, when you teach him how to fish you are giving him food for a lifetime because whenever he needs food or is hungry he can just go and fish for food.
I think the Chinese proverb means that if you give a man something he will want more from you. Also, the other part probably means if you teach a man to get that thing, he will never ask for more from you.
It means that feeding a man one fish, which is one meal but if you teach him how to fish then, he will get his own fish. Then it won't waste my time and if he wants his own fish, then he will have to waste his own time.
I think that this Chinese proverb means if you give a man a fish you feed him for a day. Now teach the man to fish and you have fed him for a lifetime because now he can gather his own food.
I think that this Chinese proverb means that if you give someone food he won't go hungry for a day, but If you teach them to catch food, they won't ever go hungry.
I would give a fish and keep him and go fishing every day and teach him how to fish and it will be fun and then we can play and my dad can take us dirt bikeing.
I think that this means that if you give a man a fish he won’t be hungry anymore for the day. However, if you teach him how to fish he can catch fish for himself and he can feed himself for the rest of his life.
The saying, "Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime," I think it means that the man will keep fishing and get so good that they could eat fish the rest of his life.
They mean that if you teach a man to fend for himself then you won't have to do things for him. Also it will help that man because he won't have to ask anyone to do something for him.
I think it means that if you give someone enough food for one day, it will most likely be gone in one day. If you teach someone how to get food, they will always know how to get food, and never run out or go hungry.
This proverb if you give a man a fish you have to feed him for a day, means that if you give somebody one of something you have to give him more. The other sang is if you teach a man to fish you feed him for a lifetime, I think this means that you feed him for a lifetime because you can eat fish and catch fish until you die.
I think that means that means when you just feed a man a fish, that can only last a day because a fish will not be able to feed a man for a lifetime. If you teach a man to fish, the man will be able to catch fish for himself and catch fish everyday, so that is basecly feed for a lifetime.
It probably means that if you give him a fish from your pond that probably means that you gave him some money for food. But the part were it says “if you teach him how fish you feed him for a life time” probably means that you teach him how to do a job to feed himself.
I really don't know what that means but I would say that it means that you should teach the man how to fish and so he can feed himself? Well that might be it I guess?
If I had to decide what, "Give a man a fish and feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and feed him for a lifetime." means that if you give a man a fish, he can eat a fish for a day. If you teach him how to fish, he can catch a fish every day so he can feed himself.
I think the Chinese proverb "Given a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. I think it means that if you give a man a fish he would want it and it is also very hungry.
I think that the Proverb saying means, that if you give a man a fish he is not hungry for a day. But if you teach a man to fish, then he won’t be hungry for a lifetime.
