It happened that a Fisher, after fishing all day, caught
only a little fish. ‘Pray, let me go, master,’ said the Fish. ‘I
am much too small for your eating just now. If you put
me back into the river I shall soon grow, then you can
make a fine meal off me.’
‘Nay, nay, my little Fish,’ said the Fisher, ‘I have you
now. I may not catch you hereafter.’
Moral Lesson: A little thing in hand is worth more than a great thing
in prospect.
