THE FISHERMAN AND THE LITTLE FISH

There was once a f i s h e r m a n whose livelihood depended on his catch. One day, he was able to catch only one small fish. The fish, in its desperation to live, says “Please leave me kind sir. I am small and of no use to you. Let me back into the river and I can grow bigger. You can then catch me and make more money.” The wise fisherman replies, “ I will not give up a certain profit for one that doesn’t exist yet.” Moral: Do not forgo a certain gain for an uncertain profit.
