The Fisherman and the Little Fish
阅读 : 次
A FISHERMAN who lived on the produce of his nets,one day caught a single small Fish as the result of his day‘s labor. The Fish,panting convulsively,thus entreated for his life:“O Sir,whatgood can I be to you,and how little am I worth?I am not yet come to my full size. Pray spare my life,and put me back into the sea. I shall soon become a large fish fit for the tables of the rich,and then you can catch me again,and make a handsome profit of me.”The Fisherman replied,“I should indeed be a very simple fellow if,for the chance of a greater uncertain profit,Iwere to forego my present certain gain.”
