The Fishermen and the Little Fish

Some Fishermen caught a small Fish. The Fish said, “Please let me go! I’m too small now. If you release me, I’ll grow bigger and be worth more later.”

The Fishermen replied, “Better a small fish in hand than a big one that might never come.”

Moral: It’s wiser to accept small, certain gains than risk everything for bigger, uncertain rewards.
