Once upon a time, there lived a poor fisherman who made his living by casting his net into the sea every day. One day, as he was pulling up his net, he found a tiny fish caught in it. The little fish was not much bigger than a minnow, and the fisherman stared at it in disappointment.
The little fish, frightened and desperate, pleaded with the fisherman, "Please, kind sir, spare my life! If you let me go back to the sea, I promise that one day I will grow big and strong, and you can catch me again when I am much more valuable to you."
The fisherman looked at the small, helpless creature in his hand, and considered the little fish's plea. However, he shook his head and replied, "No, little fish, I have caught you now, and I cannot let you go. It is better to have you in my hand now, than to hope for a larger fish in the future that may never come."
And with that, the fisherman placed the little fish in his basket and took it home with him.
There is a fisherman. He is poor. Every day, he puts his net in the sea. He wants to catch fish.
One day, he catches a small fish. The fisherman feels sad because the fish is so tiny.
The little fish is scared. It talks to the fisherman. It says, "Please let me go. I will grow big. Then, you can catch me again. I will be useful to you."
The fisherman thinks. Then he says, "No, little fish. You are in my net now. I will not let you go. It is better to have you now than to wait."
The fisherman takes the little fish home in his basket.
Once upon a time, in a small village by the sea, there lived a fisherman who didn't have much money. Every day, he would go to the sea and throw his net into the water to catch fish. One day, when he was pulling his net back, he saw a very tiny fish caught in it. This fish was really small, almost like a baby fish, and the fisherman felt a bit sad looking at it.
The tiny fish was scared and started to speak to the fisherman, "Please, kind fisherman, let me go back into the sea! I am too small now, but I promise if you let me go, I will grow big and strong. Then, you can catch me again, and I will be worth a lot more to you."
The fisherman looked at the small fish in his hand and thought about what it said. But then, he shook his head and said, "No, little fish. I have you right now, and I can't let you go. It's better to have something small now than to wait for something bigger that might not happen."
So, the fisherman put the tiny fish in his basket and took it home.
Once upon a time, in a big, big ocean that was like the world's biggest bathtub but without the rubber ducks, there was a fisherman. This guy was having a rough time. Seriously, if fishing was a game, he was still waiting to score his first point.
So, this one day, our fisherman throws his net into the water, thinking, "This is it! Tonight, we feast!" He pulls up his net and feels something heavy. "Yes! Dinner time!" he thinks. But what does he find? Not a big fish, not even a medium one, but this teeny-tiny little fish. I mean, this fish was so small, it could have been a goldfish’s baby cousin.
The little fish starts shaking like he’s dancing and says, "Hey, hey, hold up! You don't want to eat me. I'm like a tiny snack. Let me go, and I promise, I’ll get big and strong. Think of me as the superhero of fish. Catch me later, and it'll be worth the wait!"
The fisherman looks at the little fish and laughs. "Superhero of fish, you say? What’s next? Are you gonna wear a cape and save other fish from bad guys?"
The little fish tries to look serious, which is hard because, well, he’s a fish. "No capes, but I promise I’ll grow big enough to make a really good dinner!"
The fisherman chuckles. "You're funny, but you know what they say—a tiny fish today is better than maybe, possibly, perhaps a big fish tomorrow."
The Little Fish flaps his fins and rolls his eyes, "So, you’re Mr. Wise Fisherman now? What's next, are you gonna write a book about life lessons?"
"Nah," says the fisherman, "you’ll just have to be the star of today's dinner story."
And with that, the fisherman puts the little fish in his basket, singing a happy tune as he walks home. It's sorta like "Under the Sea," but without the singing lobsters and more just one man and his fish.
A fisherman, so humble, with nets wide and vast,
Searched the deep waters, hoping for a catch at last.
To his surprise, what could it be?
A tiny fish, as small as a pea!
The wee fish trembled, eyes glistening bright,
"Dear sir," it whispered, "I'm not a good bite.
Let me swim free, grow big in the sea,
Then catch me later, a treat I will be!"
Gazing at the fish, so tiny and sleek,
The fisherman pondered the promise it did speak.
"No, little one, I can't take that bet,
A bird in the hand is a sure safe bet."
Into the basket, the fish went with a sigh,
The fisherman walked home, looking at the sky.
A day like others, his catch was quite small,
But in that moment, he felt ten feet tall.
