The Fisherman and The Little Fish

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.
