The Fisherman and The Little Barracuda
漁夫和小梭魚
The fisherman casts the net into the sea and catches a little barracuda. The pitiful fish asks the fisherman to release it.
漁夫把網撒到海里,捕到了一條小梭魚。那可憐的小魚求漁夫放了它。
I am still young. He says: If you catch me after I am an adult, it is better for you.
他說:我還太小。他又說:如果你把我放了,等我長大后再來抓我,那對你會有更大的好處!
The fisherman says: If I give up the present small profit to seek an uncertain future large one, am I not a fool?
漁夫說:如果我現在放棄手上已經得到的小利而去追求那些虛無渺茫的大利,那我豈不成了傻子了嗎?
This story means: Only a foolish man will give up the litter profit which he has and seek uncertain future large profits.
這個故事說明,愚蠢的人才會放棄已到手的小利,而去追求那些虛無的大利。
