    A poor Fisherman, who lived on the fish he caught, had bad luck one day and caught nothing but
    a very small fry. The Fisherman was about to put it in his basket when the little Fish said:
    Please spare me, Mr. Fisherman! I am so small it is not worth while to carry me home. When I
    am bigger, I shall make you a much better meal.
    But the Fisherman quickly put the fish into his basket.
    How foolish I should be, he said, to throw you back. However small you may be, you are
    better than nothing at all.
    MORAL: A small gain is worth more than a large promise.
