一yī个gè渔yú夫fū网上wǎng shàng来lái一yī条tiáo小xiǎo鲱fēi鱼yú。

A fisherman netted a tiny sprat.

小xiǎo鲱fēi鱼yú说shuō：我wǒ这么zhè me小xiǎo，不够bù gòu你nǐ吃chī一yī口kǒu。放fàng了liǎo我wǒ，等děng我wǒ长zhǎng成chéng大dà鱼yú，再zài来lái找zhǎo你nǐ。

The sprat said: I'm too small for even a bite — let me go and catch me when I'm grown.

渔yú夫fū说shuō：如果rú guǒ我wǒ放fàng了liǎo你nǐ，你nǐ以后yǐ hòu才cái不bù会huì来lái找zhǎo我wǒ呢ne。

The fisherman said: if I let you go, you'll never come back to be caught.

已经yǐ jīng到dào手shǒu的de小xiǎo好处hǎo chu，比bǐ希望xī wàng中zhōng的de大dà好处hǎo chu更gèng实在shí zài。

A small good in hand beats a hoped-for big one.
