A Fisherman had been fishing all day without catching anything. As evening fell he found a very small fish on the end of his line.
一个渔夫钓了一整天鱼，什么也没钓到。傍晚时分，他在钓鱼线上发现一条很小的鱼。
"Please spare me," squeaked the little fish,"Perhaps I am too small to make you a good meal for I am not fully grown yet. Why don't you throw me back into the river, Then, when I am bigger and worth eating you can come back and catch me again."
“请饶了我吧，”小鱼吱吱叫道，“也许我太小了，还没长大，还不能给你做顿好饭。你为什么不把我扔回河里，等我长大了，值得吃的时候，你再回来抓我。”
"No, no, " said the man, who was very hungry. "I am going to hold on to you now that I have caught you. If you once get back into the water you will take very good care not to come near me again and I shall have no supper now or later."
“不，不，”那人说，他非常饿，“既然我抓住你了，我就不放你。如果你一回到水里，你会非常小心，不会再靠近我，我现在或以后都没有晚饭吃了。”
Hold on to what you have.
抓住到手的东西不放。
