Wise Fisherman Chooses Large
Open in the reader →1And he said, "The human is like a wise fisherman who cast his net into the sea. He drew it up from the sea full of small fish. Among them, the wise fisherman found a large, fine fish. He threw all the small fish back down into the sea; he chose the large fish without difficulty. Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear."
