大鱼和小鱼The great fish and the little fish

　　A fisherman was drawing up a net which he had cast into the sea, full of all sorts  of fishes. The little fish escaped through the meshes¹ of the net, and got back into the deep water, but the great fish were all caught and hauled into the ship.

　　一个渔夫收回他撒在海里的网，网眼上挂满了各种各样的鱼儿。那些小鱼挤出网眼，逃之夭夭，而大鱼都成为渔夫网中的收获，被拖到了船上。

　　The insignificance² is often the cause of our safety.

　　微不足道往往是平安之道。
