Geographic: Brussels; Belgium; Ancient Greece
Description: A fisherman had bad luck one day and caught nothing but a small fry. The fisherman was about to put it in his basket when the little fish said: Please spare me. I am so small it is not worth it to carry me home. I will make a much better meal when I am bigger. The fisherman quickly put the fish into his basket. I would be foolish to throw you back. However small you may be, you are better than nothing at all.
