My name is Pengchao.

 One day, two fishermen fished in a pond (池塘). Both of them were looking forward to getting a big catch. 

 The first fisherman caught a big and beautiful fish within a few minutes. He was very happy. 

He put the fish in his icebox. He would cook it in the afternoon. 

 Soon, the second fisherman also caught a large fish. Surprisingly, he threw it back into the pond. Later, he caught many more big fish, only to throw them back into the water again. 

 The first fisherman was surprised. "Why are you throwing the fish back into the water? They were beautiful and big!"

 The second fisherman answered, "I know they were big, but I don't have a big enough pan(平底锅) to cook big fish! So I'm looking for a smaller fish that fits my cooking pan. "

 The first fisherman was surprised by the answer. He told the second fisherman that he could just cut the big fish into smaller pieces to fit them into the small pan. 

 Many of us are just like the second fisherman. We don't think carefully and this sometimes causes us to lose opportunities (机会).
