The Fisher and the Little Fish
It happened that a fisher, after fishing all day, caught only a little fish.
"Pray, let me go, master," said the Fish. "I am much too small for your eating just now. If you put me back into the river I shall soon grow, then you can make a fine meal off me."
"Nay, nay, my little Fish," said the Fisher, "I have you now. I may not catch you hereafter."
A little thing in hand is worth more than a great thing in prospect.

This reminds me of all the game shows I watched as a kid. "Okayyy Julie, you have the $25,000. Do you want to keep playing and risk it all for the $100,000 and the gold plated SUV?"
