The Fish I didn't catch had an important moral, " Never brag of your fish before you catch him" meaning we shouldn't boast about somthing that is undone, for example, say someone is sure that he is will get this good job, but not yet. He tells everyone about it and everyone was happy for him, some even envy him even tho he didn't get it yet. But then later on he realised someone had a better interview then him and he didn't end up with the job. Now the effect of this is that people went from envying him to pitting him instead, and it wouldn't have happended if he didn't tell everyone about the job. I know you probably already took the test but i mean... y'know.. for other people who looks at this :)
