Drain the Pond to Get all the Fish

Reason for discount: Very minor wrinkle/waviness.

This is a Chinese proverb that is similar to "Kill the goose that lays the golden eggs". Basically, you can catch fish from the pond one-by-one and day-by-day and get some fish forever. Or, you can drain the pond and get all the fish in one day. But then never get fish from that pond again.

This teaches patience and to avoid greedy behavior.
