When I was a little child, all my life was about playing. Occasionally, I heard about a story about a fishermen who found a big pearl from the deep sea. However, there was an small little stain on the surface, so he tried to cut a layer to make the pearl perfect, but after that the spot still exist. So he did it over and over, finally he lost the whole pearl.
It reminds me of the old time when I was trying to find the most beautiful shell on the beach. Firstly I found a colorful one,but I drop it, because I believe I could find a better one that no one has seen. As the sun goes down, I went home without any “treasure”.
Very funny story. You penny wise and pound-foolish.
