The Clever Fisherman
A fisherman(渔夫)went fishing,he sat down by a big river.That day,he was not lucky(幸运).Every time when he brought(bring~brought)up the net(网),there were no fish at all.At last,he said,“I’ll make a last(最后的)effort(努力)before I go home.It doesn’t matter if there aren’t any fish in it.But the last net he brought up was so heavy.The fisherman was very happy.He thought,“It must be a very big fish,so I’m lucky at last.It is not bad working a long time.”He looked into the net,there wasn’t a fish,but a pot(罐)in it.He took the pot from the net and looked at it.It was round,brown,not very big but heavy.What was it in the pot?Was there a fish in it?Was it only water?Were there any coins(钱币)?The fisherman wanted to open it and have a look.He thought that the pot would bring him luck.
When the fisherman opened the pot,smoke(烟)came out.In the smoke,a ghost(鬼怪)stood before him.The fisherman asked,“who are you?”The ghost said,“Hello,man,you’re not lucky to get me up from the river.I have been in the river for three hundred years.After the first hundred years,I said(say~said)I would give any man a lot of money it(如果)he got(get~got)me up from the river,but nobody(没有人)came(come~came).After the second hundred years,I said I would make a king(国王)of any man who got me up from the river,but nobody came.Then,I was very angry(生气).I said I wanted(want~wanted)the man who got me up from the river to die(死),beuause(因为)he let(let~let)me wait in the river so long.Now you got me up from the river,so,you must die.But,before you die,you may ask for something.”
The fisherman thought for some time and said,“Well,before I die,I want to see how the small pot can hold you.”
The ghost said,“OK,it’s easy.Look!”As soon as the fisherman saw the smoke go back into the pot,he closed the pot at once(立刻)and threw(throw~threw)it in the river.
一天,一个渔夫去捕鱼,他在一条大河边坐了下来。那天,他很不幸运。每次,他把网拉起来都没有捕着一条鱼。最后,他说:“我再做最后一次努力就回家,不管里面有没有鱼。”但是,当他拉起最后一网的时候,网非常沉。渔夫很高兴,他想:“肯定是一条大鱼,所以,我还是幸运的。看来捕鱼的时间长一点并不坏。”他看了看渔网,里面没有鱼,只有一个罐子。他拿起这只罐子看了看,罐子是圆的,褐色,它不太大,但是很重。罐子里是什么呢?里面有鱼吗?只是水吗?有没有钱币呢?渔夫想打开罐子看看里面。他想这个罐子可能会给他带来好运。
渔夫打开罐子,冒出一股烟,烟雾中,一个鬼怪站在渔夫面前。渔夫问:“你是谁?”鬼怪说:“你好,人,你把我从河里打起来,你的运气太坏。我在这条河里已经呆了300年了。第一个百年到了的时候,我说如果有人把我从河里打起来,我将给那个人很多钱。但是没有人来。第二个百年到了的时候,我说如果有人把我从河里打起来,我将让那个人成为国王。但是还没有人来。于是,我很生气,我说如果现在有人把我从河里打起来,我要那个人死,因为他让我在河里呆了那么长的时间。现在你把我从河里打起来了,你必须死。但是,在你死之前,你可以提出要求。”
渔夫想了一会儿说:“那么,在我死之前,我想看一看这个小罐是怎样装下你的。”
鬼怪说:“好,这很简单。请看!”
看见这股烟钻进罐里,渔夫立刻关紧罐子,把它投入河中。
