|
|
There once was a proud heron. She thought she was the wisest and most beautiful heron in the world. |
|
|
One morning, she stood beside a stream and looked into the water. She wanted to have a big, fat fish for breakfast. "There are a lot of fish here," she said, "but they're too small for me. I deserve only the biggest and the best!" |
|
|
Just then, a bigger fish swam near the shore, but the heron still wasn't interested. "I wouldn't bother to open my beak for such a small fish!" she said. |

|
|
|
就在那時,一條較大的魚游近河岸,但是蒼鷺依舊不感興趣。她說:「我可不會費心為了這樣一條小魚張開嘴巴!」 |
