The Fisherman and the Little Fish (1)

漁夫和小魚 (1)

There once was a fisherman who lived in a little house by the ocean. He fished every day to feed his family. One day, he caught nothing except one small fish. "This isn't much," thought the fisherman, "but it's better than nothing."

The little fish flopped around in the net and cried out to the fisherman. "Please return me to the water!" he said. "I'm too small to be a good dinner. Someday, I'll be big and fat. You could catch me then and feed your family for a week!"

從前有個漁夫，他住在海邊的小屋子，每天捕魚來養家。一天，除了一條小魚，他什麼都沒抓到。漁夫心想：「這不多，但是總比沒有好。」

小魚在網子裡翻動並對著漁夫叫喊。牠說：「拜託把我放回水裡！我還太小，不是一頓好的晚餐。總有一天，我會變得又大又肥，那時候你再來抓我，就足夠養活你的家人一個星期！」


fisherman	n.	漁夫

flop	v.	翻動 (flop-flopped-flopped)

return	v.	送回；歸還
