清晨，一个人过小桥时看到有个渔夫在荫凉的河岸上钓鱼，下面水静流深，他停下来静静观望。 几分钟后，渔夫抬起钓竿，钓上来一条大肥鱼。 渔夫把鱼从鱼钩上解下来扔回水里，然后把鱼钩和线重新放回了水里。几分钟后又钓到了一条大鱼，和上次一样，他又把鱼扔回了水里。第三次钓了一条小鱼，他把鱼放到篮子里就收拾准备回去了。桥上的人很好奇，就问渔夫：“你为 什么把大鱼都扔掉，只留一条小鱼呢？"渔夫抬起头回答：“煎锅太小了。” Small Frying-Pan One morning a man was crossing a narrow bridge when he saw a fisherman on the shady bank of the deep, smooth river under him, so he stopped to watch him quietly. After a few minutes, the fisherman pulled his line in. There was a big, fat fish at the end of it. The fisherman took it off the hook and threw it back into the water. Then he put his hook and line in again. After a few more minutes he caught another big fish. Again he threw it back into the river. Then, the third time, he caught a small fish. He put it into his basket and started to get ready to go. The man on the bridge was very surprised, so he spoke to the fisherman. He said, "Why did you throw those beautiful, big fish back into the water and keep only that small one?” The fisherman looked up and answered, "Small frying-pan.” " |
