The Fisherman and the little fish 渔夫和小鱼
There once was a fisherman who lived in a little house by the ocean. 从前有一个渔夫住在海边的小屋里。
He fished every day to feed his family. 他每天打渔来养活家人。One day, he caught nothing except one small fish. 有一天他只抓到了一条小鱼。"This isn't much," thought the fisherman, "but it's better than nothing." ”这并不算多。“渔夫想:”但是比什么都没来的好。“
The little fish hopped 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!" 小鱼在网里蹦来蹦去哭着对渔夫说:”请把我放回水里去吧!“他说,:”我太小了不能成为一顿很好的晚餐。未来的某一天,我会变得又大又肥。你可以那时候再抓我,你的家人可以吃上一整个礼拜。“
The fisherman listened as the fish spoke. He knew his family would love a big, fat fish.这个渔夫听小鱼讲完。他知道他的家人也一定喜欢一条又大又肥的鱼。
But he also knew that the ocean was very big. If he threw the fish back, he would never find it again. 但是他也知道大海非常的大。如果他把这条鱼放回去,他将永远都找不到他。
"Little fish," he said, "I would be a fool to put you back. You'll only be a small meal for my family, but at least they will have food. I cannot feed them with silly dreams!" ”小鱼啊“他说:”我如果把你放回去我就太蠢了。你虽然只能成为我家人很小的一餐,但是至少他们会有失误。我不能用愚蠢的梦想来喂饱他们。“
Appreciate the small things that you have. Don't give them up to chase impossible things.珍惜你现有的小小的东西。不要为了追逐不可能的东西而放弃他们。
