I’m too beautiful, he thought. 但是他从来不和其它鱼儿玩。我太美丽了，他暗想。 Once, a little blue fish asked for one of his shining scales, but the Rainbow fish just laughed. “Never!” he said. 有一次，一只蓝色的小鱼向他要一片闪闪发光的鳞片，但是彩虹鱼却嘲笑道，“绝对不可能！” After that, the other fish swam away from him. The Rainbow Fish was all alone. 从此以后，其它鱼儿都离他远远的。彩虹鱼一直形单影只。 He went to the starfish for help. “Why doesn’t anybody like me?” he asked. 他去找海星想办法。“为什么没有人喜欢我？”他问道。 “Go ask the Octopus,” said the starfish. “She is very wise”. “去问章鱼吧，”海星说, “她非常睿智。” The octopus said, “Give away your shining scales. You won’t be as beautiful, but you will have friends.” 章鱼说，“把你闪闪发光的鱼鳞都送出去。你不会向像这样美丽了，但是你会有朋友。” “I can’t do that!” cried the Rainbow Fish. “我不能这样做！”彩虹鱼大叫道。 Suddenly, the little blue fish was back. “Please,” he said. “Could I have just one scale?” 突然，那只蓝色小鱼回来了。“求你了，”他说。“我只想要一片鱼鳞，你能给我吗？” Well, the Rainbow Fish thought. Maybe just one tiny little scale. The little blue fish was so pleased, it made the Rainbow Fish feel happy. 好吧，彩虹鱼想了想，也许不过是一小片鱼鳞而已。（拿到了鱼鳞后）蓝色小鱼非常高兴，这让彩虹鱼也很开心。 Soon all the fish came, and the Rainbow Fish gave away his scales, one by one. Finally he had only one shinning scale left. But now, as he swam off to play with his friends, he was the happiest fish in the sea. 很快所有的鱼都来了，而彩虹鱼把他所有的鳞片都分了出去，一片接一片地。但是现在，他和朋友们一起玩耍，是海洋里最快乐的鱼了。
