第9课 渔夫和他的妻子 导读提示 “知足者常乐”,这句话的真谛是:做人做事不要贪得无厌、不知满足,否则,无尽的贪欲最终会毁掉自己。 The Fisherman and His Wife Once, there was a fisherman. He had an ugly wife. They were poor. Oneday, the fisherman caught a goldfish. But the goldfish could talk, “Please let me go! I’ll reward you!” “OK, my God!” cried the fisherman, “Don’t worry, I have no wish to eat a talking fish.” So he put it into the water. The fisherman went home and told his wife about it. She became very angry. “How foolish you are!” she said, “Look at the hut! Go back to the sea and tell the fish to give me a cottage.” So the fisherman went down to the beach. “What’s the matter?” asked the fish. “My wife wants a cottage.” said the fisherman. “Don’t worry, she will have it.” So the fisherman’s wife had her cottage. But after a few days, she became tired of it. “Tell the fish to give me a palace.” she said. Then the fisherman went back to the beach again. And the fisherman’s wife had her palace. But she soon got tired of it,too. “Ask the fish to be my servant, and I want to be a queen.” This time, the fish got angry. It said nothing and swam away. The fisherman waited and waited, but the goldfish didn’t comeback. When he went home, he found his wife back in their old hut.
