从前,在一条湖中住着三只大鱼。我们分别叫他们老大、老二、老三,他们是亲密的朋友,但各自性格特点却截然不同。
鱼老大非常明智。他做事情都是经过仔细的思考再行动,并且总能做对所有的事情。
鱼老二非常开朗,聪明和机智。凡是遇到问题,他总能始终竭尽全力找到解决方法。
鱼老三相信命运。他总是相信,所有的事情都是命中注定的,无论发生什么,都没有人能改变命运。
有一天,他们在岸边的水流中嬉戏玩耍的时候,明智的鱼老大偷听到一位渔夫告诉另一位渔夫:这个湖里满是大鱼。我们明天一起到这里来打鱼吧!
听到这些,鱼老大立即就冲向他的朋友们,并告诉他们他所听到的一切。
“我们被渔民盯上了,很危险,我们一起越过河道离开这个湖,去另一个湖安家吧!”他说。
足智多谋的鱼老二说,我不会离开这个湖的。我就在这里,哪里也不去,就算渔民抓到我,我也会用我聪明的脑袋,找到方法来解救自己。
相信命运鱼老三说,我一生都住在这个湖里,我也不会离开它。无论如何,都会如此。如果我被抓,也是命中注定,我就顺其自然吧。
明智的鱼老大不想和他们冒险,所以就一个人越过河堤去了另一个湖。
第二天早上,渔民们来撒网。鱼老二、鱼老三都被网捕了。机智的鱼老二想到了出路。他躺在那里,翻起白眼,假装死了。渔民以为他是一条死鱼,就把他扔进了水里,鱼老二就这样逃脱了。
相信命运的鱼老三在网中四处游荡,不知所措。结果被一位渔民捞上来打死了。
故事寓意:一个不适应变化的人往往会灭亡。
英文版如下:
Once upon a time, there lived three big fish in a lake. They were close friends, but characteristically very different.
The first one was very wise. He always did everything after careful thought.
The second one was very cheerful, intelligent and resourceful. He would always use his brains to find a solution for any problem.
The third one believed in fate. He believed that whatever was to happen would happen and nobody could change it.
One day while playing in the water near the shore, the wise fish overheard a fisherman telling another fisherman, This lake is full of good fish. Let us come back here tomorrow for fishing.
Hearing this the fish rushed to his friends and told them all he had overheard. “Let us leave this lake through this canal and go to another lake; he said.
The resourceful fish said, I will not leave the lake. When the fishermen come, I will find a way to save myself. ;
The third fish said, I have lived in this lake all my life and will not leave it. Whatever will be, will be. ;
The wise one did not want to take risks and left for the other lake.
The next morning the fishermen came and cast their net. The two friends were caught in the net. The resourceful fish thought of a way out. He lay still and pretended to be dead. The fishermen threw him out into the water.
The fish who believed in fate kept flipping around in the net. One of the fishermen struck him dead.
One who does not adapt to change often perishes.
