The Fisherman and the Golden Fish｜渔夫和金鱼

原著作者｜亚历山大·普希金 By the blue sea  lived an old couple in a poor mud hut They had stayed there together  for thirty-three years The fisherman went fishing  while his wife stayed to spin One day  he cast his net twice  but found only mud The third time  he caught a tiny shining golden fish The fish spoke in a human voice  trembling and begging Kind man  please let me go  I will give you a great reward The fisherman was shocked  for he had never heard a fish speak He asked for nothing  and gently put it back into the water God be with you  little fish  I need nothing from you He went home  and told his wife about this miracle But the old woman pointed at the broken basin  and cursed him You fool  You should have asked for a new washbasin at least The fisherman went to the sea  and the water was soft blue The fish granted his wish  and she got a new basin But soon  she kicked it away and demanded a big wooden house The fisherman went back to the sea  which was now a bit green The fish agreed  and a beautiful house appeared in the yard Then the woman wanted more  desiring to be a noble lady The fisherman went to the sea  and the water turned dark and cloudy She lived in a grand stone house  and even struck the poor old man A few days later  she shouted to be the Queen of the land The fisherman walked back  The sea was grey and the waves rolled The fish agreed again  and she wore a heavy gold crown Finally  she wanted to rule the sea and make the fish her servant The man knelt by the shore  The sea was black and the storm roared The fish came  said nothing  and vanished into the deep The fisherman waited a long time  until the waves washed everything away When he walked home  the palace and the guards were gone Only the poor mud hut  stood there in the wind The woman sat by the door  with the old broken basin The sea became calm  as if nothing had ever happened Greed is like a bubble  that grows until it finally bursts前往小宇宙评论区与主播互动
