The Little Cat Sow the Fish
小花猫种鱼
The little cat liked eating fish very much, and she never satisfied. She always thought that if I could turn one fish into a lot of fish, it would be great!
小花猫最喜欢吃鱼，怎么吃都吃不够。她总是想：要是能把一条鱼变成许多许多条，那该多好啊!
One day, she heard that the little rooster planted a few sunflower seed in spring, and when autumn arrived, he received thousands of sunflower seed. After hearing the news, the little cat was delighted. The little cat hurried to find the rooster and asked him to teach her the good way to create this miracle.
有一天，她听说小公鸡在春天种下几粒葵花籽，到了秋天居然收获了几千粒葵花子。听到这个消息后，小花猫高兴极了。小花猫赶紧去找小公鸡，打算向他请教一下创造这个奇迹的好办法。
"Everything can be grown in the soil, and if you plant it in the spring, you fertilize it on time and you can harvest a lot in the fall." the rooster told the little cat.
小公鸡告诉小花猫说：“万物都可以在土中生长的，如果春天播种，按时浇水施肥，秋天就可以收获很多啦。”
In the spring of the following year, the little cat dug a big hole in her own yard and planted a big, fat fish. Every day, she water and fertilize it. She was always thinking:"I've got a lot of fish, I'm gonna make a lot of fish."
第二年的春天，小花猫在自家的院子里挖了一个大坑，它种下了一条又肥又大的鱼。小花猫每天都乐滋滋地给它浇水施肥。她心里想啊：我这么用心，我种的鱼，一定能结出好多的鱼来。
In the fall, the little cat prepared a large number of baskets, and came rushing to harvest fish. But she had been digging on the ground for half a day, and there's nothing to dig out except a few fish sticks. The little cat threw a shovel to the ground and said angrily:"Well, the little rooster is bad, he's lying to me!"
秋天到了，小花猫准备了很多很多的大箩筐，它兴冲冲地来收获鱼了。可是，她在地上挖了好半天，除了几根鱼刺之外，什么也没有挖到。小花猫把铁锹往地上一扔，它生气地说：“哼，小公鸡真坏，他在骗我!”
At this point, uncle goat passed by. Knowing about the cat species, he laughed and said:"Fish are living in the water. How did you grow fish in the ground? If you want eat more fish, you should go fishing by the river."
这时，山羊伯伯从这里路过，知道小猫种鱼的事情后，笑着说道：“鱼是在水里生活的，种在土里怎么可能变多呢，想吃鱼就去河边钓鱼吧。”

少年时候，他强悍好斗是乡里的一大祸患。
At the time, there was a ferocious dragon in the river and a fierce tiger in the mountain in Yixing, which often injured and devoured people.
当时，义兴河里有一条凶恶的蛟龙，山上有一头猛虎，经常残害百姓。
Therefore, the people classed them together with Zhou Chu as "the three evils".Among them, Zhou Chu did the most harm.
因此，人们把它们和周处并称为“三害”。其中，周处为害最大。
Later, someone instigated Zhou Chu to go to the mountain to kill the fierce tiger, and to the river to behead the ferocious dragon, in the hope of getting rid of two evils, leaving only one.
后来，有人鼓动周处进山杀猛虎，入河斩蛟龙，希望能除去两害，只留一害。

Lu Yun encouraged him by saying:"The ancients would be gratified even if they came to thoroughly understand the truth in the early morning but died at night, let alone you with a promising future.
陆云勉励他说:“古人清晨通晓事理，即使夜晚死去都感到欣慰，何况你的前程远大。
Besides, so far as a man is concerned, the fearful thing is to have no aspiration.
