2019年小學英語晨讀練習：《漁夫和他的妻子》

　　旁白：Long ago， there were a fisherman and his wife who lived by seaside. They lived in a shabby house. One day， the fisherman went to the sea and started to cast the net.At the first three times， he didn’t catch any fish.

　　漁夫：If I can’t catch any fish this time， I shall go home.

　　旁白：Then he did his last try. Then he caught one. This fish is not the normal fish. It’s a golden fish.

　　漁夫：Oh， look！ A golden fish！

　　金魚：Wait， wait！ Could you please let me go？

　　漁夫：Oh God！ You can talk？

　　金魚：Yes， I’m a magic fish. I can talk as human. If you let me go， I can give you what you want.

　　旁白：The old man was surprised， because he had never seen a fish that can talk. He let the fish go and said...

　　漁夫：God bless you， my dear fish！ I don’t want anything， just go and enjoy your freedom in the sea！

　　旁白：The fisherman went back and told his wife about the whole thing.

　　漁夫：I caught a golden fish today. She’s not a normal fish. She could talk like human！ She asked me to let her go and she could give me anything I want. But I don’t dare to ask anything.

　　妻子：How fool you are！ How can you let her go like that？ You can ask a wooden basin at least. Ours is broken already.

　　旁白：Thereupon， the fisherman went to the seaside and shouted.

　　漁夫：Gold fish！ Gold fish！！ Where are you？

　　金魚：What can I do for you， sir？

　　漁夫：Please do me a favor. My wife wants a wooden basin. Ours is broken badly.

　　金魚：OK. You’ll have a new basin soon.

　　旁白：When the fisherman went back home， he found a new basin in her house. However， his wife became angrier.

　　妻子：How stupid you are！ The wooden basin is worthless. Go back to the golden fish and ask a wooden house！

　　旁白：Then the fisherman went to the seaside again. The golden fish swam to him and asked.

　　金魚：What can I do for you， sir？

　　漁夫：It’s my wife. She wants a wooden house.

　　金魚：OK. You’ll get a new house then.

　　旁白：The fisherman went back home. He found there was a new house standing there. His wife sat under the window， shouted...

　　妻子：You are totally a stupid old man！ I want to be a queen！

　　旁白：The fisherman went to the fish again and told golden fish that his wife wanted to be a queen and wanted a lot of servants. The fish agreed. When he came back home， his wife still wasn’t satisfied.

　　妻子：Go back and tell the fish！ I want to be the queen of the ocean and that fish to be my servant！

　　旁白：The fisherman went to the sea.

　　金魚：What now？ What does she want？

　　漁夫：It’s... my wife... she... she... wants to be the queen of the sea... and... and she wants you to be... to be... her ser...servant.

　　旁白：After hearing this， the golden fish said nothing and went back to the sea immediately. The fisherman waited and waited. The gold fish never came back. The fisherman went home， only to find everything is back to where it was before.
