找朋友

張亞榮

[英語原文]

Sam is a little fish. He lives in the sea. He is very lonely. He wants to have a friend. The friend looks like him. Sam sees an ink fish. The ink fish has eight legs. He doesnt look like Sam. So Sam goes away. Sam meets a shark. He wants to say hello to the shark. The shark opens his big mouth. Sam runs away quickly. Sam is tired and hungry. He wants to have a rest. Then he sees a round fish. She says to him：“Hello！Would you like to be m y f r i e n d？”S a m answers：“Of course！ But you are round. I am flat.” The round fish says：“But we are both fishes.” Sam thinks and says：“You are right. Lets be friends.” They become good friends.

[漢語翻譯]

塞姆是一條小魚，他生活在海里。他很孤獨，想要找一個朋友，那個朋友看起來要像他。塞姆看見一條墨魚。墨魚有8條腿，看上去不像塞姆。因此塞姆游走了。塞姆遇見一條鯊魚。他想跟鯊魚問好。鯊魚張開大嘴，塞姆迅速地逃走了。塞姆又累又餓，它要休息一會兒。這時，他看見一條圓魚，圓魚對他說：“你好！你愿意做我的朋友嗎？”塞姆回答：“好哇！可你是圓形的，我是扁的。”圓魚說：“但是我們倆都是魚啊！” 塞姆思考后說：“你說得對，讓我們做朋友吧！”他們就成為好朋友了。

“世界上沒有長得一樣的兩片樹葉，也沒有兩個長得一模一樣的人。要想找到看上去與自己一樣的人做朋友，太難了。”這是小魚塞姆悟出來的道理。
