There was an old man named Chu. He was well over sixty. He had done many good things throughout his life. In the old days， transportation was very difficult. He donated money to have roads made and bridges built so people could get around more easily. People in need could always count on him for a hand-out. His neighbors had many good things to say about him.

　　從前有個60多歲的老人，姓楚。他一生中做了很多好事。那時候，交通極不便利。于是他捐錢造橋修路，方便百姓。他還經常伸出援手助人之需。鄰人對他的善行贊不絕口。

　　One day he saw a fisherman on his way to the market to sell a carp he had caught. This beautiful fish had red markings as bright and warm as a fire in the winter. Its eyes were as shiny as stars in the sky. Old Chu thought it would be a shame to eat such a beautiful fish， so he bought the carp for a good price and put it in a pond. He felt very good about that.

　　有一天，他看到一個漁夫正在去集市的路上，準備把剛剛捕獲的鯉魚賣掉。這條魚非常漂亮，它的紅色的`斑紋就像冬日的火焰一樣明亮溫暖，眼睛就像天上閃爍的星辰。老楚覺得把這么美麗的魚吃掉太悲慘了，于是他高價買下魚，把它放到池塘。他對此頗感欣慰。

　　But Chu was an old man， and nobody lives forever. Not long after that， he felt weak， giddy， and despondent. He thought he might not live much longer.
