The Fish I didn't Catch
I still remember my first fishing experience as if it were but yesterday. I have been many times in my life (like when I got admitted to the best school), but never more intensely sothan when I received that first fishing from my uncle.
My uncle, who knew by long where pickerel(梭鱼)would gather, placed me at the most favorable point. I threw out my line and waited anxiously for a bite, the float up and down rapidly on the surface of the water. But nothing came of it. "Try again," said my uncle. Suddenly the float out of sight. "Now for it," thought I; "here is a fish at last."
I made a strong pull, only to bring up a tangle of weeds. Again and again I cast out my line with aching arms, and drew it back empty. I looked at my uncle ."Try once more," hesaid;"we fishermen must have
Suddenly something tugged at my line, and swept off with it into deep water. Pulling it up quickly, I saw a fine pickerel wriggling in the sun. "Uncle!”I cried, looking back in uncontrollable , "I've got a fish!”"Not yet," said my uncle. Just then, I saw the scared fish shooting into the middle of the stream, my hook hung from the line. I had lost my prize.
My heart sank with it and I felt like a failure. We tend to speak of the of childhood as matters of little importance those of grown-ups. Controlled by reason and self-respect, the sorrows of grown-ups the social customs and rules of conduct the sorrows of childhood are a complete abandonment to the passion. The doll's nose is broken, and the whole world with it.
So, overcome with my bitter disappointment, I refused to be ,even by my uncle's guarantee that there were more fish in the river. He refitted my bait, and, putting the pole again in my hands, told me to try my luck once more.
"But remember, boy," he said, with a smile, "it's no use to boast of(自夸)anything before it's done, nor then, either, it speaks for itself."
How often I have been reminded of the fish that I did not catch !When I hear people talking about their distant aims as if they had already been achieved, I call to mind that by the riverside, and the wise caution of my uncle takes the form of a proverb of application: "NEVER BOAST OF YOUR FISH BEFORE YOU CATCH HIM."
