小猫和妈妈一起去钓鱼。
A kitten went fishing with its mother.
一只蜻蜓飞来了,小猫就去捉蜻蜓;一只蝴蝶飞来了,小猫又去追蝴蝶。
A dragonfly flew past, and the kitten ran off to catch it; a butterfly flew past, and off it chased the butterfly.
结果,半天过去了,小猫一条鱼也没钓到。
Half a day went by, and the kitten had caught not a single fish.
猫妈妈说:钓鱼要一心一意,三心二意,怎么能钓到鱼呢?
Mother Cat said: fishing needs your whole heart. How can you catch fish with your mind in three places at once?
小猫听了,专心钓鱼,很快就钓到了一条大鱼。
The kitten listened, settled down to fish, and soon caught a big one.
