Next to the woods, there is a small river with clear water flowing and many fish swimming around in it. On this side of the woods, there is a small wooden house, in which lives the mother cat and her child.

  One morning, when the weather was fine, the mother woke up the kitten and said, "Mimi, get up, the sun has risen, and the mother will take you to the river today and teach you the art of fishing." "Meow, meow, I'll go, I'll go," exclaimed the kitten, jumping up with joy.

  The mother cat and the kitten, armed with fishing gear and bait, walked happily toward the creek. When they arrived at the river, the mother cat said to the kitten affectionately, "You must study hard if you want to fish. Look, there is a line hanging from that end of the fishing pole, a hook at the lower end of the line, a small worm hanging from the hook, and a buoy in the middle of the line."

  Saying that the mother cat held the fishing rod tightly and threw the hook out into the river, the hook soon sank into the water, but the buoy floated on the surface.

  "You must concentrate on fishing, keep your eyes on that buoy, if a fish comes to eat the small worm on the hook, it will drag the hook and pull the buoy into the water. At that point, you have to quickly and forcefully lift the rod and the fish is caught." The mother cat said softly.

  The kitten did as his mother said and sat down to fish by the river, his eyes on the buoy when a dragonfly came flying in, like a small plane flying around. The kitten was so happy to see it that he went to catch the dragonfly with his fishing rod, but the dragonfly flew away and the kitten returned empty-handed. At that time, the mother cat had already caught a big fish.

  The kitten sat by the river and fished again. While fishing, a flower butterfly flew in. The butterfly was so beautiful, flying around like dancing. The kitten quickly put down the fishing rod to catch the butterfly, the butterfly flew away, and the kitten went back to the river empty-handed and saw that the mother cat had caught a big fish again.

  "I'm so angry, how can I not even catch a small fish," said the kitten.

  "You have to be serious about fishing, you are so double-minded, catching dragonflies and butterflies later, it is strange that you can catch a fish!" The cat's mother said slowly.

  The kitten listened to his mother and began to focus on fishing.

  The dragonflies came again, and the butterflies also came, but the kitten did not see them and concentrated on the buoy. Suddenly, he saw the buoy on the surface of the water sinking, and quickly pulled the rod upward, and caught a big fish, which fell to the ground and "crackled": "I caught a big fish! I've caught a big fish!"

  When the sun went down, the mother cat and the kitten went home happily carrying the day's catch.

  The Fable of the Kitten Fishing Part 21

  Today I read the story "Kitten Fishing", which tells the story of a mother cat who took her kitten to the river to fish. The dragonfly flew away, and the kitten returned to the river and saw that his mother had caught a big fish. The kitten picked up the fishing rod and prepared to fish again when a butterfly flew in. This butterfly is really beautiful, the more the kitten sees the more he likes it, so he puts down the fishing rod and goes to catch the butterfly again. The butterfly was not caught, and the kitten returned to the river empty-handed. He saw that his mother had caught another big fish. The kitten asked his mother, "Why can't I catch a fish?" Mom said, "You have to be single-minded in fishing, you catch dragonflies and butterflies later, of course, you can't catch fish." The kitten listened to his mother and fished with single-mindedness, finally catching a big fish. This story tells us that we have to concentrate on what we are doing, and we can't be double-minded so that we can do things well.
