18. 化成鱼形的龙

dragon in disguise

从前，有个60多岁的楚姓老人。他一生做了很多好事。那时候，交通极不便利。于是他捐钱造桥修路，方便百姓。他还经常伸出援手助人之需。邻人对他的善行赞不绝口。　　

　　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.

有一天，他看到一个渔夫正在去集市的路上，准备把刚刚捕获的鲤鱼卖掉。这条鱼非常漂亮，它的红色斑纹就像冬日的火焰一样明亮温暖，眼睛就像天上闪烁的星辰。老楚觉得把这么美丽的鱼吃掉太可惜了，于是他以高价买下鱼，把它放到池塘里。他对此颇感欣慰。
