Question

【题目】 Once upon a time, two hungry people received gifts from an old man. One received a fishing rod(竿), while the other got a basket of fresh fish. Then, they left separately.

The person who got the fish built a fire and cooked the fish. The fish was delicious and he enjoyed his meal. He quickly finished all of the fish. Soon, he starved(挨饿) to death, as he had nothing left to eat. What about the other person? The person with the fishing rod was still hungry.

He walked to the beach step by step, but was too tired to get fishing by the time he got there. He also starved to death.

There were two more hungry people who also had received a fishing rod and a basket of fish from the old man. They received the same things that the first pair of people had, but they didn’t go their own separate ways. They agreed to find the sea together. At first, they just cooked one fish at a time as they traveled. Then, they arrived at the sea. They started to take turns fishing. Over time, they caught many fish and started their own fishing business. Both of them lived happy and healthy lives.
