An octopus(章鱼) sticks to everything she meets. One day she saw an anchor at the end of the chain(链条) of a boat. She stuck to it. Soon she dropped into the deep ocean with the anchor. It was cold, dark and terrible down there. She was frightened and didn't know what to do. The octopus asked for help. Luckily a fish came and said to her, "To save yourself, you must first let go of (放开) the anchor. Then I can show you a way out."

"No, I can't. If I do that, I'll die," cried the octopus. "Then I can't help you," said the fish. After a short silence(沉默), the octopus took great courage to change her mind. She let go of the anchor. Then the fish began to swim and make his way up. The little octopus followed him. Soon, the water became brighter and warmer. The octopus came back home again.

Life is like this. If you want to go on, you should have the courage to give up something.
