英语翻译
Once there was a king.He never ate a meal unless there was a dish of fish with it.But one day a big storm stopped the fishermen from going to catch fish.The king ordered his servant to tell everybody that if anyone brought him a fish,he would give him anything that he asked for.
At last,a fisherman caught a big fish and hurried to the king’s palace.But the king’s prime minister would not let him in until he promised to give him half of whatever the king gave him.The king was very happy and he asked the fisherman what he wanted To his surprised.the fisherman said,“I want you to beat me two dozen times with a stick.”When the king began to beat him softly,the fisherman said,“No,please hit me as hard as you can!”
After the king had hit him a dozen times,the fisherman jumped away and said,“That is enough for me.I promised the other dozen to your prime minister!” Then he told the king what had happened.The king was very angry.He not only gave the prime minister a dozen hits,but also said,“Because you have been dishonest,you will not be my prime minister any more!The fisherman will take your place.
我不明白这篇表啥意图

Answer 1

国王想吃鱼,但是暴风雨使得渔夫打不到渔,于是国王悬赏,谁能给他鱼吃,就可以满足那个人想要的东西.有一个渔夫打到了鱼,但是国王的首席大臣起了贪念,他不让那个人进宫,除非渔夫把得到的奖赏分给他一半.那个人答应了,而他想要的奖赏是,让国王打他40大板.国王很惊讶,于是很柔软的打他.然而渔夫却说打得越狠越好.打完20板后,渔夫向国王说明了原因,真相大白,国王很生气,他不仅打了那个大臣,还将其革职.
这个故事告诉我们,不要觊觎别人的东西.很老的一个故事.
