One day five fishermen go fishing. They are lucky. Each fisherman gets a big fish. “What a fine dinner we will have!” says one fisherman. “Now let’s go home.” “Are we all here? Let me count first,” says another. “One, two, three, four. Oh, no! One of us is missing!” “It cannot be!” says another. So he begins to count. “One, two, three, four. I see four fishermen too! One of us has drowned (溺死)!” All the fishermen are heartbroken. They cry and cry.
Just then a little girl comes by. “Why do you cry?” she asks them. “One fisherman is missing,” says one fisherman. “One, two, three, four,” he counts again. The little girl sees his mistake right away. The fisherman forgets to count himself. “Will you give me your fish if I find your friend?” she asks. “Yes! Yes!” they say.
“Now jump into the river one at a time,” the little girl tells them. “And I will count you.” The fishermen jump into the river one by one. One! Two! Three! Four! Five! “Five!” the fishermen shout, “We found our lost friend!” The fishermen give the little girl all their fish. They have no fish for dinner. But they are all together and happy again.
