我要的是葫芦
——刘仲元

从前，有个人种了一棵葫芦。细长的葫芦藤上长满了绿叶，开出了几朵雪白的小花。花谢以后，藤上挂了几个葫芦。多么可爱的小葫芦哇！那个人每天都要去看几次。

有一天，他看见叶子上爬着一些蚜虫，心里想，有几个虫子怕什么！他盯着小葫芦自言自语地说：“我的小葫芦，快长啊，快长啊！长得赛过大南瓜才好呢！”

一个邻居看见了，对他说：“你别光盯着葫芦了，叶子上生了蚜虫，快治一治吧！”那个人感到很奇怪，说：“什么？叶子上的虫还用治？我要的是葫芦。”

没过几天，叶子上的蚜虫更多了。小葫芦慢慢地变黄了，一个一个都落了。




All I Want Is the Calabash

By Liu Zhongyuan

Once upon a time, a man planted a calabash vine.
The slender vine was covered with green leaves and bloomed several snow-white little flowers.
After the flowers faded, several calabashes hung on the vine.
What lovely little calabashes! The man went to check them many times every day.

One day, he found some aphids crawling on the leaves.
He thought to himself: A few bugs are nothing to worry about!
Staring at the calabashes, he talked to himself: “Grow quickly, my little calabashes! Grow bigger than a big pumpkin!”

A neighbor saw this and told him: “Don’t only focus on your calabashes. There are aphids on the leaves. Get rid of them quickly!”
The man felt confused and replied: “Why should I kill the bugs on leaves? All I want is the calabash itself.”

A few days later, there were far more aphids on the leaves.
The small calabashes turned yellow little by little and dropped off the vine one after another.
