English Original
There was a big river, and in it lived a big, bad fish. Every year, it demanded a boy or a girl to eat. The people had no choice but to send a child, or the fish would drown them.
The time came for Shally to be sent. Little Shally sat sobbing in a small boat in the middle of the river. Seeing her, the little fish felt sorry and wanted to help. "Don't cry, Shally," they said. "Let's think of a way." They found a knife and gave it to her.
When the big fish came to eat Shally, all the little fish swam up and nibbled at it, hurting it. Seizing the chance, Shally took out the knife and killed the big fish.
With the big fish dead, Shally and all the other children were saved.
中文翻译
有一条大河，河里住着一条又大又坏的鱼。它每年都要吃掉一个男孩或女孩。人们别无选择，只能送上一个孩子，否则大鱼就会淹没他们。
轮到莎莉被送出去了。小莎莉坐在河中央的小船上啜泣。小鱼们看到了她，非常同情，想要帮忙。"别哭，莎莉，"它们说，"我们来想办法。"它们找到一把刀，交给了莎莉。
当大鱼游过来要吃莎莉时，所有的小鱼都游过来轻咬它，让它疼痛不已。莎莉抓住机会，拿出刀杀死了大鱼。
大鱼死了，莎莉和所有其他的孩子都得救了。
