Fish live in water.
One day, a spring dried up, leaving a group of fish stranded.
To survive, they disgorged moisture for each other to breathe and spat foam to moisten one another. In this desperate state, they were nothing like their former selves in the rivers and springs. None could recall the freedom they once knew.
鱼生活在水中。
一天，泉水干涸了，一群鱼被困在了陆地上。
为了生存，它们相互吐出湿气供彼此呼吸，吐出泡沫来沾湿对方。在这种绝境中，它们已全然不似昔日畅游于江河泉水中那般自在。谁也不复记得往昔的自由光景。
