English Original
Once upon a time, a bird-catcher enjoyed casting nets to catch birds.
One day, seeing birds about to fly by, he immediately cast his net and waited patiently.
Soon, a bird arrived as expected and was caught at once.
Drawing in the net, the bird-catcher found the bird trapped in a single mesh. He thought, "If one mesh is enough, why have more?" So, he specially made a net with only one mesh, cast it in the same spot, and waited eagerly.
However, he never caught another bird thereafter.

从前，有个捕鸟人，喜欢张网捕鸟。
一天，他看见鸟儿将要飞过，便立刻布下罗网，耐心等待。
不一会儿，鸟儿果然飞来，一下子就被他捕获了。
捕鸟人收网一看，发现鸟被缚在一个网眼里。他想：“既然一个网眼就够了，何必还要那么多呢？”于是，他专门制作了一张只有一个眼孔的网，在原处张起，兴致勃勃地等待着。
然而，从此以后，他再也没有捕到过一只鸟。
