Once upon a time there were two good friends. One is a captain of a ship ,the other is a merchant (商人). The merchant had a young son,who wanted to be a sailor ,so the captain took him for voyages(航海) in his . One day when the captain had come from a voyage with a lot of money,the merchant told him that the price of iron(铁) had and suggested that he should buy some with his money. “I’ll it for you in my storehouse you return from your next voyage,and perhaps you’ll get money.”
But while the captain was away,the price of iron went up very ,so the merchant sold it and kept the money.When the captain came back,his friend told him that he was very sorry and the mice had all the iron.
The captain knew that his friend was telling ,but he stayed and said,“I knew that you had problems with mice in your storehouse.”
After a few days,the captain started voyage,and when he returned home,he said to the merchant,“I’m very sorry,but our voyage a bird came down and carried your son away.”
The merchant was very and said,“Birds cannot carry boys!” “And can mice eat iron,” answered the captain.The merchant took the captain to a judge ,who said,“The merchant must give the captain the money which he got when he the iron,and then the captain must bring the merchant’s son back to him. ”
