一个渔民的故事
Gooog Dec-24-2011
Summer is extremely beautiful for long island because of not only its vigor
of greenness but also its various bays and lakes full of fish. Feng,
standing in the
water, casted his spinning lures for snappers. “What did I
do last night?” he thought. Feng found a programmer job in the center of
Mahattan. He liked fishing and came to long island for fishing every weekend
. Nothing could stop him from fishing. But two days ago, when he was off
work and ready for home, Yu, his co-worker, came to him.
“Are you going fishing tomorrow?” Yu asked.
“Yes, Do you want to keep fish? I may not eat them up.” Feng smiled.
“Do you have my address?” Yu asked.
“5638 Indiana AVE.” Feng answered.
“No, I moved.” Yu answered, “since my husband backed to China.”
…
That evening fishing was unbelievably amazing. Feng caught one 38 inches and
one 45 inches stripers. He put the smaller one into refrigerator and
brought the bigger one with him to Yu’s new apartment.
…
“You are really a fisherman. Look! what a big fish you caught!” Yu
welcomed Feng when he showed up in front of her apartment.
“Today is good day for fishing. But I am not a good chef. I clean and cut
the fish and then you cook it, OK?” Feng begged.
“No problem! Tonight we will have fish soup with pickled Chinese cabbage.”
Yu smiled back.
…
“We are not a harmonious couple. I am tired of fighting. He backed to China
not because he found a good offer there. Actually he tried to avoid me.
We are divorcing.” Yu talked about her husband when she had dinner with
Feng.
“Every family has its own bitterness.” Feng comforted her.
…
“It’s late. I got to go. Thank you for the delicious dinner. That is the
best fish I have ever tasted.” Feng stood up for his seat and walked to the
door.
“wait! I don’t stop you. But I just want you to know that if you want to
stay
here tonight I would not say no.” Yu looked at his eyes with her heart.
…
A snapper came to bite the lure and got hooked. Feng caught and released it.
“Do I love her?” Feng asked himself. |
