Reflecting
How well can you do these things? Very well OK Needs work
1. I can use the past tense to tell my favourite
stories to others.
2. I can express my thoughts and feelings
about a story.
3. I can write an ending for a story.
4. I can understand the meaning behind stories
from different cultures.
Why do we tell stories?
Short stories can hold big ideas.
“Stories are like mirrors. They show us good and bad qualities. We should learn to be content and grateful, and also respect the help from others. Just like the stories teach us, we can use creativity to spread these good ideas!”
“故事如同明镜,映照人性善恶。我们应当学会知足感恩,更要珍视他人善意。正如故事所启示的——用创造力传递善念,正是我们书写人生的方式!”

The little golden fish in the story has many wishes when helping the fisherman. But what are its own secret wishes?
Let's enter its world through reading!
Prediction
➸What new things will we find
in this story?
➸Will the golden fish get tired of(厌倦)
helping?”
The Fisherman and the Golden Fish
1
Read the play and answer the questions.
1. How did the fisherman meet the golden fish?
2. Why do you think the fisherman’s wife said
“At last, fortune smiles upon us”?
(“终于,幸运降临到我们头上了”)
One day, the fisherman went fishing and caught the little golden fish.
Because the fisherman and his wife have lived a poor life for a long time. And the golden fish could help them live a better life.
1
Read the play and answer the questions.
3. How do you think the fisherman felt when he
saw the pot?
4. Why wasn’t the fisherman’s wife happy with
the gifts?
5. Do you agree with what the fisherman and
his wife did? Why or why not?
He felt surprised when he saw the pot.
Because she was very greedy(贪婪的).
No, I don’t. Because they’re too greedy. They’re never satisfied with what they have had and always want to have better things.
Thinking
1. Besides the new pot and new house, what else did the wife want?
(除了新锅和新房子,妻子还想要什么?)
2. How do you think the golden fish felt each time it helped the fisherman?
(你认为金鱼每次帮助渔夫时,心情是怎样的?)
3. If the golden fish refused to help the fisherman's wife, how might the story
develop?(如果金鱼拒绝帮助渔夫的妻子,故事可能会怎样发展?)
From the text, after getting the new pot and new house, the wife still wasn't satisfied. She wanted to be richer. Maybe she would even ask to be a queen.
At first, the golden fish might feel grateful to the fisherman for setting it free. But as the wife kept asking more, the fish could feel angry or helpless.
If the golden fish refused, the wife would get very angry at the fisherman.
➸What new things will we find
in this story?
➸Will the golden fish get tired of(厌倦)
helping?”
Check your prediction.
The golden fish can speak human language.
The wife will ask more, showing increasing greed.
The fish's changing attitude(态度).
Yes, the golden fish will likely tire of helping.
Because of his cooler later response(因为他后来
更冷淡的回应).

Fisherman: Little golden fish, my wife wants to be rich.
Could you help me?

Gold coins filled the house.
