A Flower in the Desert

　　Fish lives in water.

　　One day, a group of fish was stranded1 when the spring dried up.

　　They disgorged（吐出） moisture for each other to breathe and spat2 foam3 to moisten（弄湿） each other. Now they were never like the way they were in rivers and springs. And none of them could recall the situation that they used to be in.

　　鱼本来生活在泉水中.

　　一天，泉水干涸了，许多鱼被困在陆地上。

　　它们相互之间用吐出湿气供别的鱼呼吸，用吐出的唾沫相互沾湿。这时的它们就不是像在江湖、泉水中那样自由自在，谁也不记得谁的情形了。
