Children’s Animal Story: Little Carp in the River

The little carp’s home is in a small river. The water and grass here are luxuriant and the food is plentiful. Little carp never have to worry about running out of food. It feels that its life is very happy.

One day, the little carp was looking for food in the river. Although there were many plankton in the water, he ignored them. He wanted to find his favorite shrimp.

While swimming, the little carp suddenly saw a group of small shrimps being chased by a big carp swimming upstream.

The little carp was very happy and followed the big carp upstream.

"Little carp, stop!"

Suddenly, a strange voice came, and then the little carp saw a strange-looking fish blocking his way. Front.

The body length of the strange fish is about 10 centimeters, and its mouth is long and curved, like an elephant's trunk.

"Who are you?" the little carp said unhappily, "Why are you blocking my way?"

The strange fish said: "I am an elephant fish. There is a fish in front of me. It's dangerous, you can't go forward!"

"What's not dangerous?" the little carp said angrily, "Didn't you see that a big carp has passed by? Get away quickly, I We have to eat!"

"There is real danger ahead, you can't go!" The elephant fish insisted on blocking the little carp and refused to get out of the way.

"I don't believe it!" said the little carp, "You probably want to go to the front and eat the remaining shrimps eaten by the big carp!"

"Don't be wronged. Man!" Elephant Fish said, "I also wanted to stop the big carp, but he was too big. I was worried that he would swallow me in one bite, so I didn't dare to stop him!"

Little Carp Said: "Okay, then tell me what dangers there are ahead. If you lie to me, I will eat you when I grow up!"

The elephant fish said: "The river water in front is affected by If it is polluted, you will be poisoned to death!"

The little carp said: "How do you know that the river water is polluted?"

The elephant fish said: "I said the same. I don’t know, but I can feel it!”

“How do you feel it?” the little carp asked curiously.

The gourami said: "We the gourami have lived in turbid river water for a long time. Our eyes have degenerated and our vision is very poor, but the muscles around our tails can fire a series of The electric pulse is used to collect information about the surrounding environment."

"Oh, so that's it!"

Although the little carp doesn't understand what the electric pulse the gourami is talking about. But he thought that the gourd fish stopped him from going forward out of good intentions, so he said gratefully: "Thank you, I won't go forward, let's look for food together here!" ”

The Elephant Gourami said: “No, we have to get out of here quickly!”

“Why?”

The Elephant Gourami said: “It won’t take long , the sewage in front will flow here, we have to escape to another river before the sewage flows here!"

The little carp said: "This is our home. Ah, where should we go from here?"

The Elephant Fish said: "Go downstream, there is a forked river, let's go to the forked river, the pollution there will be less."< /p>

While talking, the little carp was surprised to see countless small fish and shrimp floating upstream in the dirty river water.

"Who are they?"

Before the little carp finished speaking, he heard the elephant fish say: "They are all poisoned to death. You hurry up, it will be too late." !"

The little carp said: "Why don't you go? Let's go together!"

The elephant fish said: "You go first, and I will see if there are others. Friends, come here!"

Under the urging of the elephant fish, the little carp hurriedly swam downstream.

The dead fish and shrimps on the river were quickly discovered by people living on the shore. They quickly informed the staff of the environmental monitoring station about the situation.

The staff immediately came to the river with monitoring equipment and instruments.

"How did the small fish and shrimps die?" Many people had questions on their faces.

When they walked to the water where the elephant fish was, the instrument in the hand of a staff member received the electrical pulse signal sent by the elephant fish.

"It can be concluded that this fish and shrimp death incident is related to river water pollution." The staff member analyzed, "Generally, the electrical pulses generated by the gourami fish per minute are 300~ 500 times, but the electrical pulses emitted by the rhinoceros we detected were more than 1,000 times per minute. This shows that the pollution level of the river water here is already very high. No wonder the fish and shrimps are poisoned to death!"

After hearing the sound of human arrival, the elephant fish hurriedly hid in the nearby aquatic plants. Although he was not sure what these busy people were doing, one thing he was sure of was that their arrival was related to the pollution of the river water.

At this time, the elephant fish began to feel that the river water was difficult to swallow and difficult to breathe. Looking at the river surface, there were more and more dead fish and dead shrimps coming down from the upstream. The elephant fish knew that the water was polluted along the way. When it flows over, although it has been diluted by the river water and the concentration is no longer very high, if you stay here any longer, you will definitely be poisoned.

The giant carp wanted to leave here quickly, but when he looked upstream again, he saw a big carp swimming towards here.

The elephant fish knows that the big carp is also poisoned. Just because he is big and has strong resistance, it is not life-threatening.

The moment he saw the big carp, Elephant Fish couldn't help but feel happy, and scenes from the past appeared before his eyes. Several times, the Elephant Fish was chased by a big carp. If he hadn't run so fast, he would have become a delicacy in the mouth of the big carp.

However, at this time, what was thinking more about the elephant fish was that it was precisely because of the abnormal behavior of these poisoned fish in the water that it attracted people's attention to environmental pollution. It is because of the sacrifice of these fish and shrimp that people think that a good living environment should be created for aquatic animals.

Thinking of this, the Elephant Fish no longer hesitated. He hurriedly swam forward and said to the big carp: "Hurry up and swim downstream with me. There is a forked river there. Just get into the forked river!" ”

The big carp weakly waved its tail at the elephant fish as a gesture of thanks. Then, he followed the elephant fish and swam downstream.

The little carp in the story began to ignore the warnings of the elephant fish. When it saw the dead fish and shrimp floating on the water, it was shocked by this scene. After thanking the elephant fish, it left. Polluted rivers. The elephant fish did not leave, and continued to look for fish and shrimps in need of help, telling them to leave here quickly and go to the less polluted fork of the river. From this story, should we reflect on ourselves? Who made the little fish lose their beautiful home and no longer be able to continue their happy life in the river?
