Chapter 15 - 红山的传说 Hóng shān de chuánshuō

核心
Hé xīn


从前,新加坡的海里有许多凶恶的剑鱼.
Cóngqián, xīnjiāpō dì hǎi li yǒu xǔduō 
xiōng'è de jiàn yú.
它们用那又长又尖的 “剑”
Tāmen yòng nà yòu zhǎng yòu jiān de “jiàn”
伤害了不少渔民.
Shāng hài liǎo bù shǎo yúmín.


国王为了保护他的人民
Guówáng wèile bǎohù tā de rénmín
就派兵士去除掉剑鱼.
Jiù pài bīngshì qù chú diào jiàn yú.
可是兵士一走到海边
Kěshì bīngshì yì zǒu dào hǎibiān
就被剑鱼刺伤或刺死了.
Jiù bèi jiàn yúcì shāng huò cì sǐle.


国王十分着急
Guówáng shífēn zhāojí
他左思右想,
Tā zuǒsī yòu xiǎng,
还是想不出一个好办法.
Háishì xiǎng bù chū yí gè hǎo bànfǎ.


一天, 一个小男孩来见国王,
Yìtiān, yígè xiǎo nánhái lái jiàn guówáng,
说 Shuō
您把香蕉树干插在浅滩
上,
Nín bǎ xiāngjiāo shùgàn chā zài qiǎntān shàng,
就可以对付剑鱼了.
Jiù kěyǐ duìfù jiàn yúle.
国王马上命令兵士照着做
Guówáng mǎshàng mìnglìng bīngshì zhàozhe zuò


剑鱼随着海浪来到浅滩,
Jiàn yú suízhe hǎilàng lái dào qiǎntān,
渐渐的嘴插进了香蕉树干,
Jiànjiàn de zuǐ chā jìnle xiāngjiāo shùgàn,
一动也不能动
Yídòng yě bùnéng dòng
结果,它们都被兵士消灭了.
Jiéguǒ, tāmen dōu bèi bīngshì xiāomièle.


国王见小男孩很聪明,担心
Guówáng jiàn xiǎo nánhái hěn cōngmíng, dānxīn
他长大后会抢自己的王位,
Tā zhǎng dà hòu huì qiǎng zìjǐ de wángwèi,
就派兵士去追杀他
Jiù pài bīngshì qù zhuī shā tā


小男孩躲到山上
Xiǎo nánhái duǒ dào shānshàng
可是兵士还是找到了他
Kěshì bīngshì háishì zhǎodàole tā
把他杀死了
Bǎ tāshā sǐle


他流的血
Tā liú de xuè
把整座山都染红了
Bǎ zhěng zuò shān dū rǎn hóngle
后来,人们就把这座山叫做红山.
Hòulái, rénmen jiù bǎ zhè zuò shān jiàozuò hóng shān.
