[Story] Once upon a time in a city with a thriving urban population, there was a productive fishery known for its rhythmic work. The fishermen would implement traditional methods, passed down from generation to generation, to catch the ripe fish. One day, as they were hauling in their nets, they were jolted by the sight of a massive turtle swimming gracefully among the fish. It was a sight that took their breath away. In a congratulatory gesture, the daughter of the fishery owner presented them with a cylindrical container of freshly harvested cereal. The simplification of this traditional ceremony was always a joyful event, and it brought the community together.
[参考翻译] 从前，一个拥有繁荣城市人口的城市里，有一个以其有节奏的工作而闻名的高产渔场。渔民们会实施代代相传的传统方法来捕捞成熟的鱼。有一天，当他们拉网时，一只巨大的海龟优雅地游过鱼群，令他们震惊不已。这一景象令他们惊叹不已。作为庆祝的举动，渔场主的女儿送给他们一个装满新收获的谷物的圆柱形容器。这一传统仪式的简化总是一个喜庆的活动，它把社区团结在一起。
