放生故事之十一: 烏龜報恩
11. 烏龜報恩
a turtle's gratitude
在公元四世紀的秦朝，山陰縣有個名叫孔玉的中年人。他雖是朝廷命官，但在朝中的官位最低，官俸也少得可憐，日子過得非常艱難。
during the chin dynasty of the fourth century, there was a middle-aged man in shanyin called k'ung yu. he was an official for the government, but he had practically the lowest official position in the whole dynasty. his position was low, and so was his pay. times were hard for him.
一次，他看到一只烏龜即將被人吃掉，感到很難過，就把它買下來，并帶到河邊放生。
once he saw a turtle someone was getting ready to eat. he felt sorry for it, so he bought the turtle and took it to the river. there he let it go.
烏龜好像知道孔玉從鍋邊救了它。它一邊往前游一邊回頭看他。孔玉一直看著它，直到再也看不見為止。
