The Prophet
A WIZARD, sitting in the marketplace, was telling the fortunes of
the passers-by when a person ran up in great haste, and
announced to him that the doors of his house had been broken open
and that all his goods were being stolen. He sighed heavily and
hastened away as fast as he could run. A neighbor saw him
running and said, "Oh! you fellow there! you say you can foretell
the fortunes of others; how is it you did not foresee your own?

'I reached down to grab it, and I felt its jaw, I felt its teeth, and I didn't know what to do, so I immediately reacted and hit it a couple times. And I had enough strength to pry its jaw open.' The child pulled the powerful jaws open long enough to slide out and swim to shore.
“我潛入水中抓住了它，摸到了它的下巴，摸到了它的牙齒，可不知道該怎么做，不過我立刻就反應(yīng)過來了趕緊猛打了它幾下，并使勁撐開了它的嘴巴�！毙≌材匪拱阉淖彀蛽蔚米銐虼蠛筅s緊退后并向岸邊游去。
