古时候,有个家境贫寒的少年十分好学,他干完农活后,总是抽空去村里的学堂外偷听老师上课。学堂里的老师个是颇有才学的老秀才,有一次,这位老师发现了在外偷听他上课的少年。老师见少年这般好学求知,便想考考他,于是问:“娃娃,我出个字谜你来猜猜,若是你猜出来了,我就让你到学堂里来上课,怎么样?”少年连连点头。老秀才便说出了他的字谜:“东海有大鱼,无头又无尾,丢了脊梁骨,一去直到底。” In ancient times, there was a very poor family teenager who was very good-natured. After he finished his work, he always took the time to eavesdrop on his teacher in the school outside the village. The teacher in the school was an old scholar of talent. On one occasion, the teacher found a teenager who overheard his class. See the young teacher so studious to learn, they want to test him, then asked: “doll, I’m out of a puzzle you have to guess, if you guess it, I let you go to school to school, how? Teenager nodded. The old scholar said his riddle: ”There are big fish in the East China Sea, headless and tailless, lost backbone, all the way to the end."
