Once he saw an old fisherman with a basket. He looked in the basket and saw that it was full of turtles. He knew that whoever bought the turtles would eat them. "Poor turtles，" he thought， "You wouldn't like to die， would you？" So he got out his wallet and bought the whole basketful， and let them go in a Free Life Pond.
有一次他看见一个渔翁拿着一只篮子。他看了一看篮子，发现里面都是乌龟。他知道买这些乌龟的人都会把它们吃掉。"可怜的乌龟，"他想，"你们一定不想死吧？"所以他拿出钱包，把整篮乌龟都买了下来，然后放到一个放生池里。
A few years later， there was a terrible drought. All the farmers were worried， because if it didn't rain， their crops wouldn't grow， and they might starve to death. People then knew all about starving to death， because it happened so often. When there was a drought， there would be so many hungry people that they couldn't all be fed. People would eat weeds and bark to stay alive， and many people would die.
