Once upon a time there was a poor family in a small village. The family had a son called Jackson. He was
a kind boy. He always saved his pocket money to help pay for his sister's school fees.
One day, they had no food to eat. Jackson's mother asked him to go fishing. So he went to the nearby river. He waited for a long time and caught a cod (鳕鱼) at last. The cod said to him, "If you don't eat me, I will give
you a pair of magic scissors (剪刀). And you can use the scissors to cut anything you want." Jackson believed
it and got the scissors.
When he got home, he told his parents and his sister about the magic scissors. They cut some food, and the
delicious food was on the table. Then they cut a house, and they had a new house. They were very happy, and
didn't worry about the food any more.
