英语故事：All Special

One day, there was an elder couple buying fish from me, all of what happened was really very special.

The Gentleman carried a basket on his elbow（肘部） , when the couple were near a pond to look at the fish, there was a pure silver long fin¹ Koi（锦鲤） which about six inches jumped into the basket.

"Wha----" Their surprised sound drew my eyes.

I have worked with fish for a long time, but it was the first time I saw a fish jump up into customer's basket.

"You are lucky!" I said to them.

"Come on, come on, I buy, I buy him!" I looked at them, the couple are so happy and I went to serve them.

"Anything else?" I asked.

"Yes, I want to find a partner for her." The gentleman was humourous.

They were looking for another fish through the fish ponds one by one, I brought a net and the fish bag followed them, the fish were always swimming towards us and asking for food in every pond.

"What’s the matter with the fish?" The lady asked.

"They are hungry." I said.

"No, not hungry, they knew us and greeting us." The gentleman said.

"Yes, definitely²!" I said.

We stopped for a few minutes by a fish pond.

"How about that fish?" The lady pointed³ at a colourful Sarasa（红白色相间的印花布） Comet⁴.

"It looks so beautiful!" The gentleman and I said same words.

"I want to buy it because she looked at me. You see, she still looked at me, I’ll buy her."
