五、阅读短文，根据短文内容选择正确答案。
A man was really good at fishing and one day he went fishing by a small river. He caught ten big fish in a short time. A boy came to see him fishing. The man asked the boy，“How old are you?” The boy answered，“Well，my brother is ten years old and I'm two years younger than him.” The man thought the boy was very cute，so he wanted to give him some big fish. But the boy said no to him. The man asked，“Why don't you want the big fish?” The boy answered，“I want the fishing rod（竿）in your hands. If you give me the big fish，I will eat it soon and then I won't have any fish to eat. I will be hungry again. But if I have the fishing rod，I can use it to catch a lot of fish by myself.”
Some sportsmen were exercising by the river at that time. When they heard the boy's words，they all said that the boy was very smart.
Many people want to have a “fishing rod” in their lives. They are just like the boy. They think that if they have a fishing rod，they will have fish to eat. But I have a different idea. I think it is more important to learn how to fish than to have a fishing rod. What do you think?
