An old man was fishing on the bank of a river. A child came to see him fishing. The old man was really good at fishing and it didn’t take long for him to catch a full basket of fish. The old man saw that the child was very cute(可爱), and he wanted to give her a whole basket of fish. But the child shook（摇） her head. The old man was surprised and asked, “Why don’t you want the fish?”
The child answered, “I want the fishing rod(竿) in your hands.”
The old man asked, “Why do you want the rod?”
“It doesn’t take long to eat all the fish in a basket. But if I have the fishing rod, I can go fishing by myself and I won’t be afraid of not having any more fish to eat.”

Why did the child refuse(拒绝) the fish the old man gave her?
A．Because she didn’t like fish

Because she wanted to learn fishing skillsThe writer thought the child was __ after she explained why she didn’t want the fish.
