The Fish Taxi Accident
In Oregon, lots of salmon are NOT born in rivers. These baby fish are born in hatcheries. Workers help them grow. Young fish are safe there.
奧勒岡州有很多鮭魚不是在河裡出生，而是在魚卵孵化場。工作人員把牠們安全的養大。
When salmon are about a year and a half old, they leave their hatchery. They take a fish taxi!
到了一歲半，這些小魚就會搭計程車，離開孵化場。
Fish taxis are trucks with a big tank. Hatchery workers put salmon and water in the tank.
鮭魚計程車是裝載巨大魚缸的卡車，工作人員把魚缸裝滿水，把小魚放進去。
The truck drives the fish to a river. The salmon swim down the river to the ocean. There, they become big and strong.
卡車載小魚到河邊，放進河裡，讓牠們從河流游進大海，長成強壯的大魚。
One day, a truck was driving near a river. The tank had more than 100,000 salmon in it. The fish were going to a big river.
有一天，一輛裝了十萬條魚苗的卡車要開到河邊。
But the road was wet. The truck turned and ---oh, no! There was a bad accident!
結果路面濕滑，讓卡車轉彎時出了車禍!
The driver was okay! But the tank rolled down by the river. Water and many, many salmon came out of the tank!
還好駕駛沒事，但車上的水缸滾到了河邊！裡面的魚苗幾乎都流出來了。
Some did not live… But 77,000 salmon were very lucky! They fell into the river and swam away!
有的鮭魚沒有活下來，但還是有7萬7千隻的鮭魚很幸運地掉進河裡游走了。
Go, fish! Swim to the ocean!
