 海水变咸了
 村里有个叫阿义的船夫，他是个
忠厚善良的年轻人，客人少给钱，甚
至没给钱，他都不会计较。
 有一天，有位老公公下船后没给
钱，阿义还对老公公说：「走路要小
心喔！」过一会儿，已经离开的老公
公又回来，

5. 5
 对阿义说：「你的心地真善良，我
给你一个小石磨，就当作船费吧！
你想要什么东西，只要对石磨说：
『石磨！石磨！东西南北北东北，
变』石磨就会变出来，要停止就说：
『石磨！石磨！东西南北，停！』
它就会停下来，一定要记住喔！」

6. 6
 阿义看着小石磨，心想：「小石磨
像掌心一样小，真有那么神奇吗？」
结果，真的像老公公说的一样，想
要什么就变出什么，阿义就把变出
来的食物和衣物，拿去帮助穷苦的
人。

7. 7
 阿义有钱后，就请一位叫阿丁的船
夫，免费载客人渡河。贪心的阿丁
知道小石磨的秘密后，就把小石磨
偷走。阿丁划着船往大海的方向走，
才划到大海，阿丁已经等不及，便
拿出小石磨，唸着：「石磨！石磨！
东西南北北东北，变盐巴。」

8. 8
 果然，开始流出盐巴，阿丁高兴得
不得了，没多久，眼看船快装不下，
阿丁一急就忘记停止的口诀。最后，
阿丁、小石磨和船都沉到海里去了，
小石磨还在海底下，不停地磨出盐
巴来，从此以后，海水就变成咸的。
