东(dong)曦既(ji)驾(jia),僵卧长愁。忽闻(wen)门外(wai)虫鸣(ming)。惊起觇视,虫宛然尚在。喜而捕之。一鸣(ming),辄跃去,行且(qie)速。覆之(zhi)以掌(zhang),虚若(ruo)无物;手裁举,则又超(chao)忽而跃。急趁之,折过(guo)墙隅,迷(mi)其所往(wang)。徘徊四(si)顾,见(jian)虫伏壁上。审(shen)谛之,短小,黑(hei)赤色,顿非前(qian)物。成以其(qi)小,劣之。惟彷徨瞻顾(gu),寻所(suo)逐者(zhe)。壁上(shang)小虫,忽跃落衿袖间。视之(zhi):形(xing)若土狗,梅花翅(chi),方首(shou)长胫,意似良。喜而收之。将献公堂,惴惴(zhui)恐不当意,思试(shi)之(zhi)斗以觇之。村中少年(nian)好事者,驯(xun)养一(yi)虫,自(zi)名蟹壳青,日与子弟角,无不胜。欲居之(zhi)以为利(li),而高且直,亦无(wu)售者。径(jing)造庐(lu)访成(cheng)。视成(cheng)所蓄(xu),掩口(kou)胡(hu)卢而笑。因(yin)出己(ji)虫,纳(na)比笼中(zhong)。成视之,庞然修伟,自增惭怍,不敢与(yu)较。少年固强之(zhi)。顾(gu)念:蓄劣物,终无所(suo)用(yong),不(bu)如拼(pin)搏一笑。因合纳斗盆(pen)。小虫伏不动,蠢(chun)若木(mu)鸡。少年又大笑。试以猪鬣毛,撩拨虫(chong)须(xu),仍不动。少年又(you)笑。屡撩之,虫暴(bao)怒(nu),直奔,遂相腾(teng)击(ji),振奋作(zuo)声。俄(e)见(jian)小虫(chong)跃起(qi),张尾(wei)伸须,直敌领。少年大(da)骇,解令(ling)休止(zhi)。虫翘(qiao)然矜鸣(ming),似(si)报(bao)主(zhu)知。成大(da)喜。方共(gong)瞻玩,一鸡瞥(pie)来,径(jing)进以啄。成骇立愕呼。幸啄不中,虫跃(yue)去(qu)尺有咫;鸡健进,逐逼(bi)之,虫已(yi)在爪下矣。成仓促莫知所救,顿足(zu)失色(se)。旋见鸡伸颈(jing)摆扑。监视,则虫集(ji)冠上(shang),力叮不(bu)释。成益(yi)惊喜,掇置(zhi)笼中(zhong)。
