在香港,有一家名為「珍寶」的大型海上海鮮餐廳,它建在一艘船上。利王亭覺得這艘海鮮船來來去去很滑稽,他想像船上有一隻名叫小傑羅德的老鼠,會很有趣。
後來,特凡在《吃海鮮的老鼠》一文中重述了這個故事:小傑羅德在奔跑中迷路,掉進了這艘大型海鮮船上。對他來說,餐廳毫無意義,只不過是個堆滿食物的地方。廚師曼喬發現了它,但沒殺他。
曼喬廚師是一位佛教徒,他無法無緣無故地殺害生命。他會給小傑羅德餵一些熟食或用過的食物。他甚至把小傑羅德藏在一尊雕像後面,因為那裡沒人會去。後來有一天,小傑羅德病得很重,看似中毒。
曼喬知道他餵給小傑羅德吃的是最近進的一批海鮮,一定是變質了。他把這件事告訴了大老闆,結果被提拔為廚師長。這真是太好了,多虧了小傑羅德。後來,「珍寶」在香港的生意就做不下去了,駛離香港。
它駛向了南沙群島外的海域。這是一個糟糕的決定,因為2022年的一場大火將它燒毀,掉到海底。曼喬沒能及時發現,只好把傑洛德從藏身之處救出來。結果一條繩子絆倒他。
幸運的是,傑羅德沒有逃走,而是留下來咬斷了繩子。如果不是傑羅德救了他,他恐怕已經葬身大海了。曼喬拿出一個鍋,把傑羅德藏了起來。後來,他們漂向了菲律賓附近海域。
他始終不讓別人拿走他的鍋,因為他擔心船員會把傑羅德扔進海裡。但一切都很順利,當他們看到陸地時,他不得不放走傑羅德。
There was a big seafood restaurant built in a boat in Hong Kong called Jumbos. Court Ri thought it's funny that the seafood ship came and went away. He imagined there is a rat on board called Petite Jerrod in it.
Tefan later retold it in Seafood Rat where it happened that Petite Jerrod lost his way in a scurry and fell into a big seafood ship. To him a restaurant has no meaning, it's just a place full of food. Chef Manjo found him.
Manjo is a Buddhist and he couldn't kill life without a guilt. He would throw some bites of cooked or used food to him. He even hid Jerrod behind a statue because nobody go there. Then one day Jerrod got very sick.
He knew he had fed him with recent batch of seafood. It must have gone bad. He told his boss and got a promotion as Chief. It's great, thanks to Jerrod. Later Jumbo could not run business in Hong Kong anymore.
It went to the sea outside Spratly Island. It was a bad move, as a fire in 2022 burned it to the sea bottom. Manjo wasn't alerted so fast that he had to free Jerrod from hiding place. And a rope tripped him down.
Luckily Jerrod didn't go away but stayed to chew down the rope. If Jerrod wasn't there to save him he would be dead in the water. He took out a pot and hid Jerrod in it. They drifted towards The Phillipines later on.
He never let people take his pot as he felt the crew would throw Jerrod into the sea. But all went well, and he had to let Jerrod as soon as they saw land again.
