成语故事 | Be implicated by no reason 城门失火，殃及池鱼

Be implicated by no reason,

Once, there was a pool near the gate of a city wall. In the pool, many fish were swimming happily there. One day, the gate burst into flames. One of the fish saw it and said to others: “Swim! Swim quickly! It’s on fire!” But other fish didn’t care too much. They thought the gate was far away from the pool and it would not hurt them. At last only that fish swam away.

The fire burned bigger and bigger, so all people came to the pool to fetch water. In the end, the fire was put out and the water in the pool was used up. Unluckily, the fish in the pool died because of no water.
