The Rabbit and The Wolf’
One day a rabbit was walking near the hill. He heard someone crying,‘Help! Help!’It was a wolf. A big stone was on the wolfs back. He cried, "Mr. Rabbit, take this big stone from my back, or I will die."
The Rabbit moved the stone from the wolfs back. Then the wolf jumped and caught the rabbit.
“If you kill me, I will never help you again.” Cried the rabbit . “Ha,ha!You will not live, because I will kill you." said the wolf.
‘I helped you. How can you kill me? It’s unfair. You ask Mrs. Duck. She will say that you are wrong." said the rabbit. “I will ask her,” said the wolf.
So they went to ask Mrs. Duck. The duck listened to their story and said,” What stone? I must see it. Then I can know who is right. “So the wolf and the rabbit and the duck went to see the stone.
"Now, put the stone back," said Mrs. Duck. So they put the stone back. Now the big stone is on the wolf’s back again.
That’s all for my story. Thanks for listening.
兔子和狼
一天,兔子先生正在山坡附近遛哒,他听到有人在呼救:“救命呀!救命呀!”他这边瞧瞧,那边望望,他发现了可怜的狼先生,一块大石头掉下来压在狼先生的背上,他起不来了。他喊道:“兔先生,把这块大石头从我背上搬开,要不然我会死e799bee5baa6e78988e69d83362的。”兔子好不容易把大石头从狼背上搬开,这时,狼跳起来,把兔子叼在嘴里。“如果你吃了我,”兔子叫喊着,“只要我还活着,我再也不帮你的忙了。” “你不会活了,”狼说,“因为我要吃了你了。” “好人是不会杀救过他命的恩人的,”兔子说,“这很不公平,你去问鸭子夫人,她很胖,她样样事情都通晓,她一定会说没有一个好人会干出这种事情来。” “我去问她”,于是,狼和兔子到了鸭子家。狼说:“当兔子先生在山坡附近坐下时,我抓住了他,因此,我要吃掉他。现在你来谈谈你是怎样想的吧。” “我从他的背上搬开好大的一块石头,”兔子说,“因此,我说他不应该吃掉我,因为我救了他。现在你说说你的看法吧。” “什么石头?”鸭子夫人问。“山附近一块石头,”兔子说。“我必须去看看,”鸭子说,“如果我连那块石头也没有看见,那我怎么说得出我的看法?”于是,狼、兔子和鸭子一起去看那块石头。现在你知道结果是什么了。
The Old Cat
An old woman had a cat. The cat was very old; she could not run quickly, and she could not bite, because she was so old. One day the old cat saw a mouse; she jumped and caught the mouse. But she could not bite it; so the mouse got out of her mouth and ran away, because the cat could not bite it.
Then the old woman became very angry because the cat had not killed the mouse. She began to hit the cat. The cat said, "Do not hit your old servant. I have worked for you for many years, and I would work for you still, but I am too old. Do not be unkind to the old, but remember what good work the old did when they were young."
老猫
一位老妇有只猫,这只猫很老,它跑不快了,也咬不了东西,因为它年纪太大了。一天,老猫发现一只老鼠,它跳过去抓这只老鼠,然而,它咬不住这只老鼠。因此,老鼠从它的嘴边溜掉了,因为老猫咬不了它。
于是,老妇很生气,因为老猫没有把老鼠咬死。她开始打这只猫,猫说:“不要打你的老仆人,我已经为你服务了很多年,而且还愿意为你效劳,但是,我实在太老了,对年纪大的不要这么无情,要记住老年人在年青时所做过的有益的事情。”
A man was going to the house of some rich person. As he went along the road, he saw a box of good apples at the side of the road. He said, "I do not want to eat those apples; for the rich man will give me much food; he will give me very nice food to eat." Then he took the apples and threw them away into the dust.
He went on and came to a river. The river had become very big; so he could not go over it. He waited for some time; then he said, "I cannot go to the rich man's house today, for I cannot get over the river."
He began to go home. He had eaten no food that day. He began to want food. He came to the apples, and he was glad to take them out of the dust and eat them.
Do not throw good things away; you may be glad to have them at some other time.
一个人正朝着一个富人的房子走去,当他沿着路走时,在路的一边他发现一箱好苹果,他说:“我不打算吃那些苹果,因为富人会给我更多的食物,他会给我很好吃的东西。”然后他拿起苹果,一把扔到土里去。
他继续走,来到河边,河涨水了,因此,他到不了河对岸,他等了一会儿,然后他说:“今天我去不了富人家了,因为我不能渡过河。”
他开始回家,那天他没有吃东西。他就开始去找吃的,他找到苹果,很高兴地把它们从尘土中翻出来吃了。
不要把好东西扔掉,换个时候你会觉得它们大有用处。
The City Mouse and the Country Mouse
Once there were two mice. They were friends. One mouse lived in the country; the other mouse lived in the city. After many years the Country mouse saw the City mouse; he said, "Do come and see me at my house in the country." So the City mouse went. The City mouse said, "This food is not good, and your house is not good. Why do you live in a hole in the field? You should come and live in the city. You would live in a nice house made of stone. You would have nice food to eat. You must come and see me at my house in the city."
The Country mouse went to the house of the City mouse. It was a very good house. Nice food was set ready for them to eat. But just as they began to eat they heard a great noise. The City mouse cried, " Run! Run! The cat is coming!" They ran away quickly and hid.
After some time they came out. When they came out, the Country mouse said, "I do not like living in the city. I like living in my hole in the field. For it is nicer to be poor and happy, than to be rich and afraid."
城里老鼠和乡下老鼠
从前,有两只老鼠,它们是好朋友。一只老鼠居住在乡村,另一只住在城里。很多年以后,乡下老鼠碰到城里老鼠,它说:“你一定要来我乡下的家看看。”于是,城里老鼠就去了。乡下老鼠领着它到了一块田地上它自己的家里。它把所有最精美食物都找出来给城里老鼠。城里老鼠说:“这东西不好吃,你的家也不好,你为什么住在田野的地洞里呢?你应该搬到城里去住,你能住上用石头造的漂亮房子,还会吃上美味佳肴,你应该到我城里的家看看。”
乡下老鼠就到城里老鼠的家去。房子十分漂亮,好吃的东西也为他们摆好了。可是正当他们要开始吃的时候,听见很大的一阵响声,城里的老鼠叫喊起来:“快跑!快跑!猫来了!”他们飞快地跑开躲藏起来。
过了一会儿,他们出来了。当他们出来时,乡下老鼠说:“我不喜欢住在城里,我喜欢住在田野我的洞里。因为这样虽然贫穷但是快乐自在,比起虽然富有却要过着提心吊胆的生活来说,要好些。”

A Good Boy
Little Robert asked his mother for two cents. "What did you do with the money I gave you yesterday?"
"I gave it to a poor old woman," he answered.
"You're a good boy," said the mother proudly. "Here are two cents more. But why are you so interested in the old woman?"
"She is the one who sells the candy."
好孩子
小罗伯特向妈妈要两分钱。
“昨天给你的钱干什么了?”
“我给了一个可怜的老太婆,”他回答说。 “你真是个好孩子,”妈妈骄傲地说。“再给你两分钱。可你为什么对那位老太太那么感兴趣呢?”
“她是个卖糖果的。”
Drunk
One day, a father and his little son were going home. At this age, the boy was interested in all kinds of things and was always asking questions. Now, he asked, "What's the meaning of the word 'Drunk', dad?" "Well, my son," his father replied, "look, there are standing two policemen. If I regard the two policemen as four then I am drunk."
"But, dad," the boy said, " there's only ONE policeman!"
醉酒
一天,父亲与小儿子一道回家。这个孩子正处于那种对什么事都很感兴趣的年龄,老是有提不完的问题。他向父亲发问道:“爸爸,‘醉’字是什么意思?” “唔,孩子,”父亲回答说,“你瞧那儿站着两个警察。如果我把他们看成了四个,那么我就算醉了。” “可是,爸爸, ”孩子说,“那儿只有一个警察呀!”
一、公鸡与野鸡
1、英文
A man raised some cocks at home. One day, he met a domesticated pheasant in the market. He bought it and brought it home, and raised it with the rooster.
The cocks all pecked him, and the pheasants thought he was a foreign relationship before they were bullied.
A few days later, he saw the cocks fighting with each other, their heads were broken, and they refused to stop.
So he said to himself, "Now, I don't resent being deceived by them anymore, because I see with my own eyes that they themselves can't tolerate each other."
This story shows that it's not surprising that smart people can't get tolerance from their neighbors and family members if they see that they can't tolerate each other.
2、翻译
有个人在家里喂养了些公鸡。有一天,他在市场上遇见了一只驯化的野鸡,便买下带回家来,与公鸡关养在一起。那些公鸡都追啄他,野鸡原以为他是外来的关系,才遭受欺负。
过了几天后,他见到那些公鸡相互斗架,彼此斗得头破血流,还不肯停下来。于是,他自言自语地说:“现在,我再不怨恨被他们所欺了,因为我亲眼看到他们自己也不能互相宽容。”
这故事说明,聪明的人若看见邻里与家人还不能互相宽容,那他们得不到这些人的宽容就不足为奇了。
二、狼与狮子
1、英文
Once, the wolf snatched a sheep from the flock and was walking back with the sheep in his mouth when he met the lion.
The lion immediately snatched the sheep from the wolf's mouth. The wolf stood far away and said to himself, "It's wrong of you to rob me of something."
The lion laughed and said, "So, is this something that a friend has rightly given you?"
The story is that thieves and robbers are the same raccoon. There is no difference between good and bad.
2、翻译
有一次,狼从羊群中抢走一只羊,正叼着羊往回走,碰上了狮子。狮子立刻从狼口里抢走羊。狼远远地站着,自言自语地说:“你抢我的东西太不正当了。”那狮子笑着说:“那么,这东西是朋友正当地赠送给你e68a84e799bee5baa6e997aee7ad94339的吗?”
这故事是说,窃贼和强盗都是一丘之貉,没有好坏之分。
三、铁匠与小狗
1、英文
There is a dog in the blacksmith's house. When he hits the iron, the dog sleeps. When he eats, the dog immediately runs to the blacksmith and shakes his head and tail to please his master.
The blacksmith threw a bone to the dog and said, "You fellow, you are always sleepy. Why doesn't that heavy thump of iron affect your sleep at all, while the slight noise of our meals wakes you up?
The story is that those who are profit-seeking devote themselves to what is good for them and turn a deaf ear to what is bad for them.
2、翻译
铁匠家有一条狗,他打铁时,狗就睡觉,吃饭时狗便立刻跑到铁匠的身旁摇头摆尾,讨好主人。
铁匠扔给狗一块骨头,并说道:“你这家伙,总是贪睡。为什么那沉重的打铁声丝毫没影响你的睡眠,而我们吃饭时轻微的响动声却使你惊醒?”
这故事是说,那些唯利是图的人,对于自己有利的事专心致志,对自己无利的事则不闻不问。
四、孩子和青蛙
1、英文
Several children were playing by the pool. When they saw many frogs in the water, they hit them with stones. Several frogs were killed by them.
Then a frog put his head out of the water and said, "Kids, please don't fight any more. It's a game for you, but a life-threatening worry for us.
That is to say, don't build your happiness on the pain of others.
2、翻译
几个孩子在水潭边玩耍,看见水中有许多青蛙,便用石头去打他们。几只青蛙被他们打死了。
这时,一只青蛙从水中伸出头来说:“孩子们,请你们不要再打了。这对于你们来说是在做游戏,而对于我们却有性命之忧啊。”
这是说,不要把自己的快乐建筑在别人的痛苦上。
五、青蛙庸医
1、英文
A frog jumped out of his wet home in the depression and declared loudly to all the beasts, "I am a doctor who is skilled, able to cure all diseases and knowledgeable!"
A fox asked him, "You can't even cure your lame posture and wrinkled skin. How can you boast that you can cure someone else?"
The story is that judging people's knowledge and abilities requires listening to their words, watching their actions, and not being confused by their rhetoric.
2、翻译
一只青蛙从洼地里潮湿的家蹦了出来,大声对所有的野兽宣称:“我是一个医术高明、能治百病、博学多才的医生!”
一只狐狸问他:“你连自己跛足的姿势和起皱的皮都不能治,怎么还吹牛说能给别人治病呢?”
这故事是说判断人们的知识和才能需要听其言,观其行,不要被他的花言巧语所迷惑。
