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."

1、《鹦雀笑鹏》
As the legend goes, during ancient times, in the expansive open country of North China, there was a kind of birds called "rocs".
The roc was very huge, with its back like a big mountain, and its wings like a stretch of cloud which could cover the sky. When it spread its wings, it could break through a storm and soar at a height of 90,000 li (1/2 kilometre) in the sky towards the sea in the south.
A small bird called the quail1 bounced on the ground, free and happy. It looked up at the roc soaring in the sky and couldn't help laughing: "Hey, see how cocky you are! Look at me, one jump can take me over 10 chi. How delightful2! Every day I come and go amid these weeds and thickets3 and fly freely. Don't I fly quite well too? But, where can you fly to anyway?"
译文：传说，古时候中国北方的原野上有一种鸟，它的名字叫“鹏”。
鹏长得很大，背脊像一座大山，翅膀像一大片云，能把天空遮住。它张开翅膀能冲破风暴，在九万里高的天空中飞翔，一直飞向南方的大海。
有一只叫鹦雀的小鸟，在地上蹦蹦跳跳，自由自在，非常快活。它望着天空中展翅飞翔的大鹏，忍不住发笑，e799bee5baa6e79fa5e98193e4b893e5b19e333说：“咳，看你神气活现的!我呀，一蹦一跳，就有十几尺，多么痛快啊!我每天在这些杂草和树丛里，来来去去，自由飞翔，不也飞得挺好吗?可是，你又能飞到哪里去呢?”
2、《骗猎遭黑》
The deer feared the leopard1 cat, the leopard cat feared the tiger, and the tiger the brown bear.
The brown bear resembled the fox but was bigger in size. It had long fur on its head, and could stand up like man. It had great strength and would devour2 man.
In the south of the State of Chu, there was a hunter good at ventriloquy. With a bamboo pipe he could imitate the cries of various kinds of wild animals.
Once, carrying his bow, arrows and firearms, he quietly went hunting in the mountain.
Up on the mountain, he first imitated the cries of the deer to lure3 the horde4 of deer to come over, so that he could shoot at them with the firearms. The leopard cat heard the cries of the deer and came running to devour the deer. The hunter was afraid of the leopard cat, so he hurriedly imitated the roar of the tiger to scare away the leopard cat. Hardly had the leopard cat been scared away when the tiger heard the roar and came. At this moment, the hunter was even more frightened, so he imitated the cries of the brown bear. As a result, the tiger was scared away like the leopard cat.
Then, when the brown bear heard the cries, it came to look for its companions. Seeing that it was a man, the brown bear at once struck him with its front paws, and tore him up with its teeth. In a short while, the hunter was torn to pieces and devoured5 by the brown bear.
译文：鹿害怕驱，驱害怕老虎，老虎害怕黑。
黑像狐狸，但是体形比较大。它头上披着长毛，能够像人一样站立起来，力气很大，要要吃人。
楚国南方有一个猎人口技很好。他会用竹管来模仿各种野兽的叫声。
有一次，他拿着弓箭和火器悄悄上山打猎。
上山以后，他先学鹿的叫声，想引诱鹿群过来，再用火器射猎。驱一听是鹿叫，就快步跑来想吃鹿。猎人害怕，急忙又学虎啸来吓走它。驱刚刚被虎啸吓跑，可是老虎却闻声赶到了。这时候，猎人更加害怕，于是就学黑叫。结果，老虎也像驱一样逃跑了。
后来，黑听见叫声，就来寻找同伴。刚走到前面，它一看是一个人，就立刻用前爪打他，用牙齿撕他，不一会儿，把猎人撕成碎块吃掉了。
