said that he was sick on his death bed. So he
asked all the animals to come
and
listen to his last wishes. the goat came to the
lion’s cave. He stood there and listened for a
long time. then a sheep went in. Before
she came out, a rabbit entered to hear the last
wishes of
the king of beasts. But soon
the lion seemed to recover, and went to the mouth
of his cave. He
saw
a
fox
waiting
outside.
don’t
you
come
in?“
asked
the
lion
to
the
fox.
“I
beg
Your
Majesty’s pardon,“ said the fox, “I
have seen many animals enter your cave, but none
of them
come out. Till they come out
again, I prefer to wait outside.

The Wind And
The Sun
One day the wind said to the sun, “Look
at that man walking along the road. I can get his
cloak off more quickly than you can.”
“We will see about that,” said the sun. “I will
let you try
first.” So the wind tried
to make the man take off his cloak. He blew and
blew, but the man only
pulled his cloak
more closely around himself. “I give up,” said the
wind at last. “I cannot get his
cloak
off.” T

hard as he could. The man soon became hot and took
off his cloak.

A Wolf in sheep's clothing
A wolf wanted
to eat the sheep, but he was afraid of the
vigilant shepherd and his dogs.
One day
the wolf found the skin of a sheep. He put it on
and walked among the sheep. A lamb
thought that the wolf was its mother
because his skin looked like hers. So it followed
the wolf.
Soon after they had left the
dogs, the wolf came at the lamb and ate it up. For
some time he
succeeded in deceiving the
sheep, and enjoying hearty meals.

给猫挂铃铛
很久以前，房子里有只大猫。他抓住了许多偷吃粮食的老鼠。
一天，
老鼠们开会讨论对付猫的办法。有的说这样，
有有的说那样。最后一只
小老鼠站起来，
说他有一个好
办法：
我们给猫的脖子上拴一个铃当，当猫走近的时候，
我们<
/p>
就可以听到铃声，就可以逃跑了。
每个老
鼠都同意这个建议，
但是一只老老鼠站起来说：
那谁去给猫戴上
铃当呢
?
老鼠们你看我，我看你，没人出声了。

粪堆里的小鸟
一只小鸟飞到南方去过冬。天很冷，小鸟几乎冻僵了。于是，
飞到一大块空地上，一头
牛经过那儿，拉了一堆牛粪在小鸟的身上，冻僵的小鸟躺在粪堆
里，觉得很温暖，
渐渐苏醒
过来，它温暖而舒服的躺着，不久唱
起歌来，一只路过的野猫听到声音，走过去看个究竟，
循着声音，野猫很快发现了躺在粪
堆里的小鸟，把它拽出来吃掉了。
生存之道：不是每个
往你身上拉大粪的人都是你的敌人。
也不是每个把你从粪堆里拉出来的
人都是你的朋友，
还
有，当你躺在粪堆里时，最好把你的嘴闭上
。
How Can I Pay
You
One day, a poor man is taking a bag
of rice to a town. The rice is on the back of his
horse but
it
falls
down.
The
rice
is
too
heavy
to
lift
and
he
doesn’t
know
what
to
do.
He
only
hopes
someone can give him some help.
After a while, a man riding a horse
comes. But he is a rich man living nearby. The
poor man
hopes another farmer will
come. But the rich man sees him and says to him,
“You need my help,
right?” And he helps
the poor man lift the rice onto the horse’s
back.
“Sir, how can
I
repay you?” the poor man
says.
“It’s easy, when you
see anyone else in trouble, do the same for
him.”

你需要帮助，
对吗
?”
他帮穷人把米抬到马背上。

金丝雀与蝙蝠
A
bird was
confined
in
a
cage
outside a
window.
She
often
sang
at
night
when
all other
birds were asleep.
One night a bat came. He asked the bird
why she was silent by day and sang only at night.
The bird answered, “Last
year when I was singing in the daytime, a bird
catcher heard my
voice and caught me in
his then I have never sung by day.”
The bat replied,
flew away.
金丝雀与蝙蝠
●
挂在窗口笼里的金丝雀，经常在鸟儿睡着的夜里歌唱。
●
一天晚上，蝙蝠来了，飞过来问她为什么
白天安静无声，夜里却要歌唱。
●
金
丝雀回答说：
“
去年我在白天唱歌时，捕鸟人听到我的歌声抓住
了我。
从此，
我再也不在
白天唱歌了。
”
●
蝙蝠说
：
“
你现在才懂得谨慎已没用了，你若在变为囚徒之前就懂得，
那该多好呀
!”
说完就
飞走了。
寓意
:
我们应该
在危险发生之前就提高警觉，因为危险一旦发生，我们再怎样小心也没有用
了
Quarrel for a comb
There are two monks. They are not
brothers but they live in the same house. Every
morning
they go out to look for some
food.
One day, they go out very early.
They are on a road to a village. It is too early
and there are
no people on the road.
They are walking. Suddenly, they stop. There is a
comb on the road near
them. They are
running up to it at the same time.
“I
found it first. It is mine.” One of them
says.
They sit on the road. They are
quarrelling for the comb. Morning comes and then
comes
the afternoon. But they are still
quarrelling.
A little boy
comes up to them and says, “You are monks. Monks
have no hair. What is the
use of the
comb for you?”
