The bulging belly fox

A hungry Fox found in a hollow tree a quantity of bread and meat, which some shepherds had placed there against their return. Delighted with his find he slipped in through the narrow aperture and greedily devoured it all. But when he tried to get out again he found himself so swollen after his big meal that he could not squeeze through the hole, and fell to whining and groaning over his misfortune. Another Fox, happening to pass that way, came and asked him what the matter was; and, on learning the state of the case, said, “Well, my friend, I see nothing for it but for you to stay where you are till you shrink to your former size; you’ll get out then easily enough.”

胀肚的狐狸

饥饿的狐狸在一棵中空的树干中发现了一些牧羊人存留的面包和肉。高兴之余，他立即通过那狭窄的缝隙挤进去，贪婪的大吃起来。然而，当他吃饱之后，却发现自己的肚子胀鼓鼓的，即便费了九牛二虎之力，却怎么也钻不出那个洞来，便在树洞里唉声叹气。另一只狐狸恰巧经过那里，听到他的呻吟，便过去问他原因。听明白缘由后，那只狐狸便说道：“我的朋友，你就老老实实待在里边吧，等到恢复了钻进去之前的身材，你就能轻松地出来了。”

【画蛇添足】

有个楚国贵族，在祭祀过祖宗后，把一壶祭酒赏给门客们喝。门客们拿着这壶酒，不知如何处理。他们觉得，这么多人喝一壶酒，肯定不够，还不如干脆给一个人喝，喝得痛痛快快还好些。可是到底给谁好呢?于是，门客们商量了一个好主意，就是每个人各自在地上画一条蛇，谁先画好了这壶酒就归谁喝。大家都同意这个办法。

门客们一人拿一根小棍，开始在地上画蛇。有一个人画得很快，不一会儿，他就把蛇画好了，于是他把酒壶拿了过来。正待他要喝酒时，他一眼瞅见其他人还没把蛇画完，他便十分得意地又拿起小棍，边自言自语地说：“看我再来给蛇添上几只脚，他们也未必画完。”边说边给画好的蛇画脚。

不料，这个人给蛇画脚还没完，手上的酒壶便被旁边一个人一把抢了过去，原来，那个人的蛇画完了。这个给蛇画脚的人不依，说：“我最先画完蛇，酒应归我喝!”那个人笑着说：“你到现在还在画，而我已完工，酒当然是我的!”画蛇脚的人争辩说：“我早就画完了，现在是趁时间还早，不过是给蛇添几只脚而已。”那人说：“蛇本来就没有脚，你要给它添几只脚那你就添吧，酒反正你是喝不成了!”

那人毫不客气地喝起酒来，那个给蛇画脚的人却眼巴巴看着本属自己而现在已被别人拿走的酒，后悔不已。

有些人自以为是，喜欢节外生枝，卖弄自己，结果往往弄巧成拙，不正像这个画蛇添足的人吗?

【邻人献玉】

魏国的一个农夫有一次在犁田时突然听到一声震响。他喝住耕牛，刨开土层一看，原来是犁铧撞上了一块直径一尺、光泽碧透的异石。农夫不知是玉，所以跑到附近田里请邻人过来观看。那邻人一看是块罕见的玉石，于是起了歹心。他编了一套谎话对农夫说：“这是个不祥之物，留着它迟早会生祸患。你不如把它扔掉。”农夫一时还拿不定主意。他心想：“这么漂亮的一块石头，假如不是怪石，扔掉了多么可惜。”农夫犹豫了一会儿，最后还是决定把它拿回家去，先摆在屋外的走廊上观察一下，看看到底是怎么一回事。

那天夜里，宝玉忽然光芒四射，把整个屋子照得像白昼一样。农夫全家人被这种神奇的景象惊呆了。农夫又跑去找那邻人。邻人趁机吓唬他说：“这就是石头里的妖魔在作怪。你只有马上把这块怪石扔掉才能消灾除祸!”听了这话以后，农夫急忙把玉石扔到了野地里。时隔不久，那邻人跑到野外把玉石搬回了自己的家。

第二天，那邻人拿这块玉石去献给魏王。魏王把玉工召来品评其价值。那玉工一见这块玉石，不觉大吃一惊。他急忙朝魏王跪下，连连叩头，然后起身对魏王说：“恭喜圣上洪福，您得到了一块稀世珍宝。我虽然当了这么多年的玉工，还从来没有见过这样大、这样好的玉石。”魏王问：“这块玉石值多少钱?”玉工说：“这是一件无价之宝，难以用金钱计算它的价值。世上的繁华都市里有各种各样的玉石，但没有哪一块能与它媲美。”魏王听了这话以后大喜，当即赏给献玉者一千斤黄金，同时还赐予他终生享用大夫俸禄的待遇。

狡诈的人因骗取的玉石而受赏食禄，而善良的穷苦人却还蒙在鼓里一点也不知道。

【良臣尹绰】

尹绰和赦(she)厥同在赵简子手下做官，赦厥为人圆滑，会见风使舵，看主人的脸色行事，从来不说让主子不高兴的话。尹绰就不是这样，他性格率直，对主子忠心耿耿尽职尽责。

一次赵简子带尹绰、赦厥及其他随从外出打猎，一只灰色的大野兔窜出来，赵简子命随从全部出动，策马追捕野兔子，谁抓到野兔谁受上奖。众随从奋力追捕野兔，结果踩坏了一大片庄稼。野兔子抓到了，赵简子十分高兴，对抓到野兔的随从大加奖励。尹绰表示反对，批评赵简子的做法不妥。赵简子不高兴地说：“这个随从听从命令，动作敏捷，能按我的旨意办事，我为什么不能奖励他呢?”尹绰说：“他只知道讨好您而不顾老百姓种的庄稼，这种人不值得奖励。当然，错误的根源应该是在您的身上，您不提出那样的要求，他也不会那样去做。”赵简子心里闷闷不乐。

又一次，赵简子因头天晚上饮酒过多，醉卧不起，直到第二天已近晌午，仍在醉梦中。这时，楚国一位贤人应赵简子3月前的邀请前来求见，赦厥接待了那位贤人。为了不打扰赵简子睡觉，赦厥婉言推辞了那位楚国人的求见，结果使那位贤人扫兴而去。赵简子直睡到黄昏才醒来，赦厥除了关心赵简子是否睡得香甜外，对来人求见的事只是轻描淡写地敷衍了几句。

赵简子常对手下人说：“赦厥真是我的好助手，他真心爱护我，从不肯在别人面前批评我的过错，深怕伤害了我。可是尹绰就不是这样，他对我的一点缺点都毫不放过，哪怕是当着许多人的面也对我吹毛求疵，一点也不顾及我的面子。”

尹绰听到这些话后，依然不放过赵简子。他又跑去找赵简子，他对赵简子说：“您的话错了!作为臣下，就应帮助完善您的谋略和您的为人。赦厥从不批评您，他从不留心您的过错，更不会教您改错。我呢，总是注意您的处世为人及一举一动，凡有不检点或不妥之处，我都要给您指出来，好让您及时纠正，这样我才算尽到了臣子的职责。如果我连您的丑恶的一面也加以爱护，那对您有什么益处呢?丑恶有什么可爱的呢?如果您的丑恶越来越多，那又如何能保持您美好的形象和尊严呢?”

赵简子听了，似有所悟。

可见，真正的爱护并不是一味讨好，而是在发现对方的缺点错误后，能真心指出并帮助其改正，使之不断完美起来。

【割席断交】

管宁和华歆(xin)在年轻的时候，是一对非常要好的朋友。他俩成天形影不离，同桌吃饭、同榻读书、同床睡觉，相处得很和谐。

有一次，他俩一块儿去劳动，在菜地里锄草。两个人努力干着活，顾不得停下来休息，一会儿就锄好了一大片。

只见管宁抬起锄头，一锄下去，“噹”一下，碰到了一个硬东西。管宁好生奇怪，将锄到的一大片泥土翻了过来。黑黝黝的泥土中，有一个黄澄澄的东西闪闪发光。管宁定睛一看，是块黄金，他就自言自语地说了句：“我当是什么硬东西呢，原来是锭金子。”接着，他不再理会了，继续锄他的草。

“什么?金子!”不远处的华歆听到这话，不由得心里一动，赶紧丢下锄头奔了过来，拾起金块捧在手里仔细端详。

管宁见状，一边挥舞着手里的锄头干活，一边责备华歆说：“钱财应该是靠自己的辛勤劳动去获得，一个有道德的人是不可以贪图不劳而获的财物的。”

华歆听了，口里说：“这个道理我也懂。”手里却还捧着金子左看看、右看看，怎么也舍不得放下。后来，他实在被管宁的目光盯得受不了了，才不情愿地丢下金子回去干活。可是他心里还在惦记金子，干活也没有先前努力，还不住地唉声叹气。管宁见他这个样子，不再说什么，只是暗暗地摇头。

又有一次，他们两人坐在一张席子上读书。正看得入神，忽然外面沸腾起来，一片鼓乐之声，中间夹杂着鸣锣开道的吆喝声和人们看热闹吵吵嚷嚷的声音。于是管宁和华歆就起身走到窗前去看究竟发生了什么事。

原来是一位达官显贵乘车从这里经过。一大队随从佩带着武器、穿着统一的服装前呼后拥地保卫着车子，威风凛凛。再看那车饰更是豪华：车身雕刻着精巧美丽的图案，车上蒙着的车帘是用五彩绸缎制成，四周装饰着金线，车顶还镶了一大块翡翠，显得富贵逼人。

管宁对于这些很不以为然，又回到原处捧起书专心致志地读起来，对外面的喧闹完全充耳不闻，就好像什么都没有发生一样。

华歆却不是这样，他完全被这种张扬的声势和豪华的排场吸引住了。他嫌在屋里看不清楚，干脆连书也不读了，急急忙忙地跑到街上去跟着人群尾随车队细看。

管宁目睹了华歆的所作所为，再也抑制不住心中的叹惋和失望。等到华歆回来以后，管宁就拿出刀子当着华歆的面把席子从中间割成两半，痛心而决绝地宣布：“我们两人的志向和情趣太不一样了。从今以后，我们就像这被割开的草席一样，再也不是朋友了。”

真正的朋友，应该建立在共同的思想基础和奋斗目标上，一起追求、一起进步。如果没有内在精神的默契，只有表面上的亲热，这样的朋友是无法真正沟通和理解的，也就失去了做朋友的意义了。

Everyone agrees the dinner must be built around roast turkey stuffed with a bread dressing to absorb the tasty juices as it roasts. But as cooking varies with families and with the regions where one lives, it is not easy to get a consensus on the precise kind of stuffing for the royal bird.

乡村真美。此时正值夏季，田里的小麦都呈现金黄色而燕麦依然青绿。干草被堆放在低洼的草地上，广阔的树林围绕着

田野和草地，树林的中央有多处深邃的湖泊，在阳光最充足的地方矗立着一栋老旧的大宅邸。这栋宅邸被一条深长的壕沟所包围，茂盛的

叶子从这栋房子干部上的藤蔓往下长，延伸到河水的边缘。其中有一些叶子很大，小孩子可以拿它们来当雨伞。

在森林的深处有一只母鸭子坐在她的巢中，她的小鸭子们即将孵出来。

终于蛋一个接一个地开始裂了。 “吱，吱！”小鸭们叫着。“呱，呱！”母鸭回道。“这个世界好大啊！”小鸭子异口同声道。

The countryside was lovely. It was summer. The wheat was golden and the oats were still

green. The hay was stacked in the low-lying meadows. There lay great woods around the fields and meadows.

There were deep lakes in the midst of the woods. In the sunniest spot stood an old mansion surrounded by a deep moat.

Great leaves grew from the vines on the walls of the house right down to the waters edge.

Some of the leaves were so big that a child could use them as an umbrella.

In the depths of a forest a duck was sitting in her nest. Her little ducklings were about to be hatched.

At last one egg after another began to crack." Cheep, cheep!" the ducklings said." Quack, quack!" said the duck.

" How big the world is!" said all the young ones.

但最大的蛋依旧在那儿，于是她又再坐回她的巢中。

一只年长的鸭子过来拜访她说：“喂！你近来可好吗？”坐着的母鸭回答说：“这枚蛋花了很长的时间，

壳偏偏还不裂开，不过其他的小鸭都是最完美的鸭子，他们很像他们的爸爸。”

年长的鸭子说：“让我看看那枚不会裂开的蛋，你或许是坐在一枚火鸡的蛋上！我曾经像那样被骗过一次。不错，那是火鸡的蛋！

你最好不要管它，去教其它的小鸭游泳吧。”

“我要再多坐一会儿。”

But the biggest egg was still there. And then she settled herself on the nest again.

"Well, how are you getting on?" said an old duck who came to pay her a visit." This egg is taking such a long time," answered the sitting duck."

The shell will not crack, but the others are the finest ducklings. They are like their father."

"let me look at the egg which wont crack," said the old duck." You may be sitting on a turkeys egg!

I have been cheated like that once. Yes. its a turkeys egg!

You had better leave it alone and teach the other children to swim."

"I will sit on it a little longer."

终于这枚巨蛋裂开了。这小子可真是又大又丑！她说：“那是一只非常巨大的鸭子，其他的小鸭没有一只看起来像他一样。

他会是火鸡的孩子吗？我会尽快查清楚，我将叫他下水去。”

隔天这只母鸭带着她的一家人走到壕沟。

她跳入水中，“呱，呱，”她说，小鸭们一只接一只地跳进河里。

这只又大又丑的鸭子跟着他们一起游来游去，她说：“不是的，那不是火鸡。呱，呱！现在跟我来，我将带你们去参观这个世界，

要一直靠近我并小心猫！”第一天过去了，一切都还顺利。

At last the big egg cracked. How big and ugly the baby was! " That is a very big duckling." she said,

" None of the others look like that. Can he be a turkeys chick?

I will soon find out. I will make him go into water."

The next day the mother duck with her family went down to the moat. She said, and one duckling jumped in after another.

The big ugly one swam about with them." No, that is no turkey," she said," Quack, quack! Now come with me

and I will take you into the world. Keep close to me all the time. Be careful of the cat!"

The first day passed, and everything was fine.

之后，事情愈来愈糟。这只可怜的小鸭被所有的小鸭追逐和骚扰，因为他长得很丑。大鸭们咬他，母鸡们啄他，

而喂食他们的女孩把他踢到旁边去。于是他离家出走，不久就来到一片野鸭住的广阔沼泽。

他双疲倦又痛苦，因此他整晚都在那里。

早上这群野鸭们飞来看他们的新朋友。这些野鸭说：“你长得非常丑，但那对我们来说无所谓。”他在那里整整待了两天，

然后有两只野雁飞过来。就在那个时候，他听到“砰！砰！”的声音，那两只野雁摔落在芦苇丛中死了。

对这只可怜的小鸭子来说，那是一项很可怕的冲击。

Afterwards, matters grew worse and worse. The poor duckling was chased and harassed by all the ducklings because he was very ugly.

The ducks bit him, the hens pecked him. and the girl who fed them kicked him aside. Then he ran off and soon came to a great marsh where the wild ducks lived.

He was so tired and miserable that he stayed there the whole night.

In the morning the wild ducks flew up to see their new friend." You are very ugly," said the wild ducks," but that does not matter to us."

He stayed there two whole days . And then two wild geese came.

Just at that moment the sound of "Bang! Bang!" was heard, and both the wild geese fell dead among the reeds.

It was a terrible shock to the poor duckling.

一只巨大的狗出现在他的身边，离他很近。这只狗露出锐利的牙齿，继续往前走，没有碰他。

这只小鸭叹息说：“哦，谢谢老天爷！我是这么丑，因此连狗都不会咬我！”

晚上他来到一间小屋。这间小屋住着一位老婆婆和她的猫及母鸡。她的视力不好，以为这只小鸭是一只肥鸭。

她说：“要是我有了鸭蛋，我就发财了，”因此她留这只小鸭住了3个星期，但他并没有下蛋。

这只猫是这间房子的主人，而这只母鸡是女主人。

A big dog appeared close beside him. He showed his sharp teeth and went on without touching him.

"Oh, thank Heaven! I am so ugly that even the dog wont bite me!"

sighed the duckling.

In the evening he reached a little cottage where an old woman lived with her cat and her hen.

Her eyesight was not good, and she thought the duckling was a fat duck.

"I will be rich if I have duck eggs," she said.

So she took in the duckling for three weeks, but he laid no eggs.The cat was the master of the house

and the hen was the mistress.

母鸡说：“你能不能下蛋呢？”

小鸭回答说：“不能。”

这只猫说：“那么你最好离开到外面广阔的世界去。”就这样这只小鸭离开了。

有一天晚上，太阳刚刚下山，此时有一群漂亮的大鸟从矮树丛飞出来。

小鸭心想：“我从来没有看过这么漂亮的东西。”

"Can you lay eggs?" asked the hen.

"No," answered the duckling.

"Then you had better go out into the wide world," said the cat. So away went the duckling.

One evening the sun was just setting when a flock of beautiful large birds appeared out of the bushes.

The duckling thought," Ive never seen anything so beautiful."

他们有长长的脖子，全身是令人眩目的白色。他们是天鹅，他并不知道这些鸟是什么鸟。

冬天非常地寒冷刺骨，因此这只小鸭在水中游来游去以免冻僵了。

太阳又开始温暖地照耀着，云雀在歌唱，美丽的春天已经来临了。突然这只小鸭举起他的翅膀， 而翅膀拍动的力气要比以前大，

不知不觉中，他发觉自己已置身在一座巨大的花园里，花园里的苹果树开满了花，紫丁香长长的枝桠垂挂在湖岸边。

就在他的面前，他看到三只美丽的白天鹅向他游过来。

They were dazzlingly white with long necks. They were swans.

He did not know what the birds were.

The winter was so bitterly cold that the duckling swam about in the water to keep himself from freezing.

The sun began to shine warmly again. The larks were singing and beautiful spring had come.

Then, all at once, the duckling raised his wings and they flapped with much greater strength than before.

Before he knew it, he found himself in a large garden where the apple trees were in

full blossom and long branches of lilacs overhung the shores of the lake.

Just in front of him he saw three beautiful white swans swimming towards him.

“我将朝他们飞去而他们将会把我劈成粉碎，因为我长得非常丑。

不过没有关系，我宁愿被他们杀死也不愿被那些鸭子咬或是被那些母鸡啄。”

因此他飞入水中朝这些天鹅游过去，他们看到他就向他冲过来。

“杀死我吧，噢，杀死我吧！”可怜的小鸭说着朝水中低头，等待死亡的来临。

但他在清澈的水中看到什么样了呢？

"I will fly to them and they will hack me to pieces because I am so ugly.

But it doesnt matter. I would rather be killed by them than be bitten by the ducks or pecked by the hens."

So he flew into the water and swam towards the swans. They saw him and darted towards him.

"Kill me! Oh, kill me!" said the poor duckling,

and he waited for his death bowing his head towards the water.

But what did he see in the clear water? He was no longer a dark gray ugly bird.

他不再是只黑灰丑陋的鸟，他竟然是一只天鹅！

有些小孩手拿玉米和面包来到这个花园，将这些东西投入水中。

个子最小的那个孩子兴高采烈地大叫：“有一只新来的天鹅。”其他的孩子大叫：

“对啊！来了一只新的。”

他对着自己说：“当我是那只丑小鸭的时候，我从来也没梦想过我能够这么快乐！”

He was himself a swan!

Some children came into the garden with corn and pieces of bread, which they threw into the water.

The smallest child shouted with joy," There is a new one."

The other children shouted, "Yes, a new one has come."

He said to himself,

" I never dreamed that I could be so happy when I was the ugly duckling!"

When a couple gets married, it is natural for them to receive wishes from

relatives and friends. Recently, a young couple showed the message of their

coming wedding, but the public criticized the man, because they believed he was

committing crime as he fell in love with a girl when she was 8 years old.

The man and the little girl’s story seems to be romantic. But thinking of

the girl’s young age when they met, and she was just a little girl, it is

unbelievable. Though now she is almost 18, their story worries so many parents.

They are so afraid of the negative information releases to the young children,

when they don’t know the concept of love. From 8 to 18, the girl’s growing

period is accompanied by this man who is much older than her, while I don’t

favor of this way.

The girl was misled by the wrong conception. Someone told her when she was

18, they would be married. As she is young and innocent, even she is 18, she

doesn’t have much chance to see the variety of the world. The way she sees the

world is misled by this elder man.

A child’s growing up should be natural and led by the right value.

This is aWormwhose body is no less than one millimeter. It is called 熊虫(XC) perhaps forthe reason that it looks like a black bear under the microscop. The XC usuallyhabited in the slurry of fresh water, wet soil and the 水膜 of moss plants.Recently, there was an amazing news discovered by 日本冈山大学物理学家小野文久: when 20 littleXC were placed in a sealed container under the 7.5 万个大气压 making inexperiment condition, there were only two died and the other 18 have no troubleat all. 7.5 万个大气压, equal to over 700 kilogram stress per square meter, which is powerfulenough to它足以上淀粉瞬间变性 and the rice ready to eat.

A snake, having made his hole close to the door of a cottage, inflicted a sever bite on the cottagers little son. So the child died.

This caused much sorrow to his parents. The father decided to kill the snake. The next day, on its coming out of its hole for food, he took up his ax, but, making too much haste to hit the snake, missed its head, and cut off only the end of its tail.

After some time the cottager, lest the snake should also bite him, tried to make peace, and placed some bread and salt beside its hole, the snake, slightly hissing, said, "From now on there can be no peace between us; for whenever I see you I shall remember the loss of my tail, and whenever you see me you will be thinking of the death of your son."

No one truly forgets injuries in the presence of him who caused the injury.

有条蛇在一家农舍的门边打了个洞，并把主人的小孩咬了一口，孩子就一命呜呼。

这对夫妇痛不欲生。孩子的父亲决意弄死那条蛇。第二天，当蛇出洞觅食之时，他举起斧头就砍那条蛇。可惜太操之过急，没砍中蛇头，只砍断了尾巴。

过了一阵子，屋主很害怕那条蛇会以牙还牙，就想同蛇讲和，于是就将一些面包和盐放在洞口。那条蛇发出丝丝的声音作出回答：“从今以后，在我们之间不会有和平。因为我一看到你，就会想自己被砍掉的尾巴;同样当你见到我时， 你会想起你死去的儿子。”

面对伤害过自己的人，我们难以真正忘记有过的创痛。

：

有两个贫苦的樵夫靠上山捡柴糊口，有一天，他们在山里发现两大包棉花，两人喜出望外。棉花轻且贵，当下俩人各背了一包棉花赶路回家。

There once were two poor woodsmen who made a living by collecting woods in the mountain。 One day， they happened to discover two large bag of cotton in the mountain and felt surprisingly happy。 The cotton was light but valuable， so they carried it on their back and went back home。

走着走着，其中一名樵夫眼尖，看到山路上扔着一大捆布，他就和同伴商量。扔下棉花，背布回家。他的同伴却有不同的看法，认为自己背着棉花已走了一大段，到了这里丢下棉花，岂不枉费了先前的辛苦，坚持不愿换布。发现布的樵夫则尽其所能背起布走。又走了一段路，背布的樵夫望见不远处的地上散落着数坛黄金。心想这下真的发财了，赶忙用挑柴的扁担挑黄金。他的同伴仍是不愿丢下棉花，并怀疑黄金不是真的。发现黄金的樵夫只好自己挑了两坛黄金，和背棉花的伙伴赶紧回家。

When they were walking home， one of the woodsmen spotted a large bundle of cloth beside the road。 So he discussed with his partner whether to discard the cotton and take the cloth instead。 But his partner held a different view that since he had carried the cotton for such a long way， he would not change it with cloth because all his previous effort would turn out to be in vain。 Therefore， the other woodsman abandoned the cotton and carried the cloth on his back。 After walking for a while， the woodsman who carried the cloth spotted several jars of gold disseminated on the ground not far away。 He felt so thrilled that he was going to be a wealthy man。 So he gave up the cloth and used his carrying pole to carry two jars of gold， while his partner was still reluctant to abandon the cotton and wondering whether the gold was real or not。

谁知道刚走到山下。天竟下起雨来，俩人在空旷处被淋了个透。更为不幸的是，背棉花的樵夫背上的棉花，吸饱了雨水。重得背不动，实在不得已，只能丢下一路辛苦舍不得放弃的棉花，空着手和挑金子的同伴回家去了。

However， when they just went down to the foot of the mountain， it began to rain all of a sudden。 Both of them were wet from head to toes。 More unfortunately， the woodsman who carried the cotton found that his cotton had absorbed tons of water and became so heavy that he could no longer go on carrying it。 Desperately， he had to abandon the cotton and went back home empty—handed with his partner carrying gold。

在人生的每个关键时刻，谨慎地运用智慧，做最正确的选择，同时别忘了及时审视选择的角度，适时调整。要学会从各个不同的角度全面研究问题，放掉无谓的固执。冷静地用开放的心胸做正确抉择。每次正确无误的抉择将指引你走在通往成功的坦途上。

This story implies that we should deliberately utilize our wisdom and intelligence to make the right choice in face of every critical point in our life。 Meantime， we should not forget to review all the choices we have carefully and adjust our goal accordingly。 We should learn to view a certain issue from different angles and avoid being stubborn。 By opening your mind to the right choice， you will be guided to a smoother way to success。

雄鹰

A boy found an eagles egg and he put it in the nest of a prairie chicken. The eagle hatched and thought he was a chicken. He grew up doing what prairie chicken do-scratching at the dirt for food and flying short distances with a noisy fluttering of wings. It was a dreary life. Gradually the eagle grew older and bitter. One day he and his prairie chicken friend saw a beautiful bird soaring on the currents of air, high above the mountains.

"Oh, I wish I could fly like that!" said the eagle. The chicken replied, "Dont give it another thought. Thats the mighty eagle, the king of all birds-you could never be like him!" And the eagle didnt give it another thought. He went on cackling and complaining about life. He died thinking he was a prairie chicken. My friends, you too were born an eagle. The Creator intended you to be an eagle, so don’t listen to the prairie chickens!

一个小男孩发现了一只老鹰下的蛋，把它放进了一只山鸡的窝里。鹰被孵出来了，但他以为自己是一只山鸡。渐渐的他长大了，却做着山鸡所做的事---从泥土里寻找食物，做短距离的飞翔，翅膀还啪啪作响。生活非常沉闷，渐渐地鹰长大了，也越来越苦恼。有一天，他和他的山鸡朋友看见一只美丽的鸟在天空翱翔，飞的比山还高。

“哦，我要能飞的那么高该多好啊！”鹰说。山鸡回答说，“不要想了，那是凶猛无比的鹰，鸟中之王---你不可能像他一样！”于是鹰放弃了那个念头。他继续咯咯地叫，不停的抱怨生活。最后他死了，依然认为自己是一只山鸡。朋友们，你们天生就是雄鹰。造物主有意把你造就成一只雄鹰，所以不要听信山鸡的话！

Everyone had a good laugh, and soon we were all telling stories of our most embarrassing moments. It came around to Frank who sat quietly listening to the others. Someone said, "Come on, Frank. Tell us your most embarrassing moment."

Frank laughed and began to tell us of his childhood. "I grew up in San Pedro. My Dad was a fisherman, and he loved the sea. He had his own boat, but it was hard making a living on the sea. He worked hard and would stay out until he caught enough to feed the family. Not just enough for our family, but also for his Mom and Dad and the other kids that were still at home."

"Me? How about me ?" the ox says

"You can only plough or draw a cart," the dog slightly says. "Yes. Its true," the ox says. "But if I dont plough, what do you guard?"

从前，楚国有一户人家，祭完祖宗以后，把一壶祭祀时用过的酒，赏给帮助办事的人喝。

办事的人很多，可是酒只有一壶，到底给谁喝呢?有人提议说：“各人都在地上画一条蛇，谁画得快、画得像，就把这壶酒给谁喝。” 大家都认为这个办法很好。

有一个人画得很快，一转眼，就把蛇画好了。这壶酒应该归他。可是，这时候，他看看别人都没有画好，就想再炫耀一下自己的能耐。他得意洋洋地说：“你们画得多慢啊，让我再画上几只蛇脚吧!”

他左手拿着酒壶，右手又开始给画好了的蛇添上脚。当他正在添足的时候，另一个人却把蛇画好了，而且立刻把酒壶夺了过去，说：“蛇是没有脚的，你怎么画上了脚?第一个画好蛇的是我，不是你哩!”

那人说完话，就心安理得地喝起酒来。

画蛇添足的成语故事告诉我们，我们做事不能多此一举，因为可能会造成你失去一些东西。无论做什么事情都要尊重客观事实，实事求是。要不然只会弄巧成拙，成为大家茶余饭后的笑谈。

In 1882 a baby girl caught a fever that was so fierce she nearly died. She survived but the fever left its mark she could no longer see or hear. Because she could not hear she also found it very difficult to speak.

1882年，一名女婴因高发烧差点丧命。她虽幸免于难，但发烧给她留下了后遗症 她再也看不见、听不见。因为听不见，她想讲话也变得很困难。

So how did this child, blinded and deafened at 19 months old, grow up to become a world-famous author and public speaker?

那么这样一个在19个月时就既盲又聋的孩子，是如何成长为享誉世界的作家和演说家的呢？

The fever cut her off from the outside world, depriving her of sight and sound. It was as if she had been thrown into a dark prison cell from which there could be no release.

高烧将她与外界隔开，使她失去了视力和声音。她仿佛置身在黑暗的牢笼中无法摆脱。

Luckily Helen was not someone who gave up easily. Soon she began to explore the world by using her other senses. She followed her mother wherever she went, hanging onto her skirts, She touched and smelled everything she came across. She copied their actions and was soon able to do certain jobs herself, like milking the cows or kneading dough, She even learnt to recognize people by feeling their faces or their clothes. She could also tell where she was in the garden by the smell of the different plants and the feel of the ground under her feet.

万幸的是海伦并不是个轻易认输的人。不久她就开始利用其它的感官来探查这个世界了。她跟着母亲，拉着母亲的衣角，形影不离。她去触摸，去嗅各种她碰到的物品。她模仿别人的动作且很快就能自己做一些事情，例如挤牛奶或揉面。她甚至学会*摸别人的脸或衣服来识别对方。她还能*闻不同的植物和触摸地面来辨别自己在花园的位置。

By the age of seven she had invented over 60 different signs by which she could talk to her family, If she wanted bread for example, she would pretend to cut a loaf and butter the slices. If she wanted ice cream she wrapped her arms around herself and pretended to shiver.

七岁的时候她发明了60多种不同的手势，*此得以和家里人交流。比如她若想要面包，就会做出切面包和涂黄油的动作。想要冰淇淋时她会用手裹住自己装出发抖的样子。

Helen was unusual in that she was extremely intelligent and also remarkably sensitive. By her own efforts she had managed to make some sense of an alien and confusing world. But even so she had limitations.

海伦在这方面非比一般，她绝顶的聪明又相当敏感。通过努力她对这个陌生且迷惑的世界有了一些知识。但她仍有一些有足。

At the age of five Helen began to realize she was different from other people. She noticed that her family did not use signs like she did but talked with their mouths. Sometimes she stood between two people and touched their lips. She could not understand what they said and she could not make any meaningful sounds herself. She wanted to talk but no matter how she tried she could not make herself understood. This make her so angry that she used to hurl herself around the room, kicking and screaming in frustration.   海伦五岁时开始意识到她与别人不同。她发现家里的其他人不用象她那样做手势而是用嘴交谈。有时她站在两人中间触摸他们的嘴唇。她不知道他们在说什么，而她自己不能发出带有含义的声音。她想讲话，可无论费多大的劲儿也无法使别人明白自己。这使她异常懊恼以至于常常在屋子里乱跑乱撞，灰心地又踢又喊。

As she got older her frustration grew and her rages became worse and worse. She became wild and unruly . If she didnt get what she wanted she would throw tantrums until her family gave in. Her favourite tricks included grabbing other peoples food from their plates and hurling fragile objects to the floor. Once she even managed to lock her mother into the pantry. Eventually it became clear that something had to be done. So, just before her seventh birthday, the family hired a private tutor Anne Sullivan.

随着年龄的增长她的怒气越为越大。她变得狂野不驯。倘若她得不到想要的东西就会大发脾气直到家人顺从。她惯用的手段包括抓别人盘里的食物以及将易碎的东西猛扔在地。有一次她甚至将母亲锁在厨房里。这样一来就得想个办法了。于是，在她快到七岁生日时，家里便雇了一名家庭教师 安尼沙利文。

Anne was careful to teach Helen especially those subjects in which she was interested. As a result Helen became gentler and she soon learnt to read and write in Braille. She also learnt to read peoples lips by pressing her finger-tips against them and feeling the movement and vibrations. This method is called Tadoma and it is a skill that very, very few people manage to acquire. She also learnt to speak, a major achievement for someone who could not hear at all.

安尼悉心地教授海伦，特别是她感兴趣的东西。这样海伦变得温和了而且很快学会了用布莱叶盲文朗读和写作。*用手指接触说话人的嘴唇去感受运动和震动，她又学会了触唇意识。这种方法被称作泰德马，是一种很少有人掌握的技能。她也学会了讲话，这对失聪的人来说是个巨大的成就。

Helen proved to be a remarkable scholar, graduating with honours from Radcliffe College in 1904. She had phenomenal powers of concentration and memory, as well as a dogged determination to succeed. While she was still at college she wrote ‘The Story of My Life. This was an immediate success and earned her enough money to buy her own house.

海伦证明了自己是个出色的学者，1904年她以优异的成绩从拉德克利夫学院毕业。她有惊人的注意力和记忆力，同时她还具有不达目的誓不罢休的毅力。上大学时她就写了《我的生命》。这使她取得了巨大的成功从而有能力为自己购买一套住房。

She toured the country, giving lecture after lecture. Many books were written about her and several plays and films were made about her life. Eventually she became so famous that she was invited abroad and received many honours from foreign universities and monarchs. In 1932 she became a vice-president of the Royal National Institute for the Blind in the United Kingdom.

她周游全国，不断地举行讲座。她的事迹为许多人著书立说而且还上演了关于她的生平的戏剧和电影。最终她声名显赫，应邀出国并受到外国大学和国王授予的荣誉。1932年，她成为英国皇家国立盲人学院的副校长。

After her death in 1968 an organization was set up in her name to combat blindness in the developing world. Today that agency, Helen Keller International, is one of the biggest organizations working with blind people overseas.

1968年她去世后，一个以她的名字命名的组织建立起来，该组织旨在与发展中国家存在的失明缺陷做斗争。如今这所机构，“国际海伦凯勒”，是海外向盲人提供帮助的最大组织之一。

One day, a colt carried a bag of wheat to the mill.

As he was running with the bag on his back, he came to a small river. Water went gurgling on. The colt could not decide whether he could cross it. Looking around, he saw a cow grazing nearby. He asked, "Uncle Cow, could you tell me if I can cross the river?" the cow told him that he could and that the river was not very deep, just to his knees.

The colt was crossing the river when a squirrel jumped down a tree and stopped him. The squirrel shouted, "Colt, stop! Youll be drowned! One of my friends was drowned yesterday just in the river." Not knowing what to do, the colt went home to consult his mom.

He told his mom his experience on the way. His mother said, "My child, dont always listen to others. Youd better go and try yourself. Then youll know what to do."

Just at the river, the squirrel stopped the colt again. "Little horse, its too dangerous!" "No, I want to have a try by myself", answered the colt. Then he crossed the river carefully. On the other side of the river, the colt realized that the river was neither as shallow as the cow said nor as as deep as the squirrel told him.

The fable tells us a truth: real knowledge comes from practices.

一天， 老马让小马驮着半口袋麦子到磨坊去磨面。

小马驮着口袋朝着磨坊跑去。忽然，一天小河挡住了去路，河水哗哗地流着。小马为难了，怎么办呢?它向四周望了望，看见一头老牛在河边吃草。小马问道：“牛伯伯，请您告诉我，这条河我能趟过去吗?”老牛说：“能。谁很浅，刚没小腿。”

小马听了老牛的话，正准备过河，突然丛树上跳下一只松鼠，拦住它大叫道：“小马，别过河!河水会把你淹死的。昨天，我的一个伙伴就是掉到这条河里淹死的!”小马不知如何是好，决定回家问妈妈。

小马把路上的经历告诉了妈妈。妈妈说：“孩子，光听别人说是不行的，你自己亲自去试一试，就知道答案了。”

小马回到河边，刚要下水，松鼠又大叫起来：“小马，你不要命啦?”小马说：“让我试试吧。”它一面回答一面下了河，小心地趟了过去。原来河水既不像老牛说的那样浅也不像松鼠说的那样深。

这则寓言告诉我们:实践出真知。

你听说过害的女儿的故事么。如果没有，快来看看吧。

"Yes, you are dear to me," said the prince; "for you have the best heart, and you are the most devoted to me; you are like a young maiden whom I once saw, but whom I shall never meet again. I was in a ship that was wrecked, and the waves cast me ashore near a holy temple, where several young maidens performed the service. The youngest of them found me on the shore, and saved my life. I saw her but twice, and she is the only one in the world whom I could love; but you are like her, and you have almost driven her image out of my mind. She belongs to the holy temple, and my good fortune has sent you to me instead of her;we will never part."

“是的,你是我最亲爱的人!”王子说,“因为你在一切人中有一颗最善良的心。你对我是最亲爱的,你很像我某次看到过的一个年轻女子,可是我永远再也看不见她了。那时我是坐在一艘船上——这船已经沉了。巨浪把我推到一个神庙旁的岸上。有几个年轻女子在那儿作祈祷。她们最年轻的一位在岸旁发现了我,因此救了我的生命。我只看到过她两次:她是我在这世界上能够爱的唯一的人,但是你很像她,你几乎代替了她留在我的灵魂中的印象。她是属于这个神庙的,因此我的幸运特别把你送给我。让我们永远不要分离吧!”

"Ah, he knows not that it was I who saved his life," thought the little mermaid. "I carried him over the sea to the wood where the temple stands: I sat beneath the foam, and watched till the human beings came to help him. I saw the pretty maiden that he loves better than he loves me;" and the mermaid sighed deeply, but she could not shed tears. "He says the maiden belongs to the holy temple, therefore she will never return to the world. They will meet no more: while I am by his side, and see him every day. I will take care of him, and love him, and give up my life for his sake."

“啊,他却不知道我救了他的生命!”小人鱼想。“我把他从海里托出来,送到神庙所在的一个树林里。我坐在泡沫后面,窥望是不是有人会来。我看到那个美丽的姑娘——他爱她胜过于爱我。”这时小人鱼深深地叹了一口气——她哭不出声来。“那个姑娘是属于那个神庙的——他曾说过。她永不会走向这个人间的世界里来——他们永不会见面了。我是跟他在一起,每天看到他的。我要照看他,热爱他,对他献出我的生命!”

Very soon it was said that the prince must marry, and that the beautiful daughter of a neighboring king would be his wife, for a fine ship was being fitted out. Although the prince gave out that he merely intend
