(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.”

　　(有一天风跟太阳说: “看看那个沿着路上走的人.我可以比你快让他把披风脱下来.)

　　“We will see about that,” said the sun. “I will let you try first.”

　　(“我们等着看吧,”太阳说, “我让你先试.)

　　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.

　　(因此风尝试让那个人把披风脱下来.他用力地吹,可是那个人把披风拉得更紧.)

　　“I give up,” said the wind at last. “I cannot get his cloak off.” Then the sun tried. He shone as hard as he could. The man soon became hot and took off his cloak.

　　(“我放弃了,”风最后说, “我无法让他把披风脱下来.”然后由太阳试试看.他尽可能地晒他.不久,那个人很热就把披风脱下来了.)

　　Two bees met in a field. One said to the other, "How are things going?" "Really bad," said the second bee. "The weather has been cold, wet and damp, and there aren't any flowers, so I can't make honey."

　　两只蜜蜂在一块田里相遇了。一只说：“最近怎么样啊?”“不怎么样。”另一只说，“天气凉了又潮湿，花都不开了，我也没法采蜜了。”

　　"No problem," said the first bee. "Just fly down five blocks and turn left. Keep going until you see all the cars. There's a Bar Mitzvah going on and there are all kinds of fresh flowers and fresh fruit."

　　“没事的，”第一只蜜蜂说，“飞五个街区然后左转。看到汽车之前都一直向前飞。有一个戒酒会，那里有各种鲜花和水果。”

　　"Thanks for the tip," said the second bee, and flew away.

　　“谢啦，”第二只蜜蜂说，飞走了。

　　A few hours later the two bees ran into each other again. The first bee asked, "How'd it go?"

　　几个小时后这两只蜜蜂又相遇了。第一只蜜蜂问：“怎么样啊?”

　　"Great!" said the second bee. "It was everything you said it would be. There was plenty of fruit and, oh, such huge floral arrangements on every table."

　　“太棒了!”第二只蜜蜂说，“你说的都成真了。有好多水果，每张桌子上都有许多盛开的花。”

　　"Uh, what's that thing on your head?" asked the first bee.

　　“哦，你头顶上是什么?”第一只蜜蜂说。

　　"That's my yarmulke," said the second bee. "I didn't want them to think I was a WASP."

　　“是我的圆顶小帽，”第二只蜜蜂说。“我不想让他们觉得我是一个易动怒的人。”

　　注：WASP有两重含义：1.黄蜂;2.易动怒的人。

　　An Archer, hunting in the woods, was so successful with his arrows that he killed many of the wild animals. This frightened the rest so much that they ran into the densest part of the bushes to hide. At last the Tiger stood up, and pretending to be very brave, told the other animals not to be afraid anymore, but to rely on his courage, and he would attack the enemy on his own. While he was talking, and lashing his tail and tearing at the ground with his claws to impress the others, an arrow came and pierced his ribs. The Tiger howled with pain.

　　While he was trying to draw out the arrow with his teeth the Fox went up to him and asked, in surprise, whoever had the strength and courage to wound such a brave and mighty beast as the Tiger?

　　"Nay," said the Tiger, "I misjudged my enemy. It was that unbeatable man over there!"

　　MORAL: Knowledge is power.

　　狐狸和老虎

　　一个射手正在森林里打猎。他的箭法好极了，射死了许多野兽。这可大大地吓坏了余下的动物，它们都跑到最茂盛的灌木丛中躲藏起来。最后，老虎站了起来，装着非常勇敢的样子叫其余的动物相信它的勇敢，不必再害怕。它将独个儿向敌人进攻。它一边说着，一边甩动着它的尾巴，并用它的爪子刨着地上的泥土，想使别人更信任它。就在这时，一枝箭飞来，刺穿了他的肋骨，老虎顿时痛得吼叫起来。

　　正当它尽力用牙齿拔出身上的箭时，狐狸走上前来吃惊地问道：“谁能有这样的力气和胆量来伤害象老虎这样勇敢而强有力的野兽呢?”

　　“不，”老虎说，“我错误地判断了我的敌人，是那边那个不可战胜的人打败了我。”
