He says unhappily to the housedog, “Where I work very hard outside, you share my food.”“Don’t blame me, my friend. You should blame the master. He doesn’t teach me to hunt, but to share other’s food,”the housedog answers. Don’t blame children for the mistakes of their parent

find Big Ben sits at the top of the clock tower in the House of the Parliament. The big clock makes a very loud noise. “Ding dong. Ding dong”- the clock strikes every quarter of an hour.

The Thirsty Pigeon口渴的鸽子
A PIGEON, oppressed by excessive thirst, saw a goblet of water painted on a signboard. Not supposing it to be only a picture, she flew towards it with a loud whir and unwittingly dashed against the signboard, jarring herself terribly. Having broken her wings by the blow, she fell to the ground, and was caught by one of the bystanders.
Zeal should not outrun discretion.

率从事，就会身遭不幸。

The Raven and the Swan乌鸦和天鹅
A RAVEN saw a Swan and desired to secure for himself the same beautiful plumage. Supposing that the Swan's splendid white color arose from his washing in the water in which he swam, the Raven left the altars in the

他猜想天鹅一定是经常洗澡，羽毛才变得如此洁白无瑕。

这故事是说，人的本性不会随着生活方式的改变而改变。

Do not attempt to hide things which cannot be hid.

”
这故事说明，明显的罪状是无法隐瞒的。

The Miser守财奴
A MISER sold all that he had and bought a lump of gold, which he buried in a hole in the ground by the side of an old wall and went to look at daily. One of his workmen observed his frequent visits to the spot and decided to watch his movements. He soon discovered the secret of the hidden treasure, and digging down, came to the lump of gold, and stole it. The Miser, on his next visit, found the hole empty and began to tear his hair and to make loud lamentations. A neighbor, seeing him overcome with grief and learning the cause, said, "Pray do not grieve so; but go and take a
stone, and place it in the hole, and fancy that the gold is still lying there. It will do you quite the same service; for when the gold was there, you had it not, as you did not make the slightest use of it."
有个守财奴变卖了他所有的家产，换回了金块，并秘密地埋在一个地方。

他每天走去看看他的宝藏。

有个在附近放羊的牧人留心观察，知道了真情，趁他走后，挖出金块拿走了。

守财奴再来时，发现洞中的金块没有了，便捶胸痛哭。

有个人见他如此悲痛，问明原因后，说道：“喂，朋友，别再难过了，那块金子虽是你买来的，但并不是你真正拥有的。

去拿一块石头来，代替金块放在洞里，只要你心里想着那是块金子，你就会很高兴。

这样与你拥有真正的金块效果没什么不同。

依我之见，你拥有那金块时，也从没用过。

”
这故事说明，一切财物如不使用等于没有。

The Wolf and the Lamb 狼与小羊
WOLF, meeting with a Lamb astray from the fold, resolved not to lay violent hands on him, but to find some plea to justify to the Lamb the Wolf's right to eat him. He thus addressed him:"Sirrah, last year you grossly insulted me."
"Indeed," bleated the Lamb in a mournful tone of voice, "I was not then born." Then
said the Wolf , "You feed in my pasture." "No, good sir," replied the Lamb, "I have not yet tasted grass." Again said the Wolf, "You drink of my well." "No," exclaimed the Lamb, "I never yet drank water, for as yet my mother's milk is both food and drink to me." Upon which the Wolf seized him and ate him up, saying, "Well! I won't remain supperless, even though you refute every one of my imputations."
The tyrant will always find a pretext for his tyranny.
一只小羊在河边喝水，狼见到后，便想找一个名正言顺的借口吃掉他。

于是他跑到上游，恶狠狠地说小羊把河水搅浑浊了，使他喝不到清水。

小羊回答说，他仅仅站在河边喝水，并且又在下游，根本不可能把上游的水搅浑。

狼见此计不成，又说道：“我父亲去年被你骂过。

”小羊说，那时他还没有出生。

狼对他说：“不管你怎样辩解，反正我不会放过你。

”
这说明，对恶人做任何正当的辩解也是无效的。

The Bat and the Weasels蝙蝠与黄鼠狼
A BAT who fell upon the ground and was caught by a Weasel pleaded to be spared his life. The Weasel refused,
saying that he was by nature the enemy of all birds. The Bat assured him that he was not a bird, but a mouse, and thus was set free. Shortly afterwards the Bat again fell to the ground and was caught by another Weasel, whom he likewise entreated not to eat him. The Weasel said that he had a special hostility to mice. The Bat assured him that he was not a mouse, but a bat, and thus a second time escaped.
It is wise to turn circumstances to good account.
蝙蝠掉落在地上，被黄鼠狼叼去，他请求饶命。

黄鼠狼说绝不会放过他，自己生来痛恨鸟类。

蝙蝠说他是老鼠，不是鸟，便被放了。

后来蝙蝠又掉落了下来，被另一只黄鼠狼叼住，他再三请求不要吃他。

这只黄鼠狼说他恨一切鼠类。

蝙蝠改口说自己是鸟类，并非老鼠，又被放了。

这样，蝙蝠两次改变了自己的名字，终于死里逃生。

这故事说明，我们遇事要随机应变方能避免危险。
