the village.All fled when he came near,both men and animals.The ass felt quite proud. He lifted his voice and brayed, but then everyone knew him.His owner came up and gave him a sound whipping.Shortly afterwards,a fox came up to him and said, "Ah, I knew it was you by your voice." 参考译文:

有头驴发现一张狮子皮，他披着狮子皮走进村庄。所有的人和动物见到他走过来都逃走

了。驴感到很得意，他高声地嘶叫，却被人认了出来。他的主人跑过来打了他一顿。不久，

一只狐狸也跑过来，对他说:“哦，你一张嘴我就知道你是驴。”

Early in the fall, a fox saw ripe grapes in a garden. He wanted to eat them. He said to himself, “How lucky I am! I've found some nice grapes.” He crept

into the garden, and came to the grapes. He jumped up at the grapes, but he could not reach them. He jumped again and again, but in vain. At last he gave it up, and said to himself, “The grapes are sour. I don't want sour grapes.” And

he went away.

在初秋的一天,一只狐狸在花园里看到了成熟的葡萄.它非常想吃,它对自己说,”我真幸运!

我发现了这么美味的葡萄.’’于是它爬进了花园来到葡萄前,它朝着葡萄跳了几跳,但是够不到.

它跳了又跳,始终徒劳无功.最后它放弃了,并对自己说,’’葡萄是酸的，我才不想吃酸的葡萄。”

于是狐狸走掉了。

Once upon a time a man came into a forest. He said to the trees, “Will you

give me a piece of hard wood ?” The tree said, “Yes, we'll give

you a good price

of hard wood.” He was very gl ad to get a good piece of wood. He hurried home with it. At once he made a new handle of his ax. Then he went to the forest again and began to cut down all the best trees in the forest. The trees were very sad. They said to one another, “We suffer for our own foolishness.”

很久以前有个人来到了森林，他对树木们说:你们能给我一块坚硬的木头么,树说:好

来。树木们非常地伤心，他们对彼此说:我们为自己的愚蠢付出了惨痛的代

价。

寓意:宽容和慈悲也是有前提和限度的，有可能好心会招致坏的结果。

Ha, ha, ha," laughed the lion. " How can a little thing like you help a great lion?" " Thank you very much, kind Lion! I hope I shall be able to do you a good return some day," said the little mouse. Some time after this, the lion was caught

in a trap. Just then the little mouse came along. At once she ran up to the lion, and said, " You were very kind to me once. Now I'll save your life, and repay you the kindness which you showed me the other day." Soon she gnawed the ropes of the trap with her sharp teeth, and the lion was happy to be free again. " Thank you, little Mouse!" said the lion, and he walked away.
