Making His Mark “刻舟求劍” A man from the state of Chu was taking a boat across a river when he dropped his sword into the water carelessly. Immediately he made a mark on the side of the boat where the sword dropped, hoping to find it later. When the boat stopped moving, he went into the water to search for his sword at the place where he had marked the boat. As we know, the boat had moved but the sword had not. Isn't this a very foolish way to look for a sword？ 楚國有個人坐船渡江時，他不小心把自己的一把寶劍掉落江中。
他馬上掏出一把小刀，在寶劍落水的船舷上刻上一個記號。船靠岸后，那楚人立即從船上刻記號的地方跳下水去撈取掉落的寶劍。
他怎么找得到寶劍呢？船繼續行駛，而寶劍卻不會再移動。像他這樣去找劍，真是太愚蠢可笑了。
To Pull up the Seedlings to Help Them Grow “拔苗助長” Once upon a time, there was an old farmer who planted a plot of rice. After he planted the seedlings, every day he went to the field to watch the seedlings grow. He saw the young shoots break through the soil and grow taller each day, but still, he thought they were growing too slowly. Eventually he got impatient with the young plants and suddenly he hit upon an idea that one by one, he pulled up the young plants by half an inch. The next early morning, the young man couldn't wait to check his “achievement”, but he was heart-broken to see all the pulled-up young plants dying. 從前，有個農夫，種了稻苗（seedlings）后，便希望能早早收成。每天他到稻田時，都發覺那些稻苗長得非常慢。

第二天，一早起身，他迫不及待地去稻田看他的“成果”。 哪知，卻看到所有的稻苗都枯萎了。
Plugging One's Ears While Stealing a Bell “掩耳盜鈴” Once upon a time, there was a man who wanted to steal his neighbor's doorbell. However, he knew clearly that the bell would ring and catch the other people's attention as long as he touched the bell. So he thought hard and suddenly hit on a clever “idea”. He plugged his ears with something, thinking that everything would go well when he stole the bell. Unfortunately to his disappointment, the bell still rang loudly and he was caught on the spot as a thief. 從前，有一個人想偷鄰居門上的鈴，但是他知道一碰到鈴，鈴就會響起來，被人發現。他想啊想，終于他想出一個“妙極”，他把自己的耳朵用東西塞起來，就聽不見鈴聲了。

At that time, a fox saw the crow with the meat, so he swallowed and eagerly thought of a plan to get the meat. However, whatever the fox said to the crow, the crow just kept silent. Until the fox thought highly of the crow's beautiful voice, the crow felt flattered and opened his mouth to sing. As soon as the meat fell down to the ground, the fox took the meat and went into his hole. 有一天，一只烏鴉站在窩旁的樹枝上嘴里叼著一片肉，心里非常高興。這時候，一只狐貍看見了烏鴉，饞得直流口水，非常想得到那片肉。
但是，無論狐貍說什么，烏鴉就是不理睬狐貍。最后，狐貍贊美烏鴉的嗓音最優美，并要求烏鴉唱幾句讓他欣賞欣賞。
烏鴉聽了狐貍贊美的話，得意極了，就唱起歌來。沒想到，肉一掉下來，狐貍就叼起肉，鉆回了洞Draw a Snake and Add Feet to It “畫蛇添足” Long long ago, several people had a jar of wine among them and all of them wanted to drink it by himself. So they set a rule that every one would draw a snake on the ground and the man who finished first would have the wine. One man finished his snake very soon and he was about to drink the wine when he saw the others were still busy drawing, so he decided to draw the feet to the snake. However, before he could finish the feet, another man finished and grabbed the jar from him, saying, "Who has ever seen a snake with feet?” The story of "Draw a snake and add feet to It.” tells us going too far is as bad as not going far enough. 古時幾個人分一壺酒。
他們都想獨自喝完那壺酒，所以就定了一個規矩：每人在地上畫一條蛇，誰畫得最快，這壺酒就歸誰。有一個人很快就把蛇畫好了。
他正打算喝這壺酒時，看見別人都還在忙著畫，就決定給蛇再畫上幾只腳。結果，他的蛇腳還沒加完，另一個人已經把蛇畫好了。
那人一下把酒壺奪了過去，說：“有誰見過長腳的蛇？”。這個故事告訴我們這樣的道理：做得過分和做得不夠都是不對的。

After many years the Country mouse saw the City mouse; he said, "Do come and see me at my house in the country." So the City mouse went. The City mouse said, "This food is not good, and your house is not good. Why do you live in a hole in the field? You should come and live in the city. You would live in a nice house made of stone. You would have nice food to eat. You must come and see me at my house in the city." The Country mouse went to the house of the City mouse. It was a very good house. Nice food was set ready for them to eat. But just as they began to eat they heard a great noise. The City mouse cried, " Run! Run! The cat is coming!" They ran away quickly and hid.

The Old Cat An old woman had a cat. The cat was very old; she could not run quickly, and she could not bite, because she was so old. One day the old cat saw a mouse; she jumped and caught the mouse. But she could not bite it; so the mouse got out of her mouth and ran away, because the cat could not bite it. Then the old woman became very angry because the cat had not killed the mouse. She began to hit the cat. The cat said, "Do not hit your old servant. I have worked for you for many years, and I would work for you still, but I am too old. Do not be unkind to the old, but remember what good work the old did when they were young." 老貓 一位老婦有只貓，這只貓很老，它跑不快了，也咬不了東西，因為它年紀太大了。
一天，老貓發現一只老鼠，它跳過去抓這只老鼠，然而，它咬不住這只老鼠。因此，老鼠從它的嘴邊溜掉了，因為老貓咬不了它。
于是，老婦很生氣，因為老貓沒有把老鼠咬死。她開始打這只貓，貓說：“不要打你的老仆人，我已經為你服務了很多年，而且還愿意為你效勞，但是，我實在太老了，對年紀大的不要這么無情，要記住老年人在年青時所做過的有益的事情。”
A man was going to the house of some rich person. As he went along the road, he saw a box of good apples at the side of the road. He said, "I do not want to eat those apples; for the rich man will give me much food; he will give me very nice food to eat." Then he took the apples and threw them away into the dust. He went on and came to a river. The river had become very big; so he could not go over it. He waited for some time; then he said, "I cannot go to the rich man's house today, for I cannot get over the river." He began to go home. He had eaten no food that day. He began to want food. He came to the apples, and he was glad to take them out of the dust and eat them. Do not throw good things away; you may be glad to have them at some other time. 一個人正朝著一個富人的房子走去，當他沿著路走時，在路的一邊他發現一箱好蘋果，他說：“我不打算吃那些蘋果，因為富人會給我更多的食物，他會給我很好吃的東西。”然后他拿起蘋果，一把扔到土里去。
他繼續走，來到河邊，河漲水了，因此，他到不了河對岸，他等了一會兒，然后他說：“今天我去不了富人家了，因為我不能渡過河。” 他開始回家，那天他沒有吃東西。
他就開始去找吃的，他找到蘋果，很高興地把它們從塵土中翻出來吃了。 不要把好東西扔掉，換個時候你會覺得它們大有用處。

共9篇The Ant and the Grasshopper In a field one summer's day a Grasshopper was hopping about, chirping and singing to its heart's content. An Ant passed by, bearing along with great toil an ear of corn he was taking to the nest. "Why not come and chat with me," said the Grasshopper, "instead of toiling and moiling in that way?" "I am helping to lay up food for the winter," said the Ant, "and recommend you to do the same." "Why bother about winter?" said the Grasshopper; we have got plenty of food at present." But the Ant went on its way and continued its toil. When the winter came the Grasshopper had no food and found itself dying of hunger, while it saw the ants distributing every day corn and grain from the stores they had collected in the summer. Then the Grasshopper knew: It is best to prepare for the days of necessityThe Bear and the Two TravelersTWO men were traveling together, when a Bear suddenly met them on their path. One of them climbed up quickly into a tree and hid himself in the branches.

Pray spare my life, and put me back into the sea. I shall soon become a large fish fit for the tables ofthe rich, and then you can catch me again, and make a handsome profit of me."

The Three Lazy Ones A king had three sons whom he loved equally well, and he did not know which of them to appoint as king following his own death. When the time came for him to die he called them to his bed and said, “Dear children, I have thought of something that I will reveal to you. The one of you is the laziest shall become king after me.” The oldest one said, “Father, then the kingdom belongs to me, for I am so lazy that whenever I lie down to sleep, and a drop falls into my eyes, I will not even close them so that I can fall asleep.” The second one said, “Father, the kingdom belongs to me, for I am so lazy that when I am sitting by the fire warming myself, I would rather let my heels burn up than to pull my legs back.” The third one said, “Father, the kingdom is mine, for I am so lazy that if I were going to be hanged and already had the rope around my neck, and someone put into my hand a sharp knife with which to cut the rope, I would let myself be hanged rather than to lift my hand up to the rope.” 在一個遙遠的地方，有一個國王，他有三個兒子，對每一個兒子他都非常喜愛，他不知道自己死后應該把王位傳給他們三個中的哪一個。
所以，當他快要死的時候，就把他們叫到身邊說：“親愛的孩子們，在我死后，你們三個中誰最懶，誰就繼承我的王位。”老大說：“既然這樣，這王位就是我的，因為我是最懶的兒子，當我躺下睡覺時，有任何東西落到我的眼睛里，我也懶得去擦掉，即使不能把眼睛閉上，我仍然會繼續睡覺。”
二兒子說：“爸爸，王位應該傳給我，因為我是最懶的兒子。當我坐在火邊取暖的時候，就是火燃到我的腳趾，我也懶得把腿收回來。”
第三個兒子說：“爸爸，這王位是我的，因為我是你最懶的兒子，如果我就要被吊起來，繩子已經套在了脖子上，有人把一把鋒利的小刀塞在我手里，要我切斷繩子，我寧愿被吊起來也懶得抬起手把繩子割斷。” 大家猜猜國王讓誰繼承王位： 第三個兒子。
