The House of 1000 Mirrors 千鏡之屋 Long ago in a small, faraway village, there was a place known as the House of 1000 Mirrors. A small, happy little dog learned of this place and decided to visit. When he arrived, he hounced happily up the stairs to the doorway of the house. He looked through the doorway with his ears lifted high and his tail wagging as fast as it could. To his great surprise, he found himself staring at 1000 other happy little dogs with their tails wagging just as fast as his. He smiled a great smile, and was answered with 1000 great smiles just as warm and firendly. As he left the House, he thought to himself, "This is a wonderful place. I will come back and visit it often." In this same village, another little dog, who was not quite as happy as the first one, decided to visit the house. He slowly climbed the stairs and hung his head low as he looked into the door. When he saw the 1000 unfriendly looking dogs staring back at him, he growled at them and was horrified to see 1000 little dogs growling back at him. As he left, he thought to himself, "That is a horrible place, and I will never go back there again." All the faces in the world are mirrors. What kind of reflections do you see in the faces of the people you meet？ 很久以前的一個很遠的小村莊里，有一個以"千鏡屋"而著名的地方。
一個樂觀的小狗聽說了這個地方并決定去參觀。當來到這個地方，他蹦蹦跳歡恰快的上了臺階，來到房門口，他高高豎起耳朵，歡快地搖著尾巴，從門口往里張望，他驚奇地看到有1000只歡樂的小狗像他一樣快的搖尾巴。
他燦爛地微笑著，回報他的是1000張熱情，友好的燦爛笑臉。離開時他心想："這是一個精彩的地主，我一定要經常來參觀。
" 在這個村里還有另一只想參觀"千鏡屋"的小狗，他不及第一只小狗樂觀，他慢吞吞地爬上臺階，然后耷拉著腦袋往屋子里看。一看到有1000只小狗不友好地盯著他，他便開始沖他們狂吠，鏡中的1000只小狗也沖著他狂吠，把他給嚇壞了，他在離開時心想："這是一個恐怖的地方，我再也不會來了。
" 世界上所有的臉都是鏡子，在你所遇見的人的臉上你看到反射出來的是什么？ 遙遠的古代，人們心中的美好愿望往往能夠變成現實。就在那個令人神往的時代，曾經有過一位國王。
國王有好幾個女兒，個個都長得非常美麗；尤其是他的小女兒，更是美如天仙，就連見多識廣的太陽，每次照在她臉上時，都對她的美麗感到驚詫不已. 國王的宮殿附近，有一片幽暗的大森林。在這片森林中的一棵老椴樹下，有一個水潭，水潭很深。
在天熱的時候，小公主常常來到這片森林，坐在清涼的水潭邊上。她坐在那里感到無聊的時候，就取出一只金球，把金球拋向空中，然后再用手接住。
這成了她最喜愛的游戲。 不巧的是，有一次，小公主伸出兩只小手去接金球，金球卻沒有落進她的手里，而是掉到了地上，而且一下子就滾到了水潭里。
小公主兩眼緊緊地盯著金球，可是金球忽地一下子在水潭里就沒影兒了。因為水潭里的水很深，看不見底，小公主就哭了起來，她的哭聲越來越大，哭得傷心極了。
哭著哭著，小公主突然聽見有人大聲說：“哎呀，公主，您這是怎么啦？您這樣嚎啕大哭，就連石頭聽了都會心疼的呀。”聽了這話，小公主四處張望，想弄清楚說話聲是從哪兒傳來的，不料卻發現一只青蛙，從水里伸出他那丑陋不堪的肥嘟嘟的大腦袋。
"啊！原來是你呀，游泳健將，”小公主對青蛙說道，“我在這兒哭，是因為我的金球掉進水潭里去了。” "好啦，不要難過，別哭了，”青蛙回答說，“我有辦法幫助您。
要是我幫您把您的金球撈出來，您拿什么東西來回報我呢？” "親愛的青蛙，你要什么東西都成呵，”小公主回答說，“我的衣服、我的珍珠和寶石、甚至我頭上戴著的這頂金冠，都可以給你。” 聽了這話，青蛙對小公主說：“您的衣服、您的珍珠、您的寶石，還有您的金冠，我哪樣都不想要。
不過，要是您喜歡我，讓我做您的好朋友，我們一起游戲，吃飯的時候讓我和您同坐一張餐桌，用您的小金碟子吃東西，用您的小高腳杯飲酒，晚上還讓我睡在您的小床上；要是您答應所有這一切的話，我就潛到水潭里去，把您的金球撈出來。” "好的，太好了，”小公主說，“只要你愿意把我的金球撈出來，你的一切要求我都答應。”
小公主雖然嘴上這么說，心里卻想：“這只青蛙可真夠傻的，盡胡說八道！他只配蹲在水潭里，和其他青蛙一起呱呱叫，怎么可能做人的好朋友呢？” 青蛙得到了小公主的許諾之后，把腦袋往水里一扎，就潛入了水潭。過了不大一會兒，青蛙嘴里銜著金球，浮出了水面，然后把金球吐在草地上。
小公主重又見到了自己心愛的玩具，心里別提有多高興了。她把金球揀了起來，撒腿就跑。
"別跑！別跑！”青蛙大聲叫道，“帶上我呀！我可跑不了您那么快。” 盡管青蛙扯著嗓子拼命叫喊，可是沒有一點兒用。
小公主對青蛙的喊叫根本不予理睬，而是徑直跑回了家，并且很快就把可憐的青蛙忘記得一干二凈。青蛙只好蹦蹦跳跳地又回到水潭。

給你白雪公主的吧，一般不會太短的：Snow-white Ⅰ Once there was a Queen. She was sitting at the window. There was snow outside in the garden--snow on the hill and in the lane, snow on the huts and on the trees: all things were white with snow. She had some cloth in her hand and a needle. The cloth in her hand was as white as the snow. The Queen was making a coat for a little child. She said, "I want my child to be white as this cloth, white as the snow. And I shall call her Snow-white." Some days after that the Queen had a child. The child was white as snow. The Queen called her Snow-white. But the Queen was very ill, and after some days she died. Snow-white lived, and was a very happy and beautiful child. One year after that, the King married another Queen. The new Queen was very beautiful; but she was not a good woman. A wizard had given this Queen a glass. The glass could speak. It was on the wall in the Queen's room. Every day the Queen looked in the glass to see how beautiful she was. As she looked in the glass, she asked: " Tell me, glass upon the wall, Who is most beautiful of all?" And the glass spoke and said: "The Queen is most beautiful of all." Years went by. Snow-white grew up and became a little girl. Every day the Queen looked in the glass and said, "Tell me, glass upon the wall, Who is most beautiful of all?" And every day the glass spoke and said, "The Queen is most beautiful of all." Years went by, and Snow-white grew up and became a woman. Every year she became more and more beautiful. Then one day, when Snow-white was a woman, the Queen looked in the glass and said, "Tell me, glass upon the wall, Who is most beautiful of all?" And the glass said, "Snow-white is most beautiful of all." When the Queen heard this, she was very angry. She said, "Snow-white is not more beautiful than I am. There is no one who is more beautiful than I am." Then the Queen sat on her bed and cried. After one hour the Queen went out of her room. She called one of the servants, and said, " Take Snow-white into the forest and kill her." The servant took Snow-white to the forest, but he did not kill her, because she was so beautiful and so good. The man took Snow-white into the forest, but he did not kill her. He said, "I shall not kill you; but do not go to the King's house, because the Queen is angry and she will see you. If the Queen sees you, she will make some other man kill you. Wait here in the forest; some friends will help you." Then he went away. Poor Snow-white sat at the foot of a tree and cried. Then she saw that night was coming. She said, " I will not cry. I will find some house where I can sleep tonight. I cannot wait here: the bears will eat me." She went far into the forest. Then she saw a little hut. She opened the door of the hut, and went in. Ⅱ In the hut she saw seven little beds. There was a table and on the table there were seven little loaves and seven little glasses. She ate one of the loaves. Then she said, "I want some water to drink." So she drank some water out of one of the glasses. Then she fell asleep on one of the seven little beds. The hut was the home of seven Little Men. When it was night, the seven Little Men came to the hut. Each Little Man had a big beard, and a little blue coat. Each Little Man came into the hut, and took his little lamp. Then each Little Man sat down, and ate his little loaf, and drank his little glass of water. But one Little Man said, "Someone has eaten my little loaf." And another Little Man said, "Someone has drunk my little glass of water." Then the seven Little Men went to bed, but one Little Man said, "Someone is sleeping on my little bed." All the seven Little Men came to look at Snow-white as she slept on the Little Man's bed. They said, "She is very beautiful." "She is very beautiful." "She is very beautiful." "She is very beautiful." "She is very beautiful." "She is very beautiful." "She is very beautiful." Snow-white awoke, and saw the seven Little Men with their big beards standing near her bed. She was afraid . The Little Men said, "Do not be afraid. We are your friends. Tell us how you came here." Snow-white said, "I will tell you." Then she told them her story. They said, "Do not be afraid. Live here with us. But see that the door is shut when we are not in the house with you. Do not go out. If you go out, the bad Queen will find you. Then she will know that you are not dead, and will tell someone to kill you." So Snow-white lived in 'the hut with the seven Little Men. After some days Snow-white went into the garden. One of the Queen's servants was going through the for。

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.

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.

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。
The City Mouse and the Country Mouse Once there were two mice. They were friends. One mouse lived in the country; the other mouse lived in the city. 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. After some time they came out. When they came out, the Country mouse said, "I do not like living in the city. I like living in my hole in the field. For it is nicer to be poor and happy, than to be rich and afraid." 【譯文】 城里老鼠和鄉下老鼠 從前，有兩只老鼠，它們是好朋友。一只老鼠居住在鄉村，另一只住在城里。
很多年以后，鄉下老鼠碰到城里老鼠，它說：“你一定要來我鄉下的家看看。”于是，城里老鼠就去了。
鄉下老鼠領著它到了一塊田地上它自己的家里。它把所有最精美食物都找出來給城里老鼠。
城里老鼠說：“這東西不好吃，你的家也不好，你為什么住在田野的地洞里呢？你應該搬到城里去住，你能住上用石頭造的漂亮房子，還會吃上美味佳肴，你應該到我城里的家看看。” 鄉下老鼠就到城里老鼠的家去。
房子十分漂亮，好吃的東西也為他們擺好了。可是正當他們要開始吃的時候，聽見很大的一陣響聲，城里的老鼠叫喊起來：“快跑！快跑！貓來了！”他們飛快地跑開躲藏起來。
過了一會兒，他們出來了。當他們出來時，鄉下老鼠說：“我不喜歡住在城里，我喜歡住在田野我的洞里。

The other friend replied: When someone hurts us, we should write it down in sand where winds of forgiveness can erase it away .But when someone does something good for us, we must engrave it in stone where no wind ever erases it.
Learn to write your hurts in the sand and to carve your benefits in stone. They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate him, a day to love him, but an entire life to forget him.
Send this phrase to the people you will never forget .It is a short message to let them know that you will never forget them.

傷害只寫在沙地上
兩個朋友在荒漠里穿行，途中他們發上了爭執；其中一個人單了另一位一個耳光。被達的人非常傷心，但他什么也沒說，只是在沙地上寫到：“今天，我最好的朋友打了我一個耳光。”
他們繼續往前走，發現了一片綠洲，他們決定在那里洗個澡。結果，被打的那位陷進了泥潭，眼看就要被淹死，結果他的朋友救了他。恢復過來都他在石頭上寫到：“今天，我最好的朋友救了我的命。”
那位打他并救了他的朋友問：“為什么我傷害你時，你在沙地上寫下來，而現在卻在石頭上刻下來呢？”
被救的那位答到：“受到傷害時，我們應該把他寫在沙地上，寬恕之風會將它抹平。可是受人恩惠時，我們應該把它刻在石頭上，任何風雨也不會把它擦掉。”
學會將所受的傷害寫在沙子上，把所的的恩德刻在石頭上。有人這樣說，找到一個特別的人只需要用一分鐘，欣賞他需要用一小時，喜歡他需要用一天，但忘掉他卻需要用一生的時間。
把這句話送給那些你永遠無法忘記的人吧。這段短短的話能讓他們知道你永遠不會忘記他們。

'Nay, master, nay,' said Lambikin; 'if the water be muddy up there, I cannot be the cause of it, for it runs down from you to me.' 'Well, then,' said the Wolf, 'why did you call me bad names this time last year?' 'That cannot be,' said the Lamb; 'I am only six months old.' 'I don't care,' snarled the Wolf; 'if it was not you it was your father;' and with that he rushed upon the poor little Lamb and .WARRA WARRA WARRA WARRA WARRA .ate her all up.

'How well you are looking to-day: how glossy your feathers; how bright your eye. I feel sure your voice must surpass that of other birds, just as your figure does; let me hear but one song from you that I may greet you as the Queen of Birds.' The Crow lifted up her head and began to caw her best, but the moment she opened her mouth the piece of cheese fell to the ground, only to be snapped up by Master Fox. 'That will do,' said he. 'That was all I wanted. In exchange for your cheese I will give you a piece of advice for the future .'Do not trust flatterers。

The Thirsty Pigeon口渴的鴿子 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. 有只鴿子口渴得很難受，看見畫板上畫著一個水瓶，以為是真的。
他立刻呼呼地猛飛過 去，不料一頭碰撞在畫板上，折斷了翅膀，摔在地上，被人輕易地捉住了。 這是說，有些人想急于得到所需的東西，一時沖動，草率從事，就會身遭不幸。
The Raven and the Swan烏鴉和天鵝 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 neighborhood where he picked up his living, and took up residence in the lakes and pools. But cleansing his feathers as often as he would, he could not change their color, while through want of food he perished. Change of habit cannot alter Nature. 烏鴉非常羨慕天鵝潔白的羽毛。他猜想天鵝一定是經常洗澡，羽毛才變得如此潔白無 瑕。
于是，他毅然離開了他賴以生存的祭壇，來到江湖邊。他天天洗刷自己的羽毛，不但一 點都沒洗白，反而因缺少食物饑餓而死。
這故事是說，人的本性不會隨著生活方式的改變而改變。 The Goat and the Goatherd 山羊與牧羊人 A GOATHERD had sought to bring back a stray goat to his flock. He whistled and sounded his horn in vain; the straggler paid no attention to the summons. At last the Goatherd threw a stone, and breaking its horn, begged the Goat not to tell his master. The Goat replied, "Why, you silly fellow, the horn will speak though I be silent." Do not attempt to hide things which cannot be hid. 很多山羊被牧羊人趕到羊圈里。
有一只山羊不知在吃什么好東西，單獨落在后面。牧羊 人拿起一塊石頭扔了過去，正巧打斷了山羊的一只角。
牧羊人嚇得請求山羊不要告訴主人， 山羊說：“即使我不說，又怎能隱瞞下去呢？我的角已斷了，這是十分明顯的事實。” 這故事說明，明顯的罪狀是無法隱瞞的。
The Miser守財奴 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.
