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。

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. 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." 有個守財奴變賣了他所有的家產，換回了金塊，并秘密地埋在一個地方。他每天走去看 看他的寶藏。
有個在附近放羊的牧人留心觀察，知道了真情，趁他走后，挖出金塊拿走了。 守財奴再來時，發現洞中的金塊沒有了，便捶胸痛哭。
有個人見他如此悲痛，問明原因后， 說道：“喂，朋友，別再難過了，那塊金子雖是你買來的，但并不是你真正擁有的。去拿一 塊石頭來，代替金塊放在洞里，只要你心里想著那是塊金子，你就會很高興。
這樣與你擁有 真正的金塊效果沒什么不同。依我之見，你擁有那金塊時，也從沒用過。”
這故事說明，一切財物如不使用等于沒有。 The Wolf and the Lamb 狼與小羊 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. 一只小羊在河邊喝水，狼見到后，便想找一個名正言順的借口吃掉他。

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。

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.

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。

《白雪公主》不行？那就《睡美人》吧 （不過都是好幼稚的哦 ·~~~·O（∩_∩）O~) A long time ago and far away there lived a King and a Queen .They were very happy, for their first child, a girl, had been born. " We must have a grand christening for her," said the King , who was delighted to have a daughter. "We must invite all the fairies of the kingdom to bless her," said the Queen. "How many are there now ?" asked the King. "Twelve or thirteen," said his wife. "Send the invitations . We`ll soon find out ." There were twelve fairies, and they were all sent invitations. A thirteen fairy had not been heard of for so long that it was presumed that she was dead. No invitation was sent. The day of the christening was sunny and bright. The Princes was named Briar Rose, and the fairies began to give their gifts. "She shall be beautiful, "said the first. "She shall be wise ,"said the second. "She shall be good,"said the third. "She shall be kind ," said the fourth. The gifts continued in this way, wishing all that was good for Briar Rose. Eleven of the twelve fairies had given their gifts when the room suddenly went dark. After a great flash of light a small dark figure stood in front of the King and Queen. It was the thirteenth fairy. "why wasn`t I invited to the christening?" she screamed. She was furious at being left out. "All the fairies of the kingdom have given their blessings. Well, here`s mine for the Princess. On her sixteenth birthday she will prick her finger on a spinning wheel and die." Another flash of light and the fairy was gone. "But we thought she was dead," said the King. "What can we do ?" The Queen was in tears. The twelfth fairy stepped forward. There is still my gift for Briar Rose," she said. "The fairy`s curse cannot be undone, but I can change it a little. She will fall into a deep sleep that will last one hundred years," There was a great hubbub in the hall as everyone discussed the events. The following day the King issued a proclamation, ordering that all spinning wheels and spindles were to be destroyed. Throughout the land there were great fires as the spinning wheels were burned. Over the years, the Princess grew into a lovely girl. All who met her were enchanted by her. Eventually, the bad fairy`s wish was forgotten.
