這個你看如何？中英對照 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. All spinning wheels and spindles had been destroyed ,so there was no reminder. And the fairy was not heard of again. And so, on Briar Rose`s sixteenth birthday, the King and Queen were due to arrive back from a far away visit. There was to be a large birthday party for the Princess. Briar Rose was wandering around the palace. Everyone was preparing for the party, so she could please herself where she went. As had never set foot in, she foot in, she decided to go exploring. "I wonder what is in the great South Tower," she said. All the servants and courtiers wished her a happy birthday as she made her way across the palace. That part of the palace was very old, and there were very few people there. The base of the tower was in a corridor. The entrance was a small, very solid looking door. The key was on the outside. "It`s very stiff ,"said the Princess, as she turned the key. "There! It`s open!" Stairs led up the tower in front of her .She began to climb them. Meanwhile, her parents had arrived back at the palace. "Has anyone seen the Princess?" asked the King. "Today is her sixteenth birthday-the day when the curse may fall. Somebody must know where she is." Nearly everyone had seen her, but nobody knew where she had been going. "She must be found," said the Queen. "If the prophecy is to come true, today is the day." A search of the palace and the grounds began. Meanwhile, the Princess had reached the top of the tower where there was another door . This time there was no key and the door was slightly open. "There must be a wonderful view of the rest of the palace and grounds from the window, "said the Princess . Then she heard a strange whirring sound. It was unlike anything that she had ever heard before. She pushed the door open and went into the room. There, in the middle, sat an old woman working at a spinning wheel. Behind her was an enormous bed. The wheel was making the noise. "What are you doing?" asked Briar Rose. "I have never seen one of those before, what is it?" "It is a spinning wheel, "said the old women, "Would you like to try it my dear?" "Oh. may I?" asked Briar Rose. She sat on the stool in front of the wheel and the wheel whirred round. As soon as she touched the spindle she pricked her finger. She fell to the floor in a deep sleep. The old woman, who was really the thirteenth fairy in disguise, picked her up and laid her on。

偷竊天火之后，宙斯對人類的敵意與日俱增。一天，他令兒子赫菲斯托斯用泥塑一美女像，并請眾神贈予她不同的禮物。
其中，雅典娜飾之以華麗的衣裳，赫耳墨斯贈之以說謊的能力。世上的第一個女人是位迷人女郎，因為她從每位神靈那里得到了一樣對男人有害的禮物，因此宙斯稱她為潘多拉（pander：意為煽動）。
宙斯決定把她作為禮物送給世間的男子。于是信使赫耳墨斯將她帶給普羅米修斯的弟弟厄庇墨透斯。
她姿容絕美，見者無不為之傾心。厄庇墨透斯興高采烈地把她迎入屋內。
普羅米修斯警告過他不得接受宙斯的任何饋贈，而他已將之忘于腦后。這一對夫妻有過一段幸福的生活，但不久災難卻降臨人間。
當普羅米修斯忙于教授人們生存之道的時候，他把一個桶托付給厄庇墨透斯。他警告過他的弟弟不要打開桶蓋。
潘多拉好奇心強。她的丈夫不允許她看桶中之物，這使她感到十分懊惱。
一天乘厄庇墨透斯出門在外，她打開桶蓋，從桶里跑出的是不和與戰爭，瘟疫與疾病，偷竊與暴力，悲哀與憂慮，以及其他一些人類從此要遭受的不幸。 只有希望被關在桶口，永遠飛不出來，因此人們常常把希望藏于心中。

The Thirsty Pigeon口渴的鴿子 A PIGEON, oppressed by excessive thirst, saw a goblet of water painted on a signboard.

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。

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 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。

"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。
于是他跑到上游，惡狠狠地說小羊把河水攪渾濁了，使他喝不到清水。小羊回答說，他僅僅站在河邊喝水，并且又在下游，根本不可能把上游的水攪渾。
