篇二 THE WOLF AND THE LAMBA（狼和小羊）
Wolf meeting with a Lamb astray from the fold， resolved not to lay violent hands on him， but to find some plea， which should justify to the Lamb himself his 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.”
一只狼瞧见一只迷路失群的小羊，决定暂缓下毒手，想先找一些理由，对小羊证明自己有吃它的权利。它就说：「小鬼！你去年曾经骂过我。」小羊可怜地说：「老实说，我去年还没有出生呢。」狼再说：「你在我的草地上吃过草。」
“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.” On 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.
小羊回答说：「不，好先生，我还未曾尝过草的味道呢。」狼又说：「你喝过我井里的水。」小羊叫道：「不，我从没有喝过水，因为直到今天为止，我都是吃着母亲的奶汁。」狼一听这话，便抓住它，把它吃下去，便说：「好！即使你驳倒我每一句话，我终究要吃晚餐的！」暴君总有他暴行的借口。
篇三 THE FATHER AND HIS SONSA（父亲和孩子们）
Father had a family of sons who were perpetually quarrelling among themselves. When he failed to heal their disputes by his exhortations， he determined to give them a practical illustration of the evils of disunion； and for this purpose he one day told them to bring him a bundle of sticks. When they had done so， he placed the faggot into the hands of each of them in succession， and ordered them to break it in pieces. They each tried with all their strength， and were not able to do it.
一位父亲有几个孩子，这些孩子时常发生口角。他丝毫没有办法来劝阻他们，只好让他们看看不合群所带来害处的例子。为了达到这个目的，有一天他叫他们替他拿一捆细柴来。当他们把柴带来时，他便先后地将那捆柴放在每一个孩子的手中，吩咐他们弄断这捆柴。他们一个个尽力去试，总是不能成功。
He next unclosed the faggot， and took the sticks separately， one by one， and again put them into their hands， on which they broke them easily. He then addressed them in these words： “My sons， if you are of one mind， and unite to assist each other， you will be as this faggot， uninjured by all the attempts of your enemies； but if you are divided among yourselves， you will be broken as easily as these sticks.”
然后他解开那捆柴，一根根地放在他们手里，如此一来，他们便毫不费力地折断了。于是他就告诉他们说：「孩子们！如果你们大家团结一致，互相帮助，你们就像这捆柴一样，不能被你们的敌人折断；但如果你们自行分 裂，你们就将和这些散柴一般，不堪一折了。
