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

一位老婦有隻貓，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，老貓發現一隻老鼠，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。

於是，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：「不要打你的老僕人，我已經為你服務了很多年，而且還願意為你效勞，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 st.

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 st and eat them.

Do not throw good things away; you may be glad to have them at some other time.

【譯文】

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，然後他說：「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."

鄉下老鼠就到城裡老鼠的家去。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，城裡的老鼠叫喊起來：「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：「我不喜歡住在城裡，我喜歡住在田野我的洞里。因為這樣雖然貧窮但是快樂自在，比起雖然富有卻要過著提心吊膽的生活來說，要好些。」

Long long ago, several people had a jar of wine among them and all of them wanted to drink it by himself.

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.

中國大部分地區的冬天是即冷又有風的。我總是盼望著春節或寒假，到時候我就可以去南方了，當地的氣候在這時會暖和的多。我也盼望著去探望我的祖父母和我的朋友。冬天，每個人都懷著喜慶的心情。在城裡，冬天的時候我經常待在家裡盡情地看書，因為外面的天氣非常的冷。

Chinese New Year

Chinese New Year is the most important festival for Chinese people all over the world. It is also called the Spring Festival or the Lunar New Year. The exact date of the Spring Festival on the Western calendar changes from year to year. However, Chinese New Year takes place between January 1 and February 19.
On the Chinese calendar every year has an animal's name. These animals are the rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, ram, monkey, rooster, dog and pig. A Chinese legend says that these twelve animals had a race. The first year was named after the rat, the winner. The other eleven years were named according to the order in which the animals arrived in the race. The clever rat jumped onto the ox's back, and then at the end jumped over the ox's head to arrive first!
The Chinese believe that a person born in a particular year has some of the characteristics of that animal.

春 節
對於全世界的華人來說，中國的新年是最重要的節日。人們也稱它為春節或農歷新年。 公歷春節的確切日期每年都在變化。但是春節一般都在 1 月 1 日 到 2 月 18. 日 之間。 在農歷中，每年都有一個生肖。這些生肖是鼠、牛、虎、兔、龍、蛇、馬、羊、猴、雞、狗和豬。據傳說，這十二個動物舉行了一次賽跑，第一年就以獲勝者鼠命名，其他十一年就根據動物們到達終點的順序命名。聰明的鼠跳在牛背上，在最後時刻跳過牛的頭頂第一個到達終點！
中國人相信在某一年出生的人具有這一年生肖的一些特徵

The Toad and the Frog

A toad saw a frog near the road. He was a fat old frog. He sat and moaned and groaned.
The toad said, 「Do not moan and groan, Mr. Frog. Hop like me. Hop down the road.」
So the frog and the toad went down the road to a big oak tree.
「I am home,」 said the toad. 「Come in and I will make tea.」
But Mr. Frog said, in a deep croak, 「I must not roam far from home. I will be off to my home near the pond.」

癩蛤蟆和青蛙
一隻癩蛤蟆在路邊看到一隻青蛙。那是只又胖又老的青蛙。他坐在那裡呻吟嘆息著。
癩蛤蟆說：「青蛙先生，不要呻吟嘆息了。像我一樣跳吧。沿著這條路跳。」
所以青蛙和癩蛤蟆一起沿著小路跳到一棵大橡樹下。
「我到家了，」癩蛤蟆說，「進來吧，我來泡茶。」
但青蛙用低沉的聲音說：「我不能在離家遠的地方閑逛，我要回我在池塘邊上的家。」
