The Dog And The Shadow 狗和它的影子
A DOG,crossing a bridge over a stream with a piece of flesh in his mouth,saw his own shadow in the water,and took it for that of another Dog,with a piece of meat double his own in size.He therefore let go his own,and fiercely attacked the other Dog,to get his larger piece from him.He thus lost both:that which he grasped at in the water,because it was a shadow; and his own,because the stream swept it away.

.THE ANT AND THE DOVE
蚂蚁和鸽子
One hot day,an ant was searching for some water.After walking around for some time,she came to a spring.
To reach the spring,she had to climb up a blade of grass.While making her way up,she slipped and fell into the water.
She could have drowned if a dove up a nearby tree had not seen her.Seeing that the ant was in trouble,the dove quickly plucked off a leaf and dropped it into the water near the struggling ant.The ant moved towards the leaf and climbed up there.Soon it carried her safely to dry ground.
Just at that time,a hunter nearby was throwing out his net towards the dove,hoping to trap it.
Guessing what he was about to do,the ant quickly bit him on the heel.Feeling the pain,the hunter dropped his net.The dove was quick to fly away to safety.
MORAL:One good turn deserves another.
2.A Simple Gesture 举手之劳
Mark was walking home from school one day when he noticed the boy ahead of him had tripped and dropped all of the books he was carrying,along with two sweaters,a baseball bat,a glove and a small tape recorder.Mark knelt down and helped the boy pick up the scattered articles.Since they were going the same way,he helped to carry part of the burden.As they walked Mark discovered the boy's name was Bill,that he loved video games,baseball and history,and that he was having lots of trouble with his other subjects and that he had just broken up with his girlfriend.They arrived at Bill's home first and Mark was invited in for a Coke and to watch some television.The afternoon passed pleasantly with a few laughs and some shared small talk,then Mark went home.They continued to see each other around school,had lunch together once or twice,then both graduated from junior high school.They ended up in the same high school where they had brief contacts over the years.Finally the long awaited senior year came and three weeks before graduation,Bill asked Mark if they could talk.
Bill reminded him of the day years ago when they had first met."Did you ever wonder why I was carrying so many things home that day?" asked Bill."You see,I cleaned out my locker because I didn't want to leave a mess for anyone else.I had stored away some of my mothers sleeping pills and I was going home to commit suicide.But after we spent some time together talking and laughing,I realized that if I had killed myself,I would have missed that time and so many others that might follow.So you see,Mark,when you picked up those books that day,you did a lot more,you saved my life."

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.
Do not throw good things away; you may be glad to have them at some other time.
一个人正朝着一个富人的房子走去，当他沿着路走时，在路的一边他发现一箱好苹果，他说：“我不打算吃那些苹果，因为富人会给我更多的食物，他会给我很好吃的东西。”然后他拿起苹果，一把扔到土里去。
他继续走，来到河边，河涨水了，因此，他到不了河对岸，他等了一会儿，然后他说：“今天我去不了富人家了，因为我不能渡过河。”
他开始回家，那天他没有吃东西。他就开始去找吃的，他找到苹果，很高兴地把它们从尘土中翻出来吃了。
不要把好东西扔掉，换个时候你会觉得它们大有用处。
