　　1：The ass and his purchaser

　　A man wanted to buy an ass. He went to the market, and saw a likely one. But he wanted to test him first.

　　So he took the ass home, and put him into the stable with the other asses. The new ass looked around, and immediately went to choose a place next to the laziest ass in the stable.

　　When the man saw this he put a halter on the ass at once, and gave him back to his owner.

　　The owner felt quite surprised. He asked the man, "Why are you back so soon? Have you tested him already?" "I don't want to test him any more," replied the man, "From the companion he chose for himself, I could see what sort of animal he is."

　　2:Belling the cat

　　Long ago, there was a big cat in the house. He caught many mice while they were stealing food.

　　One day the mice had a meeting to talk about the way to deal with their common enemy. Some said this, and some said that.

　　At last a young mouse got up, and said that he had

　　a good idea.

　　"We could tie a bell around the neck of the cat. Then when he comes near, we can hear the sound of the bell, and run away."

　　Everyone approved of this proposal, but an old wise mouse got up and said, "That is all very well, but who will tie the bell to the cat?" The mice looked at each other, but nobody spoke.
