All fled when he came near,both men and animals.

His owner came up and gave him a sound whipping.
Shortly afterwards,a fox came up to him and said, "Ah, I knew it was you by your voice."

There was a big fight between the birds and the beasts. The bat did not join in the fight.
Some birds said to the bat, "Come with us." But he replied, "I am a beast."
Later on, some beasts said to him, "Come with us." But he replied, "I am a bird."
At last the fighting ended peacefully. The bat first went to the birds, and wanted to join in the celebration, but they all turned against him. He then went to the beasts, but was also driven away.

當鳥和野獸宣告停戰和平時,交戰雙方明白了蝙蝠的欺騙行為。蝙蝠來到鳥類當中,他們都敵視他,蝙蝠去野獸那裡,也被趕走。

篇三
The hare and the tortoise
The hare was once boasting of his speed before the other animals. "I have never been beaten," he said, "when I run at full speed, no one is faster than me."
The tortoise said quietly, "I will race with you." "That is a good joke," said the hare. "I could dance around you the whole way."
The race started. The hare darted almost out of sight at once. He soon stopped and lay down to have a nap.
The tortoise plodded on and on. When the hare awoke from his nap, he saw the tortoise was near the finish line, and that he had lost the race.
龜兔賽跑
兔子向動物們誇耀他的速度,“我從來沒有失敗過,”他說,“當我奔跑時,沒有人比我更快。”
烏龜平靜地說:“我要與你比賽。”“真是笑話,我可以邊玩邊和你賽跑。”兔子說。
比賽開始了,一眨眼工夫,兔子已經跑得不見了蹤影,但是他覺得自己跑得快,對比賽掉以輕心,躺在路邊睡著了。
烏龜慢騰騰地卻持續不停地走,當兔子一覺醒來,他看到烏龜已經快到終點線了。兔子輸了比賽。
寓意: 驕兵必敗;只有持之以恆,才能實現目標。
篇四
The miser and his gold
Once upon a time there was a miser. He hid his gold under a tree. Every week he used to dig it up.
One night a robber stole all the gold. When the miser came again, he found nothing but an empty hole.
He was surprised, and then burst into tears.All the neighbors gathered around him.
He told them how he used to come and visit his gold.
"Did you ever take any of it out?" asked one of them. "No," he said, "I only came to look at it." "Then come again and look at the hole," said the neighbor, "it will be the same as looking at the gold."
守財奴
從前,有個守財奴將他的金塊埋到一棵樹下,每週他都去把他挖出來看看。
一天晚上,一個小偷挖走了所有的金塊。 守財奴再來檢視時,發現除了一個空洞什麼都沒有了。
守財奴便捶胸痛哭。哭聲引來了鄰居,他告訴他們這裡原來有他的金塊。
問明瞭原因後,一個鄰居問:“你使用過這些金塊嗎?” “沒用過,” 他說,“我只是時常來看看。”“那麼,以後再來看這個洞,”鄰居說,“就像以前有金塊時一樣。”
寓意: 即使是再珍貴的東西,如果不善加使用,也不會帶來任何好處。
