　　：獅和鼠

　　it happened shortly after this that the lion was caught by some hunters, who bound him by strong ropes to the ground. the mouse, recognizing his roar, came up, and gnawed the rope with his teeth, and setting him free, exclaimed: "you ridiculed the idea of my ever being able to help you, not expecting to receive from me any repayment of your favour; but now you know that it is possible for even a mouse to confer benefits on a lion."

　　一隻老鼠從一隻獅子面前跑過去，將它從夢中吵醒。獅子生氣地跳起來，捉住老鼠，要弄死它。老鼠哀求說：「只要你肯饒恕我這條小生命，我將來一定會報答你的大恩。」獅子便笑著放了它。

　　：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."

　　"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.

　　一隻狼瞧見一隻迷路失群的小羊，決定暫緩下毒手，想先找一些理由，對小羊證明自己有吃它的權利。它就說：「小鬼!你去年曾經罵過我。」小羊可憐地說：「老實說，我去年還沒有出生呢。」狼再說：「你在我的草地上吃過草。」

　　：驢和蚱蜢

　　Ass having heard some Grasshoppers chirping, was highly enchanted; and, desiring to possess the same charms of melody, demanded what sort of food they lived on, to give them such beautiful voices. They replied, "The dew." The Ass resolved that he would only live upon dew, and in a short time died of hunger.

　　一隻驢聽到幾隻蚱蜢在叫，便覺得很有趣;於是也想得到同樣有趣的音調，便問蚱蜢吃什麼東西過活，以致於能有這樣優美的聲音。蚱蜢說：「露水。」驢子聽了，從此以後也單吃露水過活，不久便餓死了。

　　：狼和鸛雀

　　Wolf, having a bone stuck in his throat, hired a Crane, for a large sum, to put her head into his throat, and draw out the bone. When the Crane had extracted the bone, and demanded the promised payment, the Wolf, grinning and grinding his teeth, exclaimed: "Why, you have surely already a sufficient recompense, in having been permitted to draw out your head in safety from the mouth and jaws of a wolf."

　　一隻狼喉嚨鯁了一根骨頭，便用很多錢去僱請一隻鸛雀，將頭伸進他的喉嚨中，把那塊骨頭取出來。當鸛雀拔出那塊骨頭，向他索取約定的報酬，狼卻呲牙咧齒地說：「怎麼?允許你的頭從一隻狼的嘴巴和牙床中安全地伸出來，已經是莫大的報酬了。」為惡人效勞，不要希望得到報酬;要是能避免傷害，已經是萬幸了。
