:龜兔賽跑
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。
:戀愛中的獅子
The lion in love
A lion once fell in love with a beautiful girl, so he went to her parents and asked them to marry her to him.
The old parents did not know what to say.
They did not like the idea of giving their daughter to the lion, but they did not want to enrage the king of beasts.
At last the father said, "We are glad to marry our daughter to you, but we fear that you might possibly hurt her. So if you remove your claws and teeth, we will give her to you."
The lion loved the girl very much, so he trimmed his claws and took out his big teeth. When he came to the parents again, they simply laughed in his face, and beat him out of their house.
戀愛中的獅子
一隻獅子愛上了一位美麗的女孩兒,便找到她的父母向她求婚。
女孩兒的父親不知道該如何回答,他不忍將女兒許配給野獸,但又害怕激怒這獸中之王。
於是父親說:“我們很樂意將女兒嫁給你,但又怕你不小心傷害她,如果你拔去牙齒,剁掉利爪,我們就將女兒嫁給你。”
獅子非常愛這個女孩兒,於是他修剪了爪子,拔掉了尖牙後又去找女孩的父母。可是這時,他們嘲笑他,並把他趕了出去。
寓意: 有些人輕易相信別人的話,拋棄自己的長處,結果輕而易舉地被原來害怕他們的人擊敗了。
:披著獅皮的驢
he ass in the lion's skin
An ass once found a lion's skin. He put it on, and walked towards the village.
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."

不久,一隻狐狸也跑過來,對他說:“哦,你一張嘴我就知道你是驢。”
