　　小馬過河

　　One day, a colt took a bag of wheat to the mill. As he was running with the bag on his back, he came to a small river. The colt could not decide whether he could cross it.

　　一天，一匹小馬馱著麥子去磨坊。當它馱著口袋向前跑去時?突然發現一條小河擋住了去路。小馬為難了，這可怎麼辦呢，它向四周望了望， 看見一頭奶牛在河邊吃草。小馬問道：“牛阿姨，請您告訴我，這條河我能趟過去嗎。”奶牛回答說：“水很淺，剛到膝蓋。”

　　The colt was crossing the river when a squirrel jumped down fron a tree and stopped him. The squirrel shouted, “Colt, stop! You’ll drown! One of my friends drowned just yesterday in the river.” Not knowing what to do, the colt went home to consult his mum.

　　小馬正準備過河，突然從樹上跳下一隻松鼠，攔住它大叫道：“小馬，別過河，你會被淹死的。昨天，我的一個夥伴就在這條河裡淹死啦。”小馬不知如何是好，於是決定回家問問媽媽。

　　He told his mum his experience on the way. His mother said, “My child, don’t always listen to others. You’d better go and try yourself. Then you’ll know what to do.”

　　Later, at the river,the squirrel stopped the colt again. “Little horse, it’s too dangerous!” “No, I want to try myself,” answered the colt. Then he crossed the river carefully.

　　小馬把路上的經歷告訴了媽媽。媽媽說：“孩子，光聽別人說是不行的，你自己親自去試一試，就知道答案了。”小馬回到河邊，剛要下水，松鼠又大叫起來：“小馬，你不要命啦。”小馬說：“讓我自己試試吧。”他一面回答一面下了河，小心地趟了過去。

　　You see, real knowledge comes from practice.

　　這下明白了吧，實踐才能出真知!

　　兩個士兵和強盜

　　wo Soldiers travelling together were set upon by a Robber. One of them ran away, but the other stood his ground, and laid about him so lustily with his sword that the Robber was fain to fly and leave him in peace. When the coast was clear the timid one ran back, and, flourishing his weapon, cried in a threatening voice, “Where is he? Let me get at him, and I’ll soon let him know whom he’s got to deal with.” But the other replied, “You are a little late, xiaogushi8 my friend: I only wish you had backed me up just now, even if you had done no more than speak, for I should have been encouraged, believing your words to be true. As it is, calm yourself, and put up your sword: there is no further use for it. You may delude others into thinking you’re as brave as a lion: but I know that, at the first sign of danger, you run away like a hare.”

　　兩個士兵一起趕路，途中被一個強盜所劫。其中一個士兵馬上逃跑了，另一個則勇敢地握著劍立在原地，強盜不得不其他而逃。這時候，那個膽小的士兵跑過來，抽出劍，壯著膽子大喝一聲：“他去哪裡了?讓我來對付他，我要讓他知道面對的是什麼人。”然而，那名勇敢的士兵說：“你來晚了，我的朋友。要是你剛才能幫我就好了，即便只是嘴上這樣說也好，因為我會受到你這番話的鼓舞，並且相信這些話都說真的。而現在，還是請你把劍收好，已經沒有必要再用它了。你只能欺騙其他人，讓人們以為你像雄獅一樣勇敢;而我卻知道，在遇到危險時，你會像兔子一樣落荒而逃。”
