:驢和哈巴狗
A man had an ass and lovely lap-dog.
一個人有一頭驢和一隻可愛的哈巴狗。
The ass was left in a stable, and had plenty of oats and day to eat, just as any other ass would. The lap-dog knew many tricks, and was a great favourite with his master.
驢關在欄裡,享受著和其他驢同等的待遇—燕麥和乾草。哈巴狗卻會很多的鬼把戲,深得主人的寵愛。
The master seldom went out to dine or to super without bringing him something nice to eat when he jumped about him in a pleasant manner. The ass, on the contrary, had much work to do, in grinding the corn-mill and in carrying wood from the forest or burdens from the farm,. He often co plained about his own hard fate, and contrasted it with the luxury and idleness of the lap-dog. At last one day he broke the chain and ran into his master’s house, kicking up his heels without measuring and jumping as well as he pieces. He then tried to lick his master, and jumped upon his back. The servants hearing the strange noise, and imagining the danger of his master, quickly helped him out of the situation and drove out the ass to his stable, with kicks and beatings. The ass, as he returned to his stall beaten nearly to death, thus cried and said sadly, “I have brought it all on myself! Why could I not have been contented to labour with my companions, and not wish to be idle all the day like that useless little alp-dog1”
主人出去吃晚飯或午飯,每次都要給小狗帶回好吃的東西,這時他就會在主人身旁歡快地跳躍,以博取主人的歡心。驢卻大相庭徑,他有很多的事情要做;到磨坊去推磨,到樹林去揹回木材,或到農莊去馱運貨物。他常常自怨自艾命運太苦,並把自己的境遇同哈巴狗的安逸和懶惰作了一番比較。終於有一天他掙斷了韁繩,跑到主人屋亂跳亂踢一通,然後又在主人的身旁模仿這哈巴狗跳躍的摸樣試跳起來,可他踢壞了桌子,將桌子上的碗碟摔得粉碎。接著他又去舔它的主人,爬到主人的背上去。僕人們聽到了奇怪的聲響,以為他們的主人有危險,急忙幫他脫身,他們用棍棒將驢趕回到欄裡去。驢差不多被打了個半死。回到欄裡,驢哭訴著說:“這都是我自作自受!我為什麼不能和同伴們一起去幹活,不去奢望成為整日懶惰無用的小哈巴狗呢?”

星期天,鴕鳥回到公園,當他看到那位妙齡女郎在此散步時,心就東東跳個不停。但他暗自思量:“哎呀,面對愛情,我太羞答答答。也許,還有一次緣分。不過,這一週的確過得很愜意。”
-Love can be its own reward.
愛本身就是一種回報。
