　　：The hart in the ox-stall

　　牛欄裡的雄鹿

　　A hart was being pursued by some dogs. It ran into an ox-stall, and hid itself in a truss of hay. Only the tips of its horns could be seen.

　　一隻雄鹿被獵狗追趕得很急，跑進牛欄裡，躲在一大堆乾草裡面，只有鹿角尖露在外面。

　　Soon after the hunters came to the stable, and asked if anyone had seen the hart. The stable boys looked around, but could see nothing. So the hunters went away.

　　獵人們很快來到牛欄，詢問是否有人看到這頭鹿。牧童們四處張望，什麼也沒有看到，於是獵人們走了。

　　Later the master came in. He looked around, and saw that something unusual was there.

　　不久，主人回來了，他四處檢查時，覺得有些異常。

　　He pointed to the truss of hay, and asked, "What are those two strange things?" When the stable boys went to look, they discovered the hart.

　　他指著那堆乾草問：“那兩個怪模怪樣的東西是什麼?”牧童們上前來翻尋，發現了那隻鹿。

　　：The two pots

　　兩口鍋

　　There were two pots on the bank of a river. One was made of brass, and the other was made of clay.

　　河中漂流著一個瓦鍋和一個銅鍋。

　　When the water rose they both floated off down the river. The earthen pot tried to stay away from the brass one.

　　每當潮漲潮落時，瓦鍋就儘量地遠離銅鍋。

　　So the brass pot cried out, "Fear nothing, friend, I will not hit you."

　　銅鍋大叫：“別害怕，朋友，我不會撞你的。”

　　"But I may come in contact with you," said the earthen pot. "If I come too close, whether I hit you or you hit me, I shall suffer for it."

　　“但是我有可能會和你接觸，”瓦鍋對銅鍋說,“如果我離你太近，無論是你碰到我，或者是我自己不小心碰到你，我都會碎的。”

　　After that the earthen pot floated away.

　　然後，瓦鍋就漂走了。

　　"I am not a warrior," said he. "I only blow the trumpet. It cannot harm you; then why should you kill me?"

　　“我不是勇士，”他大聲叫道,“我僅有把銅號，它又不能傷人，你們為什麼要殺我呢?”

　　"You may not fight with a weapon," said the others, "but you encourage and guide your men to the fight."

　　“你沒有武器來戰鬥，”敵人對他說,“但是你卻召集你們所有的士兵來攻打我們。”

　　走了一會兒，她開始算計起賣完牛奶後要買的東西：“我要買一身新衣服，好去參加舞會，年輕的小夥子都會邀請我跳舞。”
