　　：The Jackdaw and The Pigeons

　　A jackdaw***寒鴉，穴鳥***, watching some pigeons in a farmyard, was filled with envy when he saw how well they were fed, and determined to disguise himself as one of them, in order to secure a share of the good things they enjoyed. So he painted himself white from head to foot and joined the flock, and, so long as he was silent, they never suspected that he was not a pigeon like themselves. But one day he was unwise enough to start chattering, when they at once saw through his disguise and pecked him so unmercifully that he was glad to escape and join his own kind again. But the other jackdaws did not recognize him in his white dress, and would not let him feed with them, but drove him away, and so he became a homelesswanderer***流浪者*** for his pains.

　　：The Fox and the Geese

　　The fox once came to a meadow***草地，牧場*** in which was a flock of fine fat geese, on which he smiled and said, "I come in the nick of time***及時，恰好***, you are sitting together quite beautifully, so that I can eat you up one after the other."

　　The geese cackled***咯咯叫*** with terror, sprang up, and began to wail and beg piteously for their lives. But the fox would listen to nothing, and said, "There is no mercy to be had! You must die."

　　At length one of them took heart and said, "If we poor geese are to yield up our vigorousyoung lives, show us the only possible favour and allow us one more prayer, that we may not die in our sins, and then we will place ourselves in a row, so that you can always pick yourself out the fattest." "Yes," said the fox, "that is reasonable, and a pious request. Pray away, I will wait till you are done."

　　Then the first began a good long prayer, for ever saying, "Ga! Ga!" and as she would make no end, the second did not wait until her turn came, but began also, "Ga! Ga!" The third and fourth followed her, and soon they were all cackling together.

　　When they have done praying, the story shall be continued further, but at present they are still praying without stopping.

　　：Hans Married

　　There was once upon a time a young peasant named Hans, whose uncle wanted to find him a rich wife. He therefore seated Hans behind the stove, and had it made very hot. Then he fetched a pot of milk and plenty of white bread, gave him a bright newly-coined farthing in his hand, and said, "Hans, hold that farthing fast, crumble the white bread into the milk, and stay where you are, and do not stir from that spot till I come back." "Yes," said Hans, "I will do all that."

　　Then the wooer put on a pair of old patched***打補丁的*** trousers, went to a rich peasant's daughter in the next village, and said, "Won't you marry my nephew Hans -- you will get an honest and sensible man who will suit you?" The covetous***貪婪的*** father asked, "How is it with regard to his means? Has he bread to break?" "Dear friend," replied the wooer***求婚者***, "my young nephew has a snug***舒適的*** berth, a nice bit of money in hand, and plenty of bread to break, besides he has quite as many patches as I have," ***and as he spoke, he slapped the patches on his trousers, but in that district small pieces of land were called patches also.*** "If you will give yourself the trouble to go home with me, you shall see at once that all is as I have said." Then the miser***守財奴*** did not want to lose this good opportunity, and said, "If that is the case, I have nothing further to say against the marriage."

　　So the wedding was celebrated on the appointed day, and when the young wife went out of doors to see the bridegroom's property, Hans took off his Sunday coat and put on his patched smock-frock and said, "I might spoil my good coat." Then together they went out and wherever a boundary line came in sight, or fields and meadows were divided from each other, Hanspointed with his finger and then slapped either a large or a small patch on his smock-frock, and said, "That patch is mine, and that too, my dearest, just look at it," meaning thereby that his wife should not stare at the broad land, but look at his garment, which was his own.

　　"Were you indeed at the wedding?" "Yes, indeed I was there, and in full dress. My head-dress was of snow; then the sun came out, and it was melted. My coat was of cobwebs, and I had to pass by some thorns which tore it off me, my shoes were of glass, and I pushed against a stone and they said, "Klink," and broke in two.
