第一篇

The Thirsty Pigeon口渴的鸽子

A PIGEON, oppressed by excessive thirst, saw a goblet of water painted on a signboard. Not supposing it to be only a picture, she flew towards it with a loud whir and unwittingly dashed against the signboard, jarring herself terribly. Having broken her wings by the blow, she fell to the ground, and was caught by one of the bystanders.

Zeal should not outrun discretion.

有只鸽子口渴得很难受,看见画板上画着一个水瓶,以为是真的.他立刻呼呼地猛飞过去,不料一头碰撞在画板上,折断了翅膀,摔在地上,被人轻易地捉住了.

这是说,有些人想急于得到所需的东西,一时冲动,草率从事,就会身遭不幸.

One day the mice bad a meeting to talk about the way to deal with their common enemy.Some said this,and some said that.

At last a young mouse got up,and said that he had a good idea. “We could tie a bell around the neck of the cat.Then when he comes near,we can hear the sound of the bell,and run away.”

Everyone approved of this proposal,but an old wise mouse got up and said,“That is all very well,but who will tie the bell to the cat?”The mice looked at each other,but nobody spoke.
