A bird was confined in a cage outside a window. She often sang at night when all other birds were asleep.
One night a bat came. He asked the bird why she was silent by day and sang only at night.
The bird answered, “Last year when I was singing in the daytime, a bird catcher heard my voice and caught me in his net.Since then I have never sung by day.”
The bat replied, "But it is useless to do this now that you have become a prisoner." Then he flew away.
A little bird fly to south for the winter. It was very cold, almost frozen bird. Hence, fly to a large space, after a cow there, in a pile of cow dung upon the bird, frozen bird lying on the dunghill, feel very warm, gradually recovered, it is warm and comfortable lying, and soon began to sing songs, a passing wildcat hear voices, see, follow the voice, wildcats quickly found lying on the dunghill, bird, pull it out.

So Sam goes away. Sam meets a shark. He wants to say hello to the shark. The shark opens his big mouth. Sam runs away quickly. Sam is tired and hungry. He wants to have a rest. Then he sees a round fish. She says to him. “Hello! Would you like to be my friend?” Sam answers: “Of course! But you are sound. I am flat.” The round fish days: “But we are both fishes.” Sam thinks and says, “You are right. Let’s be friends.” They become good friends.
狼和七只小山羊
There was once upon a time an old goat who had seven little kids, and loved them with all the love of a mother for her children. One day she wanted to go into the forest and fetch some food. So she called all seven to her and said, "Dear children, I have to go into the forest, be on your guard against the wolf; if he comes in, he will devour you all -- skin, hair, and all. The wretch often disguises himself, but you will know him at once by his rough voice and his black feet." The kids said, "Dear mother, we will take good care of ourselves; you may go away without any anxiety." Then the old one bleated, and went on her way with an easy mind.
A wolf wanted to eat the sheep, but he was afraid of the vigilant shepherd and his dogs. One day the wolf found the skin of a sheep. He put it on and walked among the sheep. A lamb thought that the wolf was its mother because his skin looked like hers. So it followed the wolf. Soon after they had left the dogs, the wolf came at the lamb and ate it up. For some time he succeeded in deceiving the sheep, and enjoying hearty meals.
Early autumn in the pumpkin garden, there came seven wide mice escaping from a big and terrifying cat. They rushed into green vines and leaves aplenty with big and round pumpkins.
The prideful cat hunted around like a chicken with its head cut off in vain and finally left in dismay.
高傲的猫就像无头苍蝇一样四处寻找但一无所获，最后只好灰溜溜地走了。
“Hooray, we are safe now!”
“万岁，我们现在安全了!”
When they came out, they were deeply attracted. The giant pumpkin leaves were as huge as the lotus leaves while the pumpkins were orange through a summer’s sunlight.
The smallest mouse’s nose jutted out and got very close to a pumpkin. He smelled with a smile:
最小的一只老鼠伸出了鼻子，非常近地靠近一只南瓜，他闻了一下便笑了：
“Great, it’s sweat! It must be the biggest pumpkin I’ve ever seen. I am hungry now. I guess it must be better in my belly!”
“太棒了，好甜呀!这肯定是我见过的最大的南瓜了!我饿了，我猜它呆在我肚子里会比较 好!”
Other six mice were hungry to
“Running costs energy!”
另外六只老鼠也饿了：
“逃跑消耗能量!”
They rushed to the pumpkin and bit holes with their shape teeth. They ate, ate and ate not only the delicious meat but also the seed. Finally they stopped eating and felt good for their full and round bellies.
Then they burped and climbed out of the pumpkin. When they saw their great work, they all laughed:
他们打着饱嗝从南瓜里爬出来，当看见自己伟大的作品时全都笑了：
“Aha, look, the pumpkin has holes here and there!”
“啊哈，看呀，这南瓜已经千疮百孔了!”
The smallest mouse suddenly had a good idea and shouted:
“Why not roll it as a pumpkin cart. It must be very interesting!”
最小的老鼠突然有了一个好主意便叫道：
“为什么不把它滚起来就像南瓜车一样，这肯定非常有趣!”
Other six mice all agreed:
“Just do it!”
另外的六只老鼠附和道：
“想做就做!”
Then they all entered the pumpkin shell and pushed it ahead forcefully:
“Goodness me!The moon is really in the water!”

金丝雀与蝙蝠
●挂在窗口笼里的金丝雀，经常在鸟儿睡着的夜里歌唱。
●一天晚上，蝙蝠来了，飞过来问她为什么白天安静无声，夜里却要歌唱。
●金丝雀回答说：“去年我在白天唱歌时，捕鸟人听到我的歌声抓住了我。从此，我再也不在白天唱歌了。”
●蝙蝠说：“你现在才懂得谨慎已没用了，你若在变为囚徒之前就懂得，那该多好呀!”说完就飞走了。
寓意: 我们应该在危险发生之前就提高警觉，因为危险一旦发生，我们再怎样小心也没有用了。

粪堆里的小鸟
一只小鸟飞到南方去过冬。天很冷，小鸟几乎冻僵了。于是，飞到一大块空地上，一头牛经过那儿，拉了一堆牛粪在小鸟的身上，冻僵的小鸟躺在粪堆里，觉得很温暖，渐渐苏醒过来，它温暖而舒服的躺着，不久唱起歌来，一只路过的野猫听到声音，走过去看个究竟，循着声音，野猫很快发现了躺在粪堆里的小鸟，把它拽出来吃掉了。 生存之道：不是每个往你身上拉大粪的人都是你的敌人。也不是每个把你从粪堆里拉出来的人都是你的朋友，还有，当你躺在粪堆里时，最好把你的嘴闭上。

从前有只老山羊。它生了七只小山羊，并且像所有母亲爱孩子一样爱它们。一天，它要到森林里去取食物，便把七个孩子全叫过来，对它们说：“亲爱的孩子们，我要到森林里去一下，你们一定要提防狼。要是让狼进屋，它会把你们全部吃掉的——连皮带毛通通吃光。这个坏蛋常常把自己化装成别的样子，但是，你们只要一听 到他那粗哑的声音、一看到它那黑黑的爪子，就能认出它来。”小山羊们说：“好妈妈，我们会当心的。你去吧，不用担心。”老山羊咩咩地叫了几声，便放心地去了。
A Wolf in sheep's clothing
A wolf wanted to eat the sheep, but he was afraid of the vigilant shepherd and his dogs. One day the wolf found the skin of a sheep. He put it on and walked among the sheep. A lamb thought that the wolf was its mother because his skin looked like hers. So it followed the wolf. Soon after they had left the dogs, the wolf came at the lamb and ate it up. For some time he succeeded in deceiving the sheep, and enjoying hearty meals.
披着羊皮的狼
狼想吃羊，但是他害怕警惕的牧羊人和牧羊犬。 有一天狼发现了一块羊皮，便披着它混入羊群。 一只小羊羔把这只披着羊皮的狼误认为自己的妈妈，被领出了羊群。 狼成功地欺骗了羊群，吃掉了小羊羔。
寓意：事物的外表有时候会掩盖它的本质，所以我们不能只凭表面现象就作判断。

七只老鼠的南瓜车
Early autumn in the pumpkin garden, there came seven wide mice escaping from a big and terrifying cat. They rushed into green vines and leaves aplenty with big and round pumpkins.
南瓜园的初秋，跑进了七只野老鼠，他们正在逃避一只可怕的大猫。他们冲进了层层叠叠的绿色南 瓜藤和南瓜叶，上面正结满了又大又圆的南瓜。
The prideful cat hunted around like a chicken with its head cut off in vain and finally left in dismay.
高傲的猫就像无头苍蝇一样四处寻找但一无所获，最后只好灰溜溜地走了。
“Hooray, we are safe now!”
“万岁，我们现在安全了!”
When they came out, they were deeply attracted. The giant pumpkin leaves were as huge as the lotus leaves while the pumpkins were orange through a summer’s sunlight.
当他们出来时，被眼前的情景给深深地吸引了。大南瓜叶像荷叶一般大，而南瓜经过一个夏天的日 照已呈金黄色。
The smallest mouse’s nose jutted out and got very close to a pumpkin. He smelled with a smile:
最小的一只老鼠伸出了鼻子，非常近地靠近一只南瓜，他闻了一下便笑了：
“Great, it’s sweat! It must be the biggest pumpkin I’ve ever seen. I am hungry now. I guess it must be better in my belly!”

They rushed to the pumpkin and bit holes with their shape teeth. They ate, ate and ate not only the delicious meat but also the seed. Finally they stopped eating and felt good for their full and round bellies.
他们冲到那只南瓜前，用锋利的牙齿咬开洞洞。他们吃啊，吃啊，吃啊，不仅品尝了美味的南瓜肉 还有可口的南瓜籽。最后，他们的肚子变得滚圆滚圆才心满意足地作罢!
Then they burped and climbed out of the pumpkin. When they saw their great work, they all laughed:
他们打着饱嗝从南瓜里爬出来，当看见自己伟大的作品时全都笑了：
“Aha, look, the pumpkin has holes here and there!”
