In Spring and Autumn Period, there was a man named Kong Yu, who was a senior official of the State of Wei. He was clever and diligent in study. He had a good habit of asking questions. Whenever there was something he didn’t understand, he would ask others about it. Moreover, he often consulted someone who was less knowledgeable than him or someone inferior to him. Every time he did this, he didn’t feel ashamed about it at all.
After he died, the prince of State of Wei granted him a name “Wen”. Confucius later on also respected him very much and asked his students to learn from him.
In the State of Chu, there was a man whose family was very poor. The man never worked hard but to think about getting rich overnight.
One day, he read in a book that the mantis would hide its body under a leaf when it was going to catch a cicada and no one could find it. He wanted a leaf like this.
Thereupon, he ran into the woods to look for such a leaf. Finally he found the leaf and was ready to get it. But he was in such a big hurry that, out of carelessness, the leaf dropped to the ground. So he had to put all the leaves into a basket and carry them home.
As soon as he got home, he held up one leaf after another in turn to cover his eye, and asked his wife: “Can you see me?” At first, his wife always answered: “Yes, I can.” After a while, she became impatient and when his husband asked her again, she said: “No, I can’t see you now!” Hearing this, he became excited and ran out to the street. Holding the leaf in his hand, he grabbed the goods in a shop. But he was caught in the end.
A RAVEN saw a Swan and desired to secure for himself the same beautiful plumage. Supposing that the Swan's splendid white color arose from his washing in the water in which he swam, the Raven left the altars in the neighborhood where he picked up his living, and took up residence in the lakes and pools. But cleansing his feathers as often a she would, he could not change their color, while through want of food he perished.
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.
A GOATHERD had sought to bring back a stray goat to his flock. He whistled and sounded his horn in vain; the straggler paid no attention to the summons. At last the Goatherd threw a stone,and breaking its horn, begged the Goat not to tell his master. The Goat replied, "Why, you silly fellow, the horn will speak though I be silent.
Do not attempt to hide things which cannot be hid.
One day the wind said to the sun, “Look at that man walking along the road. I can get his cloak off more quickly than you can.”
“We will see about that,” said the sun. “I will let you try first.”
So the wind tried to make the man take off his cloak. He blew and blew, but the man only pulled his cloak more closely around himself.
“I give up,” said the wind at last. “I cannot get his cloak off.” Then the sun tried. He shone as hard as he could. The man soon became hot and took off his cloak.
One day the staff members of a zoo called a meeting to discuss the problem--how to deal with the kangaroos that were found out of the cage. They came to the conclusion that the cage was placed too low and decided to raise it from one to two meters high.
But the next day the kangaroos were still at large and they again raised the cage to three meters.Quite beyond their expectation the next morning they saw the kangaroos still free to go about.
They were alarmed and determined to go to all the length by raising the cage to the height of ten meters.Later a giraffe, while chatting with some kangaroos, asked them, “Do you think they will go on raising your cage?”
“Hard to say,” said a kangaroo, “if they continue forgetting to fasten the cage door.”

This time, the father said nothing would forgive the little girl.
这次，父亲说什么也不会原谅小姑娘了。
"Why are the chickens crying? By chance?"
“这些鸡为什么乱叫？是偶然的吗？”
The father was angry and came out to the yard.
父亲气呼呼地跑到院子里。
"What's wrong with you? Is it okay to bother animals that can't talk? You need to be punished."
“你怎么回事？打搅这些不会说话的动物是正确的行为吗？你应该受到惩罚。”
When the little girl saw her father's angry face, she began to cry.
当小女孩瞥到父亲愤怒的脸时，她便忍不住哭了起来。
"It is true that I bothered the chickens, but I was bored yesterday. But today I went in to apologize to the chickens. I was going to hug the chickens."
“我是打扰那些鸡休息了，但那是因为我昨天很无聊。但是今天，我是来向鸡道歉的。我正打算抱抱那只鸡，可谁知……”
When the father heard what his daughter said, a smile quickly appeared on his face."You are truly my daughter."The father praised his daughter.

The battle was very fierce1, and had lasted some time without any sign of coming to an end, when a sprat thought that perhaps he could stop it; so he stepped in and tried to persuade them to give up fighting and make friends. But one of the dolphins said to him contemptuously, "We would rather go on fighting till we're all killed than be reconciled2 by a sprat like you!
These two very old people are the father and mother of Mr Bucket. Their names are Grandpa Joe and Grandma Josephine.And these two very old people are the father and mother of Mrs Bucket. Their names are Grandpa George and Grandma Georgina.
This is Mr Bucket. This is Mrs Bucket.Mr and Mrs Bucket have a small boy whose name is Charlie.This is Charlie.How d'you do? And how d'you do? And how d'you do again? He is pleased to meet you.
The whole of this family — the six grown-ups (count them) and little Charlie Bucket — live together in a small wooden house on the edge of a great town.
The house wasn't nearly large enough for so many people, and life was extremely uncomfortable for them all. There were only two rooms in the place altogether, and there was only one bed. The bed was given to the four old grandparents because they were so old and tired. They were so tired, they never got out of it.Grandpa Joe and Grandma Josephine on this side, Grandpa George and Grandma Georgina on this side.
Mr and Mrs Bucket and little Charlie Bucket slept in the other room, upon mattresses on the floor.
In the summertime, this wasn't too bad, but in the winter, freezing cold draughts blew across the floor all night long, and it was awful.
There wasn't any question of them being able to buy a better house — or even one more bed to sleep in. They were far too poor for that.
Mr Bucket was the only person in the family with a job. He worked in a toothpaste factory, where he sat all day long at a bench and screwed the little caps on to the tops of the tubes of toothpaste after the tubes had been filled. But a toothpaste cap-screwer is never paid very much money, and poor Mr Bucket, however hard he worked, and however fast he screwed on the caps, was never able to make enough to buy one half of the things that so large a family needed. There wasn't even enough money to buy proper food for them all. The only meals they could afford were bread and margarine for breakfast, boiled potatoes and cabbage for lunch, and cabbage soup for supper. Sundays were a bit better. They all looked forward to Sundays because then, although they had exactly the same, everyone was allowed a second helping.
The Buckets, of course, didn't starve, but every one of them — the two old grandfathers, the two old grandmothers, Charlie's father, Charlie's mother, and especially little Charlie himself — went about from morning till night with a horrible empty feeling in their tummies.Charlie felt it worst of all. And although his father and mother often went without their own share of lunch or supper so that they could give it to him, it still wasn't nearly enough for a growing boy. He desperately wanted something more filling and satisfying than cabbage and cabbage soup. The one thing he longed for more than anything else was . . . CHOCOLATE.

So he made a snap at the shadow in the water, but as he opened his mouth the piece of meat fell out, dropped into the water and was never seen more.
因此他仍掉自己的那一块，狠狠地扑向那只狗，想夺到那一块较大的肉。结果两头都落了空，因为他想要抓取在水中的那一块，只不过是一个影子，而原来的那一块，也被水冲走了。
笑而不语出惊人言可畏

海豚、鲸和西鲱鱼
The dolphins quarrelled with the whales, and before very long they began fighting with one another. The battle was very fierce1, and had lasted some time without any sign of coming to an end, when a sprat thought that perhaps he could stop it; so he stepped in and tried to persuade them to give up fighting and make friends. But one of the dolphins said to him contemptuously, "We would rather go on fighting till we're all killed than be reconciled2 by a sprat like you!
海豚与鲸争吵起来，他们之间已经争斗了很久，战争一步步升级，并且越打越猛烈，根本没有一点要停的迹象，有一条西鲱鱼认为自己或许能够调停他们的战争，便过去准备劝他们停止斗争，成为朋友。但是，海豚轻蔑地对他说：我们宁可争斗到同归于尽，也不会让一条像你这样的西鲱鱼来调解.
查理与巧克力工厂
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
These two very old people are the father and mother of Mr Bucket. Their names are Grandpa Joe and Grandma Josephine.And these two very old people are the father and mother of Mrs Bucket. Their names are Grandpa George and Grandma Georgina.
This is Mr Bucket. This is Mrs Bucket.Mr and Mrs Bucket have a small boy whose name is Charlie.This is Charlie.How d'you do? And how d'you do? And how d'you do again? He is pleased to meet you.
The whole of this family — the six grown-ups (count them) and little Charlie Bucket — live together in a small wooden house on the edge of a great town.
The house wasn't nearly large enough for so many people, and life was extremely uncomfortable for them all. There were only two rooms in the place altogether, and there was only one bed. The bed was given to the four old grandparents because they were so old and tired. They were so tired, they never got out of it.Grandpa Joe and Grandma Josephine on this side, Grandpa George and Grandma Georgina on this side.
Mr and Mrs Bucket and little Charlie Bucket slept in the other room, upon mattresses on the floor.
In the summertime, this wasn't too bad, but in the winter, freezing cold draughts blew across the floor all night long, and it was awful.
There wasn't any question of them being able to buy a better house — or even one more bed to sleep in. They were far too poor for that.
Mr Bucket was the only person in the family with a job. He worked in a toothpaste factory, where he sat all day long at a bench and screwed the little caps on to the tops of the tubes of toothpaste after the tubes had been filled. But a toothpaste cap-screwer is never paid very much money, and poor Mr Bucket, however hard he worked, and however fast he screwed on the caps, was never able to make enough to buy one half of the things that so large a family needed. There wasn't even enough money to buy proper food for them all. The only meals they could afford were bread and margarine for breakfast, boiled potatoes and cabbage for lunch, and cabbage soup for supper. Sundays were a bit better. They all looked forward to Sundays because then, although they had exactly the same, everyone was allowed a second helping.
The Buckets, of course, didn't starve, but every one of them — the two old grandfathers, the two old grandmothers, Charlie's father, Charlie's mother, and especially little Charlie himself — went about from morning till night with a horrible empty feeling in their tummies.Charlie felt it worst of all. And although his father and mother often went without their own share of lunch or supper so that they could give it to him, it still wasn't nearly enough for a growing boy. He desperately wanted something more filling and satisfying than cabbage and cabbage soup. The one thing he longed for more than anything else was . . . CHOCOLATE.
这幢房子住了这么多人可太挤了，实在难受。整座房子一共只有两个房间，他们也只有一张床。床就由四位老人睡，因为他们太老了，实在是劳累终生，操劳过度，所以他们根本起不了床。
乔爷爷和约瑟芬奶奶睡在床的这一头，乔治外公和乔治娜外婆睡在另一头。
另一个房间的地板上放着床垫，巴克特夫妇和小查里·巴克特就睡在上面。
夏天这么睡倒还不坏，可到了冬天，凛冽的寒风一阵阵掠过地板，实在吃不消。
他们根本买不起好一些的房子——甚至连再买一张床也不可能，他们实在太穷了。
家里只有巴克特先生有工作，他在一家牙膏厂干活。在那儿他整天坐在一条长凳上，给灌满了牙膏的牙膏管旋上盖子。可一个旋牙膏管盖的工人的工资绝不会很多，不管巴克特先生干活多卖劲，也不管他动作有多块，还是赚不到哪怕是维持这么个大家庭所需生活费用的一半，甚至连给全家买最起码的食物的钱也不够。这一来他们早
餐只能吃面包和人造奶油，中饭只能吃住马铃薯和卷心菜，而晚上只能吃卷心菜汤，只有在星期天才稍微好些。因此他们都盼望着星期天的到来，尽管那一天吃的还是那么些东西，可每人能吃两份食物。
当然，巴克特一家还不至于饿死，可每个人——老爷爷奶奶、老外公外婆，查理的父亲，查理的母亲，特别是小查理――从早到晚总感到肚子里空荡荡的，难受极了。
查理饿得最厉害。尽管他的父母亲时常省下自己的那份中饭和晚饭给他吃，可对一个正在发育成长的男孩来说，这哪够啊。他非常渴望还有什么别的东西来填填肚子，而不要老是吃卷心莱和卷心莱汤。而他最想吃的东西是——巧克力。
