A PIGEON(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.
Moral:Zeal should not outrun discretion.
一只鸽子口渴得很难受,看见画板上画着一只水杯。她并不以为那只是一幅画,而是发出一声响亮的呼噜声,朝画飞去,无意中撞在了招牌上,把自己撞得很不稳。她的翅膀被风吹断了,摔在地上,被一个旁观者抓住。
寓意:热情不应超过谨慎。

The Bat and the Weasels(蝙蝠与黄鼠狼)
Abat who fell upon the ground and was caught by a Weasel pleaded to be spared his life. The Weasel refused, saying that he was by nature the enemy of all birds. The Bat assured him that he was not a bird, but a mouse, and thus was set free. Shortly afterwards the Bat again fell to the ground and was caught by another Weasel, whom he likewise entreated not to eat him. The Weasel said that he had a special hostility to mice. The Bat assured him that he was not a mouse, but a bat, and thus a second time escaped.
Moral:It is wise to turn circumstances to good account.
一只蝙蝠坠落到地上,被黄鼠狼叼去,他请求饶命。黄鼠狼拒绝了,说他生来就是鸟类的天敌。蝙蝠向他保证他不是一只鸟,而是一只老鼠,于是就被放了出来。不一会儿,蝙蝠又掉到地上,被另一只黄鼠狼捉住了,他请求讨饶。黄鼠狼说他特别恨老鼠。蝙蝠向他保证自己不是老鼠,而是一只蝙蝠,因此第二次逃走了。

The Dog and the Shadow(狗和影子)
It happened that a Dog had got a piece of meat and was carrying it home in his mouth to eat it in peace. Now, on his way home he had to cross a plank lying across a running brook. As he crossed, he looked down and saw his own shadow reflected in the water beneath. Thinking it was another dog with another piece of meat, he made up his mind to have that also. 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.
Moral:Beware lest you lose the substance by grasping at the shadow.
一只狗嘴里衔着一块肉,走过一条河上面的桥,看见他自己在水里的影子,以为是另一只狗,那时狗衔着的肉,比他自己的还要大一倍。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。
寓意:谨记,切莫因追逐幻影而丢失已有的东西

Making His Mark
A man from the state of Chu was taking a boat across a river when he dropped his sword into the water carelessly. Immediately he made a mark on the side of the boat where the sword dropped, hoping to find it later. When the boat stopped moving, he went into the water to search for his sword at the place where he had marked the boat. As we know, the boat had moved but the sword had not. Isnt this a very foolish way to look for a sword?
楚国有个人坐船渡江时,他不小心把自己的一把宝剑掉落江中。他马上掏出一把小刀,在宝剑落水的船舷上刻上一个记号。船靠岸后,那楚人立即从船上刻记号的地方跳下水去捞取掉落的宝剑。他怎么找得到宝剑呢?船继续行驶,而宝剑却不会再移动。像他这样去找剑,真是太愚蠢可笑了。
