青蛙就对海龟夸口说:

“你看,我住在这里多快乐!有时高兴了,就在井栏边跳跃一阵;疲倦了,就回到井

里,睡在砖洞边一回。或者只留出头和嘴巴,安安静静地把全身泡在水里:或者在软绵绵的

泥浆里散一回步,也很舒适。看看那些虾和蝌虾,谁也此不上我。而且,我是这个井里的主

人,在这井里极自由自在,你为什么不常到井里来游赏呢!”

那海龟听了青蛙的话,倒真想进去看看。但它的左脚还没有整个伸进去,右脚就已经绊

住了。它连忙后退了两步,把大海的情形告诉青蛙说:

“你看过海吗?海的广大,哪止千里;海的深度,哪只千来丈。古时候,十年有九年大

水,海里的水,并不涨了多少;后来,八年里有七年大旱,海里的水,也不见得浅了多少。

可见大海是不受旱涝影响的。住在那样的大海里,才是真的快乐呢!”

井蛙听了海龟的一番话,吃惊地呆在那里,再没有话可说了。

Have you not heard of the frog that lived in a shallow well? It said to a turtle that lived in the East Sea, "I am so happy! When I go out, I jump about on the railing beside the mouth of the well. When I come home,I rest in the holes on the broken wall of the well. If I jump into the water, it comes up to my armpits and holds up my cheeks. If I walk in the mud, it covers up my feet. I look around at the wriggly worms, crabs and tadpoles, and none of them can compare with me. Moreover, I am lord of this trough of water and I stand up tall in this shallow well. My happiness is full. My dear sir, why don't you come often and look around my place?"

Before the turtle from the East Sea could get its left foot in the well, its right knee got stuck. It hesitated and retreated. The turtle told the frog about the East Sea.

"Even a distance of a thousand li cannot give you an idea of the sea's width; even a height of a thousand ren cannot give you an idea of its depth. In the time of King Yu of the Xia dynasty, there were floods nine years out of ten, but the waters in the sea did not increase. ln the time of King Tang of the Shang dynasty there were droughts seven years out of eight, but the waters in the sea did not decrease. The sea does not change along with the passage of time and its level does not

rise or fall according to the amount of rain that falls. The greatest happiness is to live in the East Sea."

After listening to these words, the frog of the shallow well was shocked into realization of his own insignificance and became very ill at ease.

【第二篇:A Handful of Clay】

There was a handful of clay in the bank of a river. It was only common clay, coarse and heavy; but it had high thoughts of its own value, and wonderful dreams of the great place which it was to fill in the world when the time came for its virtues to be discovered.

Overhead, in the spring sunshine, the trees whispered together of the glory which descended upon them when the delicate blossoms and leaves began to expand, and the forest glowed the fair, clear colors, as if the dust of thousands of rubies and emeralds were hanging, in soft clouds, above the earth.

The flowers, surprised with the joy of beauty, bent their heads to one another, as the wind caressed them, and said: "Sisters, how lovely you have become. You make the day bright."

The river, glad of new strength and rejoicing in the unison

of all its waters, murmured to the shores in music, telling of its release from icy fetters, its swift flight from the snow-clad mountains, and the mighty work to which it was hurrying --- the wheels of many mills to be turned, and great ships to be floated to the sea.

Waiting blindly in its bed, the clay comforted itself with lofty hopes. "My time will come," it said. "I was not made to be hidden forever. Glory and beauty and honor are coming to me in due season."

One day the clay felt itself taken from the place where it had waited so long. A flat blade of iron passed beneath it, and lifted it, and tossed it into a cart with other lumps of clay, and it was carried far away, as it seemed, over a rough and stony road. But it was not afraid, nor discouraged, for it said to itself: "This is necessary. The path to glory is always rugged. Now I am on my way to play a great part in the world."

But the hard journey was nothing, compared with the tribulation and distress that came after it. The clay was put into a trough and mixed and beaten and stirred and trampled. It seemed almost unbearable. But there was consolation in the thought that something very fine and noble was certainly coming out of all this trouble. The clay felt sure that, if it could

only wait long enough, a wonderful reward was in store for it.

Then it was put upon a swiftly turning wheel, and whirled around until it seemed as if it must fly into a thousand pieces.

A strange power pressed it and molded it, as it revolved, and through all the dizziness and pain it felt that it was taking a new form.

Then an unknown hand put it into an oven, and fires were kindled about it --- fierce and penetrating --- hotter than all the heats of summer that had ever brooded upon the bank of the river. But through all, the clay held itself together and endured its trials, in the confidence of a great future. "Surely," it thought, "I am intended for something very splendid, since such pains are taken with me. Perhaps I am fashioned for the ornament of a temple, or a precious vase for the table of a king."

At last the baking was finished. The clay was taken from the furnace and set down upon a board, in the cool air, under the blue sky. The tribulation was passed. The reward was at hand.

Close beside the board there was a pool of water, not very deep, not very clear, but calm enough to reflect, with impartial truth, every image that fell upon it. There for the first time, as it

was lifted from the board, the clay saw its new shape, the reward of all its patience and pain, the consummation of its hopes --- a common flower-pot, straight and stiff, red and ugly. And then it felt that it was not destined for a king's house, nor for a palace of art, because it was made without glory or beauty or honor; and it murmured against the unknown maker, saying, "Why hast thou made me thus?"

Many days it passed in sullen discontent. Then it was filled with earth, and something --- it knew not what --- but something rough and brown and dead-looking, was thrust into the middle of the earth and covered over. The clay rebelled at this new disgrace. "This is the worst of all that has happened to me, to be filled with dirt and rubbish. Surely I am a failure."

But presently it was set in a greenhouse, where the sunlight fell warm upon it, and water was sprinkled over it, and day by day as it waited, a change began to come to it. Something was stirring within it --- a new hope. Still it was ignorant, and knew not what the new hope meant.

One day the clay was lifted again from its place, and carried into a great church. Its dream was coming true after all. It had a fine part to play in the world. Glorious music flowed

over it . It was surrounded with flowers. Still it could not understand. So it whispered to another vessel of clay, like itself, close beside it, "Why have they set me here? Why do all the people look toward us?" And the other vessel answered, "Do you not know? You are carrying a royal scepter of lilies. Their petals are white as snow, and the heart of them is like pure gold. The people look this way because the flower is the most wonderful in the world. And the root of it is in your heart."

Then the clay was content, and silently thanked its maker, because, though an earthen vessel, it held so great a treasure.

一撮黏土

从前在一条河边有这么一撮黏土。说来也不过是普通的黏土,质地粗拙;但他对自己的价值却抱有很高的看法,对它在世界上所可能占有的地位具有奇妙的梦想,认为一旦时运到来,自己的美德终将为人发现。

头顶上,在明媚的春光里,树木正在交头接耳地窃窃私语,讲述着当纤细的林花和树叶开始吐放,林中一片澄澈艳丽时它们身上所沾沐的无尽光辉,那情景,宛如无数红绿宝石粉末所形成的朵朵彩云,

轻柔地悬浮在大地之上。

花儿看到这种美景惊喜极了,它们在春风的抚摸中探头欠身互相祝贺:“姐妹们,你们出落得多可爱啊,你们真是给白日增辉。”

河水也因为增添了新的力量而感到高兴,它沉浸在水流重聚的欢乐之中,不断以美好的音调向河岸喃喃絮语,叙述着自己是怎么挣脱冰雪的束缚,怎么从积雪覆盖的群山奔腾跑到这里,以及它匆忙前往担负的重大工作--- 无数水车的轮子等待着它去推动,巨大的船只等待着它去送往海上。

黏土懵懵懂懂地呆在河床,不断用种种远大理想来安慰自己。“我的时运终将到来,”它说,“我是不会长久被埋没的。世间的种种光彩,荣耀,在适当的时候,会降临到我的头上。”

一天,黏土发现它自己挪了位置,不在原来长期苦守的地方了。一铲下去,它被挖了起来,然后和别的泥土一起装到一辆车上,沿着一条似乎很不平坦铺着石块的路,运到遥远的地方去。但它并不害怕,也不气馁,而只是心里在想:“这完全是必要的。通往光荣的道路总是艰难崎岖的。现在我就要到世界上去完成我的重大使命。”

这段路程非常辛苦,但比起后来所经受的种种折磨痛苦却又不算什么。黏土被抛进一个槽子里面,然后便是一番搀和,捶打,搅拌,践踏。真是不堪其苦。但是一想到某种美好崇高的事物必将从这一番痛苦中产生出来,也就感到释然了。黏土坚决相信,只要它能耐心地等待下去,总有一天它将得到重酬。

接着它被放到一只飞速转动着的悬盘上去,自己也跟着团团旋转

起来,那感觉真好象自己即将被甩得粉身碎骨。在旋转中,仿佛有一种神力把它紧紧搏捏在一起,所以尽管它经历一切眩晕痛苦,它觉着自己已经开始变成一种新的形状。

然后一只陌生的手把它透进炉灶,周围烈火熊熊--- 真是痛心刺骨--- 那灼热程度远比盛夏时节河边的艳阳要厉害得多。但整个期间,黏土始终十分坚强,经受了一切考验,对自己的伟大前途信心不坠。它心想,“既然人家对我下了这么大的工夫,我是注定要有一番锦绣前程的。看来我不是去充当庙堂殿宇里的华美装饰,便是成为帝王几案上的名贵花瓶。”

最后烘培完毕。黏土从灶中取出,放在一块木板上面,让它在蓝天之下凉风之中去慢慢冷却。一番磨难既过,报偿的日子也就不远了。

木板之旁便有一泓潭水,水虽不深也不很清,但却波纹平静,能把潭边的事物,公正如实地反映出来。当黏土被人从板上拿起来时,它这才第一次窥见了自己新的形状,而这便是它千辛万苦之后的报偿,它的全部心愿的成果--- 一只普普通通的花盆,线条粗硬,又红又丑。这时它才感觉到自己既不可能登帝王之家,也不可能入艺术之宫,因为自己的外貌一点也不高雅华贵;于是它对自己那位无名的制造者喃喃抱怨起来,“你为什么把我造成这等模样?”

自此一连数日它抑郁不快。接着它给装上了土,另外还有一件东西--- 是什么它弄不清,但灰黄粗糙,样子难看--- 也给插到了土的中间,然后用东西盖上。这个新的屈辱引起了黏土的极大不满。“我的不辛现在是到了极点,让人装起脏土垃圾来了。我这一生算是完了。”

但是过了不久,黏土又给人放进了一间温室,这里阳光和煦地照射着它,并且经常给它喷水,这样就在它一天天静静等候的时候,某种变化终于开始到来。某种东西正在体内萌动--- 莫非是希望重生!但它对此仍然毫不理解,也不懂得这个希望意味着什么。

一天黏土又给人从原地搬起,送进一座宏伟的教堂。它多年的梦想这回终将实现了。它在世界上的确是有所作为的。这时空际仙乐阵阵,四周百花飘香。但它对这一切仍不理解。于是踏便向它身旁和它一模一样的另一个黏土器皿悄声问到,“为什么他们把我放在这里?为什么所有的人都向我们张望?”那个器皿答到,“怎么你还不知道吗?你现在身上正怀着一棵状如王节的美丽百合。它那花瓣皎白如雪,它那花心有如纯金。人们的目光都集中到这里,因为这株花乃是世界上最了不起的。而花的根就在你的心里。

这时黏土心满意足了,它暗暗地感谢它的制造者,因为虽然自己只是一只泥土器皿,但里面装的却是一件稀世奇珍。

【第三篇:The Clever Little T ailor】

Once upon a time there was a princess who was ever so proud: if any man came to woo her she would set him a riddle, and if he couldn't guess it he was laughed to scorn and sent packing. She also had it made known that whoever did guess the answer to her riddle should marry her, no matter who he might be. And indeed, in the end it so happened that three tailors were making the attempt at the same time. The two

eldest reckoned that as they had already successfully sewn many a delicate stitch, they could hardly go wrong and were bound to succeed here as well; the third was a feckless, giddy young fellow who didn't even know his trade properly but thought he was bound to have luck in this case, for if not, then what luck would he ever have in any other case. The two others said to him: "You'd better just stay at home, you with your feather-brain won't get far." But the young tailor wouldn't be put off, saying that he had set his heart on this enterprise and would manage all right; and off he went, sauntering along as if the whole world belonged to him.

So all three of them appeared before the princess and asked her to put her riddle to them: she would find, they said, that she had met her match this time, because their wits were so sharp that you could thread a needle with them. So the princess said: "I have two kinds of hair on my head, what colours are they?" "That's easy," said the first, "I think they're black and white, like the cloth they call pepper and salt. "The princess said: "You've guessed wrong; let the second of you answer." So the second said: "If it's not black and white, then it's brown and red like my respected father's frock-coat." "Wrong again," said the princess. "Let the third of you answer, I

can see he knows it for sure." So the young tailor stepped forward boldly and said: "The princess has silver and gold hair on her head, and those are the two colours." When the princess heard that, she turned pale and nearly fainted away in alarm, for the young tailor had guessed right, and she had been convinced that no one in the world would be able to do so. When she had recovered herself she said: "This still doesn't give you the right to marry me, there's something else you must do first. Down in the stable there's a bear, and you must spend the night with him. If you're still alive when I get up tomorrow morning, then you shall marry me." But she thought that she would get rid of the young tailor in this way, because no one had ever got into this bear's clutches and lived to tell the tale. But the young tailor wasn't to be daunted. "Nothing venture, nothing win," he commented cheerfully.

So that evening our young friend was taken down to the bear's den. And sure enough, the bear at once advanced on the little fellow, meaning to welcome him with a good swipe of his paw. "Not so fast, not so fast," said the young tailor, "I'll soon take the steam out of you." And in leisurely manner, as if he were quite unconcerned, he took some walnuts out of his pocket, cracked them open with his teeth and ate the kernels.

When the bear saw this, his appetite was whetted and he wanted some nuts as well. The young tailor put his hand in his pocket and held out some to him: these, however, weren't nuts but pebbles. The bear stuck them in his mouth, but couldn't crack a single one of them, bite as he might. Goodness me, what a booby I am, thought the bear, I can't even crack nuts. And he said to the young tailor: "Hey, crack these nuts for me!" "There now, what a fellow you are!" said the tailor. "A big muzzle like that and you can't even crack a little nut!" And he took the stones, but nimbly put a nut into his mouth instead, and crack! He bit open the shell. "I must try that again," said the bear. "To look at you doing it, you'd think I'd find it easy." So the young tailor gave him another lot of pebbles, and the bear worked away at them, biting for dear life. But as you may imagine, they were more than he could crack. After this, the young tailor pulled out a fiddle from under his coat and began playing a tune on it. When the bear heard the music, he couldn't help himself and began to dance, and when he'd danced for a little he found himself enjoying it so much that he said to the tailor. "Tell me, is it difficult to play the fiddle?" "It's child's play: look, my left hand fingers the strings, my right hand scrapes away at them with the bow, and out comes a

merry noise, tralala." "Then I could dance whenever I liked. What do you say to that? Will you give me lessons?" "I'll be delighted to," said the tailor, "If you have the skill for it. but let's have a look at your paws: they're a mighty length, I'll have to pare your nails down a bit." So a vice was fetched, and the bear held out his paws, but the young tailor screwed them in tightly and said: "Now wait till I get the scissors." So saying, he left the bear to stand there and growl, lay down in the corner on a pile of straw and went to sleep.

The princess, hearing the bear growl so loudly that night, assumed that he must be growling with satisfaction, having made an end of the tailor. In the morning she got up feeling very pleased and not worried at all, but when she took a look at the stable there was the young tailor standing outside it cock-a-hoop and safe and sound. So then there was nothing more she could say, because she'd publicly promised to marry him; and the king sent for a carriage to take her and the tailor to church to be married. As they drove off, the other two tailors, who were false-hearted and envied him his good fortune, went into the stable and unscrewed the bear. The bear in a great rage charged off in pursuit of the carriage. The princess heard him growling and snorting and cried out in

terror: "Oh, the bear's after us, he's coming to get you!" With great presence of mind the tailor stood on his head, stuck his legs out of the window and shouted: "Do you see this vice? If you don't clear off I'll screw you back into it." When the bear saw that, he turned round and ran away. Our young friend then drove on to the church as calm as you like, and the princess gave him her hand at the altar, and he lived with her as happy as a woodlark. There's a fine of three marks for anyone who doesn't believe this story.

I. Translation for Reference

聪明的小裁缝

从前,有一个非常高傲的公主。求婚的人一来,她就给人家出谜语。要是猜不出来,她就嘲笑人家,把人家赶出去。她还向世人宣告说,只要是能猜中她谜语的,不管是谁,都可以和她结婚。后来,有三个裁缝一起来了。两个年纪大的心里想,他们过去曾经做过许多精细的针线活,都获得了成功,这次猜谜也一定不会出错,准能猜到。另一个裁缝是一个没什么才干的冒失的小伙子,连自己的手艺都不太熟练。可是他想,这回一定会有好运气,不然的话,真不知道到哪里去碰好运气呢。两个年纪大的裁缝对小伙子说:“呆在家里,你的智慧还不够用,干不了什么了不起的大事。”可是,小裁缝却不甘心。他说,他算豁出去了,一定要去试试看看。他义无反顾潇潇洒洒地走了去,就好象整个世界都是他的似的。

他们三个人来到公主面前,请她给他们出谜语。他们说,公主会发现这回遇上了对手,因为他们是顶尖高手,智慧超群思维精细得简直可以用来穿针引线。于是,公主说:“我头上有两种头发,都是什么颜色的?”“这太容易了!”第一个裁缝说,“是黑色和白色呗!就像人们说的黑白点混成的灰布似的。”公主说:“猜得不对。第二个回答吧!”于是,第二个裁缝回答说:“要不是黑色和白色的,那就是像我可敬的爸爸的那件礼服大衣似的,是棕色和红色的。”公主说:“猜得不对。第三个人回答吧!看样子,这个人一定能知道喽!”于是,小裁缝大胆地走过去说:“公主头上的头发是金色和银色的,就是这两种颜色。”公主一听这话,惊得面如土色,险些昏厥过去。因为,小裁缝猜对了。过去,她深信不疑世界上没有人能猜对。公主恢复常态后说道:“这还不行,我还不能和你结婚。你还得做一件事情。你要在下边的兽棚里和熊住一夜。明天我醒的时候,如果你还活着,我就和你结婚。”公主心里想,这下就能把小裁缝除掉了。因为,熊还没有让谁从自己脚爪下活着出去的。可是,小裁缝毫不气馁,还是高高兴兴地说:“不入虎穴,焉得虎子。”

到了晚上,小裁缝被带到熊笼里。熊马上向他猛扑过来要用它那有力的脚掌来好好欢迎它的客人。“慢慢来!慢慢来!”小裁缝说,“我一会儿就会叫你安静下来的!”他好像一点儿也没有担心害怕的样子,逍遥自在地从衣袋里拿出几个核桃,咬开后,吃着核桃仁。熊看见小裁缝吃,被激起了食欲,也想吃。小裁缝把手伸进衣袋里,拿出一把交给熊。但是这不是核桃,而是鹅卵石。熊把石头放进嘴里,不论怎

样用力,却一个也咬不开。哎呀呀!我真是个废物,连个核桃都咬不动了!熊心里想着,就对小裁缝说:“喂,你帮我把这核桃咬开!”“你看看你,真是个没用的家伙!那么大的一张嘴,连一个小核桃都咬不开!”小裁缝说着,把石头接过来,敏捷地换了个核桃放进嘴里,嘎嘣一下子把核桃咬开。熊说,“看你做得如此轻巧,我一定要再试试!”于是,小裁缝又给熊一些鹅卵石。熊用尽力气去咬,你可想而知,它是怎么也咬不开的。这件事就这样过去了。小裁缝从衣裳里拿出一把小提琴,拉了一支曲子。熊听见音乐声,情不自禁地跳起舞来。跳了一会儿,它发现自己太喜欢这玩意了,于是就对小裁缝说:“老实告诉我,拉小提琴难学吗?”小裁缝说:“这非常容易。你看,左手指按上琴弦,右手拉着琴弓。就这么一拉,美妙的音乐就出来了!”“就这么拉吗?”熊说,“那我高兴的时候就可以跳舞了。你看怎么样?你能教教我吗?”“我乐意效力!”小裁缝说,“只要你和灵巧的话就可以了。你把脚掌伸出来让我看看。哎呀,你指甲太长,我得把你的指甲剪下来一点!”于是,小裁缝把老虎钳子拿出来。熊伸出爪子,小裁缝紧紧地把熊爪拧在老虎钳子中以后,说:“你等一等,我拿剪刀去!”说完,小裁缝走到角落里的麦捆上睡觉去了,只剩下熊站在那里吼叫。

那天晚上,公主听见熊吼得很凶,心里想:熊一定把小裁缝干掉了,高兴地吼叫呢!第二天早晨,公主放心了,高高兴兴地起了床,但她到兽棚子一看,只见小裁缝得意洋洋地站在那里,安然无恙。公主再也说不出一句反对结婚的话了。因为那是她当众答应了的。国王

派来了马车,公主和小裁缝坐上去,要一起到教堂举行婚礼。他们坐上马车走的时候,那两个阴险的裁缝,对小裁缝得到幸福十分嫉妒,就但兽棚里去,拧开老虎钳子,把熊放了出来。熊气得火冒三丈,在马车后面猛追。公主听见了熊的吼叫,咆哮,害怕地喊起来:“哎呀!熊追来了!熊要把你抓走复仇啊!”小裁缝说着拿了个大顶,把两只脚伸到马车窗户外边去,喊到:“来呀,看见这把老虎钳子了吗?你要是不滚开,我还用老虎钳子夹你!”熊听了这话,掉过头去就逃跑了,小裁缝不慌不忙地到了教堂,和公主举行婚礼典礼。从那以后,他们就像云雀似的过着快乐的生活。谁要是不相信这故事是真的就叫他掏出三块钱来。

He wished to become a millionaire, and so did his wife. He had heard from some old men before, that several ships loaded with diamonds and gold had once sunk in the nearby seashore. Because of this, for a long time he kept searching that whole area for this treasure. One day, while he was sitting on the boat daydreaming, he suddenly felt that the fishing rod was being weighed down by a heavy object. He excitedly pulled hard at it, and what he saw made him exclaim, "Wow! A big, shiny gold chain!" He pulled hard at the gold chain to get it into the boat, but there seemed to be no end to it. His boat started to get over-loaded and the sea water filled his boat. However, he had begun dreaming of a big house, a big piece of land and buying horses and cows...He kept pulling in the chain though the boat kept sinking. The boat was finally submerged and he struggled to stay afloat. Unfortunately his feet were entangled in the gold chain and he drowned. 很久以前,有个贫穷的渔夫,总是梦想发财,他希望自己成为百万富翁,他妻子更是如此。他曾听一些老人讲过,过去有几艘载满金银珠宝的船只沉没在这附近的海域里。因此,长期以来,他一直在这一带的海域里搜寻着,希望能打捞到一些金银珠宝。 有一天,他出海捕鱼,当他坐在船上想入非非时,忽然感到钓线被非常沉重的东西拖住了。他一下兴奋起来,使劲地往上拉鱼线,当鱼线拖出水面时,他不禁大声尖叫起来:“哗!金光闪闪的长金链!”他喜出望外,拼命地把金链往船上拖,可是金链很长,似乎没有尽头。由于金链很重,小船严重超载,海水灌进了船内。 然而,他却依旧做着没完没了的黄粱美梦:“我可以买一幢大房子,置一大片稻田,再买下几头牛、几匹马…”尽管小船一直往下沉,他却依然贪心地拖着金链。最后,小船终于沉下去了。他在水中拼命挣
