1、a pigeon（鴿子）

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.

一只鴿子口渴得很難受，看見畫板上畫著一只水杯。她并不以為那只是一幅畫，而是發(fā)出一聲響亮的呼嚕聲，朝畫飛去，無意中撞在了招牌上，把自己撞得很不穩(wěn)。她的翅膀被風吹斷了，摔在地上，被一個旁觀者抓住。

寓意：熱情不應(yīng)超過謹慎。

2、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.

一只狗嘴里銜著一塊肉，走過一條河上面的橋，看見他自己在水里的影子，以為是另一只狗，那時狗銜著的肉，比他自己的還要大一倍。因此他仍掉自己的那一塊，狠狠地撲向那只狗，想奪到那一塊較大的肉。結(jié)果兩頭都落了空，因為他想要抓取在水中的那一塊，只不過是一個影子，而原來的那一塊，也被水沖走了。

寓意：謹記，切莫因追逐幻影而丟失已有的東西。

The Thirsty Pigeon口渴的鴿子

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.

Zeal should not outrun discretion.

The Raven and the Swan烏鴉和天鵝

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 as he would, he could not change their color, while through want of food he perished.

Change of habit cannot alter Nature.

烏鴉非常羨慕天鵝潔白的羽毛。他猜想天鵝一定是經(jīng)常洗澡，羽毛才變得如此潔白無 瑕。于是，他毅然離開了他賴以生存的祭壇，來到江湖邊。他天天洗刷自己的羽毛，不但一 點都沒洗白，反而因缺少食物饑餓而死。

這故事是說，人的本性不會隨著生活方式的改變而改變。

Do not attempt to hide things which cannot be hid.
