One day, a king was travelling in his own land. He saw a farmer so absorbed in his work that hedid not even notice a snake coiling round his leg.
一天，国王在他的国家巡游，看见一个农夫正专心地锄地，以至连一条蛇缠住他的腿都没有发觉。
The king shouted,“Dear man, there is a snake on your leg!”
国王大声惊叫起来：“汉子，你的腿被一条蛇缠住了呀!”
The farmer just shook the snake off and continued his work.
农夫抖了抖腿把蛇甩开，然后继续锄地。
The king was very curious and asked,“Dear man, don't you know that the snake can harmyou? You ignored it and kept working. Is the work more important than your life?”
国王感到很奇怪，问：“汉子，你不知道那蛇会咬伤你吗?你却满不在乎地干活，难道干活比你的命还重要吗?”
The farmer said,“Your Majesty, the only thing that is threatening me is not the snake but thefood. If I don't work hard, when the next spring comes, my family members will starve todeath!”
农夫说：“陛下，真正威胁我生命的不是蛇，而是食物。如果我不拼命耕作，明年春天一到，我一家老小就全饿死了!”
The king sympathized with the farmer and he instructed his prime minister to give the farmer abig sum of money.
国王听了，很同情这个农夫的处境，他命令首相给了农夫一大笔救济金。
A year later, the king met the farmer again. He was well dressed and looked rather plump. Hewas not farming now but there was a bandage on his right arm.
一年后，国王又遇见了那个农夫。他衣着华丽，脑满肠肥，甚为富裕。他没有锄地，右臂缠着绷带。
The king asked him,“Dear man, what happened to your arm?”
国王上前问他：“汉子，你的胳膊怎么啦?”
“Your Majesty,”the farmer replied,“my finger was pricked by a thorn on the pumpkin. Now Ineed a rest to take care of my arm.”
“陛下!”农夫答道，“我的手指被南瓜刺扎了一下。现在我需要休息来养养胳膊。”
The king was astonished.“When you were such a poor man, you were not afraid of a snakebite. You only kept working hard. But now you need a rest after being pricked by a little thornon the pumpkin!”
国王惊叹道：“啊!想当年你穷的时候，蛇都不怕，拼命地干活。现在让南瓜刺扎了一下就想歇息了!”
The farmer said,“Your Majesty, you have forgotten what people usually say: that was before,now it is different!”
农夫说：“尊敬的国王，您忘了人们常说：此一时，彼一时嘛!”
A man was strolling along the beach when he suddenly noticed from afar what he thought werechildren dancing.
有个人在沙滩上散步，在不经意间看到远处好像有孩子在跳舞。
“What on earth are they doing dancing on the beach?”as he quickly paced towards them.
“他们为什么要在沙滩上跳舞呢?”他边想边快速地朝孩子们走去。
He was surprised that a boy and a girl were not dancing but picking up the starfishes whichwere washed ashore by the tide and throwing them back into the sea.
他惊奇地发现，那个男孩和那个女孩并不是在跳舞，而是在捡被潮水冲上岸来的海星，然后把它们扔回大海。
“Excuse me, why are you throwing the starfishes back into the sea?”he asked.
“请问，你们为什么要把海星扔回大海呢?”他问。
The children ignored the remark but they continued picking up the starfishes and kept throwingthem back into the sea.
孩子们没有理会他，继续捡海星向大海扔去。
“Don't you think it is a waste of your time as there are hundreds of starfishes still lying around.Surely you can't keep this act all day long.”
“你们不觉得这是在浪费时间吗?还有成千上万只海星躺在岸上呢!你们肯定不会一整天都这样扔下去吧。”
At last the elder boy replied,“Sir, you see the sun would soon rise and the tide will ebb away.
后来，年龄大一点儿的男孩说：“先生，你知道吗，太阳很快就要升起来了，潮水也会退去。
Though my sister and I can't throw all the starfishes back into the sea, we are sure it mattersto the ones we succeed in throwing.
虽然我和妹妹不能把所有的海星都扔回大海，但我相信，对于被我们扔回大海的海星来说，我们所做的是至关重要的。
Would you like to join us, it would make a difference.”The man smiled and said,“It certainlywould,”so he too pick up the starfishes and threw them into the sea.
你想加入我们吗?这很有意义。”那人笑了笑说：“非常愿意。”于是，他也捡起海星，朝大海扔去。

All the mice came. Many mice spoke, but none knew what to do. At last a young mouse stood up and said,“We must put a bell on the cat. Then, when the cat comes near, we shall hear the bell and run away and hide. So the cat will not catch any more mice.”
所有的老鼠都来了。很多老鼠都发言了，但是，谁也不知道该怎么办。最后，有一只年轻的老鼠站起来说：“我们必须在猫的身上挂一个铃铛，这样一来，当猫走近时，我们听到铃声，就可以躲起来了，猫就再也抓不到老鼠了。”
