很久以前，房子裏有隻大貓。他抓住了許多偷吃糧食的老鼠。一天，老鼠們開會討論對付貓的辦法。有的說這樣，有有的說那樣。最後一隻小老鼠站起來，說他有一個好辦法：我們給貓的脖子上拴一個鈴當，當貓走近的時候，我們就可以聽到鈴聲，就可以逃跑了。每個老鼠都同意這個建議，但是一隻老老鼠站起來說：那誰去給貓戴上鈴當呢？老鼠們你看我，我看你，沒人出聲了。
Little Robert asked his mother for two cents.
"What did you do with the money I gave you yesterday？"
"I gave it to a poor old woman," he answered.
"You're a good boy," said the mother proudly. "Here are two cents more. But why are you so interested in the old woman？"
"She is the one who sells the candy."

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.
(有一天風跟太陽說：“看看那個沿着路上走的人，我可以比你快讓他把披風脫下來。)
(“我們等着看吧，”太陽說，“我讓你先試。)
(因此風嘗試讓那個人把披風脫下來。他用力地吹，可是那個人把披風拉得更緊。)
(“我放棄了，”風最後說,，“我無法讓他把披風脫下來。”然後由太陽試試看，他儘可能地曬他。不久，那個人很熱就把披風脫下來了。)
Once there were two mice. They were friends. One mouse lived in the country; the other mouse lived in the city. After many years the Country mouse saw the City mouse; he said, "Do come and see me at my house in the country." So the City mouse went. The City mouse said, "This food is not good, and your house is not good. Why do you live in a hole in the field? You should come and live in the city. You would live in a nice house made of stone. You would have nice food to eat. You must come and see me at my house in the city."
The Country mouse went to the house of the City mouse. It was a very good house. Nice food was set ready for them to eat. But just as they began to eat they heard a great noise. The City mouse cried, " Run! Run! The cat is coming!" They ran away quickly and hid.
After some time they came out. When they came out, the Country mouse said, "I do not like living in the city. I like living in my hole in the field. For it is nicer to be poor and happy, than to be rich and afraid."
從前，有兩隻老鼠，它們是好朋友。一隻老鼠居住在鄉村，另一隻住在城裏。很多年以後，鄉下老鼠碰到城裏老鼠，它說：“你一定要來我鄉下的家看看。”於是，城裏老鼠就去了。鄉下老鼠領着它到了一塊田地上它自己的家裏。它把所有最精美食物都找出來給城裏老鼠。城裏老鼠說：“這東西不好吃，你的家也不好，你爲什麼住在田野的地洞裏呢？你應該搬到城裏去住，你能住上用石頭造的漂亮房子，還會吃上美味佳餚，你應該到我城裏的家看看。”
鄉下老鼠就到城裏老鼠的.家去。房子十分漂亮，好吃的東西也爲他們擺好了。可是正當他們要開始吃的時候，聽見很大的一陣響聲，城裏的老鼠叫喊起來：“快跑！快跑！貓來了！”他們飛快地跑開躲藏起來。
過了一會兒，他們出來了。當他們出來時，鄉下老鼠說：“我不喜歡住在城裏，我喜歡住在田野我的洞裏。因爲這樣雖然貧窮但是快樂自在，比起雖然富有卻要過着提心吊膽的生活來說，要好些。
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.
Zeal should not outrun discretion.
有隻鴿子口渴得很難受，看見畫板上畫着一個水瓶，以爲是真的。他立刻呼呼地猛飛過去，
不料一頭碰撞在畫板上，折斷了翅膀，摔在地上，被人輕易地捉住了。
這是說，有些人想急於得到所需的東西，一時衝動，草率從事，就會身遭不幸。
