8.The Wolf and the Seven Little Kids 七只小山羊与狼
Once upon a time an old goat had seven little kids. One day she wanted to go into the forest to fetch some food. So she said to her kids, \Be on guard against the wolf. The wretch often disguises himself, but you will know him at once by his rough voice and his black feet. \ It was not long before someone knocked at the door and called,\,dear children,your mother is here, and has brought something back with her for each of you. \kids knew that it was the wolf .\,you are not our mother. She has a soft voice. Then the wolf went away to a shopkeeper and bought himself a lump of chalk to eat and made his voice soft. The he came back,and called,\paws against the window, and the children saw them and cried,\Then the wolf ran to a baker and made his paws white . When the kids saw his paws were white, they believed that all he said was true and opened the door. One after another he swallowed six. The youngest, who was in the clock,was the only one he did not find. Then the wolf went out and lay under a tree to sleep. Soon afterwards the old goat came home. Ah. What a sight she saw ! The door stood wide open. The table, chairs,and benches were thrown down,she called but no one answered. At last, a soft voice cried,\,I am in the clock. \,and it told her what had happened.
When they came to the meadow, they found the wolf. She looked at him and saw something moving and struggling in his belly. \,heavens,is it possible that my poor children can be still alive?\, a needle and thread ,The mother cut open the monster's stomach,all six sprang out and were all still alive. \will fill the wicked beast's stomach with stones while he is still asleep.\
When the wolf woke up he was thirsty,he wanted to go to a well to drink. And when he got to the well the heavy stones made him fall in and he drowned miserably. When the seven kids saw that,they came running to the spot and cried aloud, “The wolf is dead.!The wolf is dead!”and danced for joy round about the well with their mother.
9.The Emperor’s New Suit 皇帝的新衣
Many years ago, there lived an emperor. His only ambition was to be always well dressed. He had a coat for every hour.
One day two swindlers came to this city; they made people believe that they were weavers, and declared they could make the finest cloth.And the clothes made of their materials would be invisible to any man who was unfit for his office.
“That must be wonderful cloth,” thought the emperor. “If I were to be dressed in a suit made of this cloth, I should be able to find out which men in my empire were unfit for their places. ” He gave a lotof money to the swindlers. They set up two looms, and pretended to work, but they did nothing. “I 'd like to know how they are getting on with the cloth,” thought the emperor. But he felt rather uneasy when he remembered that he who was not fit for his office could not see it.“He sent his honest old minister to the weavers.
The good old minister went into the room where the swindlers sat before the empty looms.He opened his eyes wide, “I cannot see anything at all,” but he did not say so. The poor old minister tried his best, but he could see nothing,“Now, have you got anything to say?” said one of
the swindlers. “Oh, it is very pretty,” replied the old minister, looking through his glasses. “What a beautiful pattern, what brilliant colours! I shall tell the emperor that I like the cloth very much.”
“We are pleased to hear that,” said the two weavers, and described to him the colours and explained the curious pattern. Now the swindlers asked for more money, silk and gold-cloth, which they kept for themselves.
Everybody in the whole town talked about the precious cloth. At last the emperor wished to see it himself,“Your Majesty must admire the colours and the pattern.” “What is this?” thought the emperor, “I do not see anything at all. That is terrible! Am I stupid? Am I unfit to be emperor? That would indeed be the most dreadful thing that could happen to me.”
“It is very beautiful.” And all advised him to wear the new magnificent clothes at the coming great procession. The whole night before the procession, the swindlers pretended to be busy with the emperor’s new suit. They pretended to take the cloth from the loom, and worked about in the air with big scissors, and sewed with needles without thread, and said at last: “The emperor’s new suit is ready now.”
The emperor and all his barons came to the hall; the swindlers held their arms up as if they held something in their hands and said: “These are the trousers!” “This is the coat!” and “Here is the cloak!. “They are all as light as a cobweb, and one must feel as if one had nothing at all upon the body; but that is just the beauty of them.”
“Indeed!” said all the courtiers; but they could not see anything,“
The emperor undressed, and the swindlers pretended to put the new suit upon him, one after another; and the emperor looked at himself in the glass.
“How well they look! How well they fit!” said all. “I am ready,” said the emperor.
The emperor marched in the procession, and all who saw him in the street and out of the windows exclaimed: “Indeed, the emperor’s new suit is incomparable! What a long train he has! How well it fits him!” Nobody wished to let others know he saw nothing,
“But he has nothing on at all,” said a little child. “Good heavens! listen to the voice of an innocent child,” said the father, and one whispered to the other what the child had said. The chamberlains walked with greater dignity, as if they carried the train which did not exist.
10.. The Story of a Rabbit 兔子的故事
There was a rabbit who enjoyed playing tricks on other animals.
One day as he was walking in the woods, near the sea he came across a huge elephant “How are you, Mr Elephant?” he called out. “ How much you eat!”
“That’s because I’m so big,” replied the elephant. “ Small animals like you don’t need much food, but large and powerful animals like me need a lot!”
“Large you certainly are!” said the rabbit, “but powerful…?” “You don’t think I’m powerful?” asked the elephant.
“I’m sure you are, “ said the rabbit.” But are you more powerful than me?”
“Powerful? You?” “Yes, me.”
The elephant doubled up with laughter.
“You’re laughing because you don’t know how strong I am,” said the rabbit. “If you let me tie a rope around your middle, I’ll drag you into the sea.”
“Drag me into the sea?!” laughed the elephant. “Hoo-hooo – hoooo!! Well, go ahead! Tie a rope around me and let me see how far you can pull me!” The rabbit tied a thick rope around the elephant’s body.
The rabbit ran to the seashore with the other end of the rope.
He saw a whale swimming some distance away, and called out to it. When the whale drew near he said, “Mr Whale you’re so big but are you strong?”
“I’m the strongest animal on earth!” bellowed the whale.
“I’ll show you how wrong you are,” said the rabbit.” Let me tie this rope around your middle.” “And then?”
“I’ll drag you ashore.”
The whale doubled up with laughter.
“All right, go ahead,” he giggled.” Tie your rope around me and pull me out!”
The rabbit tied the rope around the whale’s middle. Then he ran ashore and rushed into the woods, hid behind a tree and shouted, “Pull!” The two animals, hidden from each other’s sight by the trees in between, marveled at the strength of the rabbit. They tried their best, but neither could get the better. Finally the rope broke and the two animals fled in opposite directions.
From then on whenever the elephant saw the rabbit he would quickly hide himself or run away.
