The Old Cat
An old woman had a cat. The cat was very old; she could not run quickly, and she could not bite, because she was so old. One day the old cat saw a mouse; she jumped and caught the mouse. But she could not bite it; so the mouse got out of her mouth and ran away, because the cat could not bite it.

Then the old woman became very angry because the cat had not killed the mouse. She began to hit the cat. The cat said, "Do not hit your old servant. I have worked for you for many years, and I would work for you still, but I am too old. Do not be unkind to the old, but remember what good work the old did when they were young."

【译文】

老猫

一位老妇有只猫，这只猫很老，它跑不快了，也咬不了东西，因为它年纪太大了。一天，老猫发现一只老鼠，它跳过去抓这只老鼠，然而，它咬不住这只老鼠。因此，老鼠从它的嘴边溜掉了，因为老猫咬不了它。

于是，老妇很生气，因为老猫没有把老鼠咬死。她开始打这只猫，猫说：“不要打你的老仆人，我已经为你服务了很多年，而且还愿意为你效劳，但是，我实在太老了，对年纪大的不要这么无情，要记住老年人在年青时所做过的有益的事情。”

A man was going to the house of some rich person. As he went along the road, he saw a box of good apples at the side of the road. He said, "I do not want to eat those apples; for the rich man will give me much food; he will give me very nice food to eat." Then he took the apples and threw them away into the dust.

He went on and came to a river. The river had become very big; so he could not go over it. He waited for some time; then he said, "I cannot go to the rich man's house today, for I cannot get over the river."

He began to go home. He had eaten no food that day. He began to want food. He came to the apples, and he was glad to take them out of the dust and eat them.

Do not throw good things away; you may be glad to have them at some other time.

【译文】

一个人正朝着一个富人的房子走去，当他沿着路走时，在路的一边他发现一箱好苹果，他说：“我不打算吃那些苹果，因为富人会给我更多的食物，他会给我很好吃的东西。”然后他拿起苹果，一把扔到土里去。

他继续走，来到河边，河涨水了，因此，他到不了河对岸，他等了一会儿，然后他说：“今天我去不了富人家了，因为我不能渡过河。”

他开始回家，那天他没有吃东西。他就开始去找吃的，他找到苹果，很高兴地把它们从尘土中翻出来吃了。

不要把好东西扔掉，换个时候你会觉得它们大有用处。

The City Mouse and the Country Mouse

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."

【译文】

城里老鼠和乡下老鼠

从前，有两只老鼠，它们是好朋友。一只老鼠居住在乡村，另一只住在城里。很多年以后，乡下老鼠碰到城里老鼠，它说：“你一定要来我乡下的家看看。”于是，城里老鼠就去了。乡下老鼠领着它到了一块田地上它自己的家里。它把所有最精美食物都找出来给城里老鼠。城里老鼠说：“这东西不好吃，你的家也不好，你为什么住在田野的地洞里呢？你应该搬到城里去住，你能住上用石头造的漂亮房子，还会吃上美味佳肴，你应该到我城里的家看看。”

乡下老鼠就到城里老鼠的家去。房子十分漂亮，好吃的东西也为他们摆好了。可是正当他们要开始吃的时候，听见很大的一阵响声，城里的老鼠叫喊起来：“快跑！快跑！猫来了！”他们飞快地跑开躲藏起来。

过了一会儿，他们出来了。当他们出来时，乡下老鼠说：“我不喜欢住在城里，我喜欢住在田野我的洞里。因为这样虽然贫穷但是快乐自在，比起虽然富有却要过着提心吊胆的生活来说，要好些。”

“我给了一个可怜的老太婆，”他回答说。 “你真是个好孩子，”妈妈骄傲地说。“再给你两分钱。可你为什么对那位老太太那么感兴趣呢？”
“她是个卖糖果的。”

Drunk

One day, a father and his little son were going home. At this age, the boy was interested in all kinds of things and was always asking questions. Now, he asked, "What's the meaning of the word 'Drunk', dad?" "Well, my son," his father replied, "look, there are standing two policemen. If I regard the two policemen as four then I am drunk."
"But, dad," the boy said, " there's only ONE policeman!"

醉酒

一天，父亲与小儿子一道回家。这个孩子正处于那种对什么事都很感兴趣的年龄，老是有提不完的问题。他向父亲发问道：“爸爸，‘醉’字是什么意思？” “唔，孩子，”父亲回答说，“你瞧那儿站着两个警察。如果我把他们看成了四个，那么我就算醉了。” “可是，爸爸， ”孩子说，“那儿只有一个警察呀！”

粪堆里的小鸟

一只小鸟飞到南方去过冬。天很冷，小鸟几乎冻僵了。于是，飞到一大块空地上，一头牛经过那儿，拉了一堆牛粪在小鸟的身上，冻僵的小鸟躺在粪堆里，觉得很温暖，渐渐苏醒过来，它温暖而舒服的躺着，不久唱起歌来，一只路过的野猫听到声音，走过去看个究竟，循着声音，野猫很快发现了躺在粪堆里的小鸟，把它拽出来吃掉了。
生存之道：不是每个往你身上拉大粪的人都是你的敌人。也不是每个把你从粪堆里拉出来的人都是你的朋友，还有，当你躺在粪堆里时，最好把你的嘴闭上。

灰姑娘（中文版）

从前，有一个富人的妻子得了重病，在临终前，她把自己的独生女儿叫到身边说：“乖女儿，妈去了以后会在九泉之下守护你、保佑你的。”说完她就闭上眼睛死了。
她被葬在了花园里，小姑娘是一个虔诚而又善良的女孩，她每天都到她母亲的坟前去哭泣。冬天来了，大雪为她母亲的坟盖上了白色的毛毯。春风吹来，太阳又卸去了坟上的银装素裹。冬去春来，人过境迁，他爸爸又娶了另外一个妻子。

新妻子带着她以前生的两个女儿一起来安家了。她们外表很美丽，但是内心却非常丑陋邪恶。她们到来之时，也就是这个可怜的小姑娘身受苦难之始。她们说：“要这样一个没用的饭桶在厅堂里干什么？谁想吃上面包，谁就得自己去挣得，滚到厨房里做厨房女佣去吧！”

说完又脱去她漂亮的衣裳，给她换上灰色的旧外套，恶作剧似地嘲笑她，把她赶到厨房里去了。她被迫去干艰苦的活儿。每天天不亮就起来担水、生火、做饭、洗衣，而且还要忍受她们姐妹对她的漠视和折磨。到了晚上，她累得筋疲力尽时，连睡觉的床铺也没有，不得不睡在炉灶旁边的灰烬中，这一来她身上都沾满了灰烬，又脏，又难看，由于这个原因她们就叫她灰姑娘。

有一次，父亲要到集市去，他问妻子的两个女儿，要他给她们带什么回来。第一个说：“我要漂亮的衣裳。”第二个叫道：“我要珍珠和钻石。”他又对自己的女儿说：“孩子，你想要什么？”灰姑娘说：“亲爱的爸爸，就把你回家路上碰着你帽子的第一根树枝折给我吧。”

父亲回来时，他为前两个女儿带回了她们想要的漂亮衣服和珍珠钻石。在路上，他穿过一片浓密的矮树林时，有一根榛树枝条碰着了他，几乎把他的帽子都要扫下来了，所以他把这根树枝折下来带上了。回到家里时，他把树枝给了他女儿，她拿着树枝来到母亲的坟前，将它栽到了坟边。她每天都要到坟边哭三次，每次伤心地哭泣时，泪水就会不断地滴落在树枝上，浇灌着它，使树枝很快长成了一棵漂亮的大树。不久，有一只小鸟来树上筑巢，她与小鸟交谈起来。后来她想要什么，小鸟都会给她带来。

国王为了给自己的儿子选择未婚妻，准备举办一个为期三天的盛大宴会，邀请了不少年轻漂亮的姑娘来参加。王子打算从这些参加舞会的姑娘中选一个作自己的新娘。灰姑娘的两个姐姐也被邀请去参加。她们把她叫来说道：“现在来为我们梳好头发，擦亮鞋子，系好腰带，我们要去参加国王举办的舞会。”她按她们的要求给她们收拾打扮完毕后，禁不住哭了起来，因为她自己也想去参加舞会。她苦苦哀求她的继母让她去，可继母说道：“哎哟！灰姑娘，你也想去？你穿什么去呀！你连礼服也没有，甚至连舞也不会跳，你想去参加什么舞会啊？”灰姑娘不停地哀求着，为了摆脱她的纠缠，继母最后说道：“我把这一满盆豌豆倒进灰堆里去，如果你在两小时内把它们都拣出来了，你就可以去参加宴会。”说完，她将一盆碗豆倒进灰烬里，扬长而去。灰姑娘没办法，只好跑出后门来到花园里喊道："掠过天空的鸽子和斑鸠，飞来吧！飞到这里来吧！快乐的鸟雀朋友们，飞来吧！快快飞到这里来吧！大伙快来帮我忙，快快拣出灰中的碗豆来吧！”

先飞来的是从厨房窗子进来的两只白鸽，跟着飞来的是两只斑鸠，接着天空中所有的小鸟都叽叽喳喳地拍动着翅膀，飞到了灰堆上。小白鸽低下头开始在灰堆里拣起来，一颗一颗地拣，不停地拣！其它的鸟儿也开始拣，一颗一颗地拣，不停地拣！它们把所有的好豆子都从灰里拣出来放到了一个盘子里面，只用一个小时就拣完了。她向它们道谢后，鸟雀从窗子里飞走了。她怀着兴奋的心情，端着盘子去找继母，以为自己可以去参加宴会了。但她却说道：“不行，不行！你这个邋遢女孩，你没有礼服，不会跳舞，你不能去。”灰姑娘又苦苦地哀求她让她去。继母这次说道：“如果你能在一个小时之内把这样的两盘豌豆从灰堆里拣出来，你就可以去了。”她满以为这次可以摆脱灰姑娘了，说完将两盘豌豆倒进了灰堆里，还搅和了一会，然后得意洋洋地走了。但小姑娘又跑到屋后的花园里和前次一样地喊道："掠过天空的鸽子和斑鸠，飞来吧！飞到这里来吧！快乐的鸟雀朋友们，飞来吧！快快飞到这里来吧！大伙快来帮我忙，快快拣出灰中的豌豆来吧！”

先飞来的是从厨房窗子进来的两只白鸽，跟着飞来的是两只斑鸠，接着天空中所有的小鸟都叽叽喳喳地拍动着翅膀，飞到了灰堆上。小白鸽低下头开始在灰堆里拣起来，一颗一颗地拣，不停地拣！其它的鸟儿也开始拣，一颗一颗地拣，不停地拣！它们把所有的好豆子都从灰里拣出来放到了盘子里面，这次只用半个小时就拣完了。鸟雀们飞去之后，灰姑娘端着盘子去找继母，怀着极其兴奋的心情，以为自己可以去参加舞会了。但继母却说道：“算了！你别再白费劲了，你是不能去的。你没有礼服，不会跳舞，你只会给我们丢脸。”说完他们夫妻与她自己的两个女儿出发参加宴会去了。

现在，家里的人都走了，只留下灰姑娘孤伶伶地一个人悲伤地坐在榛树下哭泣："榛树啊！请你帮帮我，请你摇一摇，为我抖落金银礼服一整套。”

她的朋友小鸟从树上飞出来，为她带了一套金银制成的礼服和一双光亮的丝制舞鞋。收拾打扮、穿上礼服之后，灰姑娘在她两个姐妹之后来到了舞厅。穿上豪华的礼服之后，她看起来是如此高雅、漂亮、美丽动人极了。她们都认不出她，以为她一定是一位陌生的公主，根本就没有想到她就是灰姑娘，她们以为灰姑娘仍老老实实地待在家中的灰堆里呢。

王子看到她，很快向她走来，伸出手挽着她，请她跳起舞来。他再也不和其他姑娘跳舞了，他的手始终不肯放开她。每当有人来请她跳舞时，王子总是说：“这位女士在与我跳舞。”他们一起跳到很晚，她才想起要回家去了。王子想知道这位美丽的姑娘到底住在哪里，所以说道：“我送你回家去吧。”灰姑娘表面上同意了，但却趁他不注意时，悄悄地溜走，拔腿向家里跑去。王子在后面紧追不舍，她只好跳进鸽子房并把门关上。王子等在外面不肯离去，一直到她父亲回家时，王子才上前告诉他，说那位他在舞会上遇到的不知道姓名的姑娘藏进了这间鸽子房。当他们砸开鸽子房门时，里面却已空无一人，他只好失望地回宫去了。父母进屋子时，灰姑娘已经身穿邋遢的衣服躺在灰堆边上了，就像她一直躺在那儿似地，昏暗的小油灯在烟囱柱上的墙洞里摇晃着。实际上，灰姑娘刚才很快穿过鸽子房来到榛树前脱下了漂亮的礼服，将它们放回树上，让小鸟把它们带走，自己则回到屋里坐到了灰堆上，穿上了她那灰色的外套。

第二天，当舞会又要开始时，她的爸爸、继母和两个姐妹都去了。灰姑娘来到树下说："榛树啊！请你帮帮我，请你摇一摇，为我抖落金银礼服一整套。”

那只小鸟来了，它带来了一套比她前一天穿的那套更加漂亮的礼服。当她来到舞会大厅时，她的美丽使所有的人惊讶不已。一直在等待她到来的王子立即上前挽着她的手，请她跳起舞来。每当有人要请她跳舞时，他总是和前一天一样说：“这位女士在与我跳舞。”到了半夜她要回家去的时候，王子也和前一天一样跟着她，以为这样可以看到她进了哪一幢房子。但她还是甩掉了他，并立即跳进了她父亲房子后面的花园里。花园里有一棵很漂亮的大梨树，树上结满了成熟的梨。灰姑娘不知道自己该藏在什么地方，只好爬到了树上。王子没有看到她，他不知道她去了哪儿，只好又一直等到她父亲回来，才走上前对他说：“那个与我跳舞的不知姓名的姑娘溜走了，我认为她肯定是跳上梨树去了。”父亲暗想：“难道是灰姑娘吗？”于是，他要人去拿来一柄斧子，把树砍倒了一看，树上根本没有人。当父亲和继母到厨房来看时，灰姑娘和平时一样正躺在灰烬里。原来她跳上梨树后，又从树的另一边溜下来，脱下漂亮的礼服，让榛树上的小鸟带了回去，然后又穿上了她自己的灰色小外套。

第三天，当她父亲、继母和两个姐妹走了以后，她又来到花园里说道："榛树啊！请你帮帮我，请你摇一摇，为我抖落金银礼服一整套。”

她善良的朋友又带来了一套比第二天那套更加漂亮的礼服和一双纯金编制的舞鞋。当她赶到舞会现场时，大家都被她那无法用语言表达的美给惊呆了。王子只与她一个人跳舞，每当有其他人请她跳舞时，他总是说：“这位女士是我的舞伴。”当午夜快要来临时，她要回家了，王子又要送她回去，并暗暗说道：“这次我可不能让她跑掉了。”然而，灰姑娘还是设法从他身边溜走了。由于走得过于匆忙，她竟把左脚的金舞鞋失落在楼梯上了。

王子将舞鞋拾起，第二天来到他的国王父亲面前说：“我要娶正好能穿上这只金舞鞋的姑娘作我的妻子。”灰姑娘的两个姐妹听到这个消息后非常高兴，因为她们都有一双很漂亮的脚，她们认为自己穿上那只舞鞋是毫无疑问的。姐姐们由她妈妈陪着先到房子里去试穿那只舞鞋，可她的大脚趾却穿不进去，那只鞋对她来说太小了。于是她妈妈拿给她一把刀说：“没关系，把大脚趾切掉！只要你当上了王后，还在乎这脚趾头干嘛，你想到哪儿去根本就不需要用脚了。”大女儿听了，觉得有道理，这傻姑娘忍着痛苦切掉了自己的大脚趾，勉强穿在脚上来到王子面前。王子看她穿好了鞋子，就把她当成了新娘，与她并排骑在马上，把她带走了。

但在他们出门回王宫的路上，经过后花园灰姑娘栽的那棵榛树时，停在树枝上的一只小鸽子唱道："再回去！再回去！快看那只鞋！鞋太小，不是为她做的！王子！王子！再找你的新娘吧，坐在你身边的不是你的新娘！”

王子听见后，下马盯着她的脚看，发现鲜血正从鞋子里流出来，他知道自己被欺骗了，马上掉转马头，把假新娘带回她的家里说道：“这不是真新娘，让另一个妹妹来试试这只鞋子吧。”于是妹妹试着把鞋穿在脚上，脚前面进去了，可脚后跟太大了，就是穿不进去。她妈妈让她削去脚后跟穿进去，然后拉着她来到王子面前。王子看她穿好了鞋子，就把她当做新娘扶上马，并肩坐在一起离去了。

但当他们经过榛树时，小鸽子仍栖息在树枝头上，它唱道："再回去！再回去！快看那只鞋！ 鞋太小，不是为她做的！王子！王子！再找你的新娘吧，坐在你身边的不是你的新娘！”

王子低头一看，发现血正从舞鞋里流出来，连她的白色长袜也浸红了，他拨转马头，同样把她送了回去，对她的父亲说：”这不是真新娘，你还有女儿吗？“父亲回答说：“没有了，只有我前妻生的一个叫灰姑娘的小邋遢女儿，她不可能是新娘的。”然而，王子一定要他把她带来试一试。灰姑娘先把脸和手洗干净，然后走进来很有教养地向王子屈膝行礼。王子把舞鞋拿给她穿，鞋子穿在她脚上就像是专门为她做的一样。他走上前仔细看清楚她的脸后，认出了她，马上兴奋的说道：“这才是我真正的新娘。”继母和她的两个姐妹大吃一惊，当王子把灰姑娘扶上马时，她们气得脸都发白了，眼睁睁地看着王子把她带走了。他们来到榛树边时，小白鸽唱道："回家吧！回家吧！快看那只鞋！王妃！这是为你做的鞋！王子！王子！快带新娘回家去，坐在你身边的才是真正的新娘。”

鸽子唱完之后，飞上前来，停在了灰姑娘的右肩上。他们一起向王宫走去。

灰姑娘（English)

Long ago, in a land far away, there lived a beautiful young girl.

She was very sad. Her mother had died and her father had married again. His new wife had two ugly daughters, Esmerelda and Griselda.

Soon after, her father also died and life immediately changed for the girl.

"You will be our servant, "said her stepmother. "You will do everything we say."

"You must sleep in the kitchens, by the fire," said the stepsisters.

After tending the fire, and cooking and leaning, the girl's clothes were very dirty. She was called to clear away dishes.

"There are cinders all over your clothes!" exclaimed the stepmother. "Cinders for Cinderella. That's your new name. Clear these things away, Cinderella."

"Cinderella! Cinderella!" sang Esmerelda and Griselda. "Oh, how clever you are, Mama!"

Cinderella had to work very hard, as all the other servants were dismissed.

One day, an invitation arrived from the palace.

"Girls, listen to this," said the stepmother. Cinderella was serving the breakfast. She listened as her stepmother read the invitation.

"The King is having a ball," she said, excitedly. "He is looking for a wife for the Prince! Oh, my dears, this is wonderful. He will probably choose one of you, but it will be such a hard choice to make.

"Am I invited too, stepmother?" asked Cinderella.

"You! Certainly not!" exclaimed her stepmother. "The thought of such a thing. A scruffy servant going to a ball, when only beautiful ladies are invited!"

"Hah! Hah!" laughed the stepsisters. "Beautiful! That doesn't include you, Cinderella!"

"You may help my two lovely girls to get ready," said her stepmother.

"Oh," said Cinderella, sadly.

"We shall all have new dresses, girls, and we shall go shopping today. Clear away these things, Cinderella."

'Oh, I wish I could go to the ball,' thought Cinderella.

The day of the ball arrived and the whole day was spent preparing Esmerelda and Griselda. Cinderella did her best to make the sisters look pretty, but it was an impossible task.

Finally, the coach arrived to collect the girls and their mother.

Cinderella was very tired and she wandered back to the kitchens.

"Oh, I did so want to go," she sighed as she sat down by the fire.

"What's to stop you?" asked a voice.

"Who's that?" asked Cinderella, looking around.

"I'm here by the door." A strange woman walked up to Cinderella. "I heard you the other day, wishing you could go to the ball. Well, the ball is this evening, and you're going."

"But how?" asked Cinderella. "What can you do?"

"Anything I want to," said the woman. "I'm your fairy godmother, and I'm here to send you to the ball.

She sat down.

"Come now," she said. "Dry those tears. We have work to do. I need a large pumpkin, two rats, two mice and a frog. Can you find these?"

"Yes," said Cinderella, mystified by the request.

"Off you go, then."

When Cinderella found all the things, her fairy godmother took them all outside.

"Now for the magic," she said. She waved her hands and the air began to twinkle and sparkle. The pumpkin began to grow and change, until standing there was a glittering coach.

The mice changed into two fine footmen, the frog into the driver, and the rats into two beautiful horses to pull the coach.

Cinderella clapped her hands. "It's beautiful!" she cried.

"In you get," said her fairy godmother.

"But I can't go like this," said Cinderella.

"Like what?" asked the fairy godmother. "You look lovely to me."

Cinderella looked at herself. While the magic had been working on the pumpkin, it had also been working on her. Instead of her ragged dress she wore a beautiful ball gown, with glass slippers on her feet.

"Oh, fairy godmother," said Cinderella. "It's lovely. How can I thank you?"

"By going to the ball," said the fairy godmother. "Off you go, but remember, the magic stops working at midnight. Everything will change back then. Now go and enjoy yourself."

"Good-bye, fairy godmother," called Cinderella, as the coach swept off.

Cinderella arrived at the palace and walked into the ballroom. Everyone stopped and stared.

"Who is she?" people asked, including her stepmother and stepsisters.

The Prince saw her, and had eyes for no one else for the rest of the evening. Cinderella danced only with the Prince, and as the evening passed, he fell in love with her.

A clock chiming reminded Cinderella of her fairy godmother's warning. 'It must be eleven o'clock,' she thought, but she asked the Prince. "What time is it?"

"Almost midnight," he answered.

"Oh, no!" cried Cinderella. "I must go!"

"You can't. Not now," said the Prince.

"I must." And Cinderella swept out of the room, and ran out of the palace. As she ran, the clock finished chiming. Cinderella's clothes changed back into rags, and the coach and horses were nowhere to be seen.

The Prince tried to follow, but he couldn't catch up. When he reached the door, all he found was one glass slipper. He ran to the main gate.

"Was a beautiful girl just driven out of here?" he asked the guard.

"No, your Highness. I've only seen a scruffy servant girl," the guard answered.

"I've lost her," said the Prince, and he returned sadly to the palace.

The next morning, Cinderella's stepmother and stepsisters were talking about the ball.

"Did you see the Prince, once that girl arrived." said Esmerelda. "He wouldn't look at anybody else. And it was my turn to dance with him."

"Never mind, my dear," said her mother. "She disappeared, so there will probably be another ball, and then you will be chosen."

The Prince meanwhile decided to look for the mysterious girl he had fallen in love with. He issued a proclamation. "Whoever the glass shoe fits, shall be wife to the Prince."

The Prince and his footman went from house to house of all the ladies invited to the ball.

First to the princesses, and then to the duchesses, and finally to all the ladies.

He finally arrived at the stepmother's house.

"It's my shoe!" cried Esmerelda, trying desperately to pull the shoe on.

"Please, miss!" said the footman. "Your foot is too big. you will break the slipper."

Griselda tried the shoe, but her toes were far too long.

"Is there anyone else?" asked the Prince.

"There's only Cinderella, the maid," said the stepmother. "But she wasn't even at the ball."

"All the ladies in the kingdom must try the slipper," said the footman.

Cinderella was called from the kitchen. Esmerelda and Griselda laughed when they saw how dirty she was. But their laughter turned to tears when they saw Cinderella's foot slide easily into the slipper.

"Oh!" they cried. "It fits!"

The Prince looked at Cinderella and realised that she was the girl that he had fallen in love with.

Cinderella took the other slipper from her pocket and put it on.

The Prince was delighted to have found her, and on a bright sunny day, he and Cinderella were married. They lived happily ever after.

皇帝的新装（中文版）

许多年以前有一位皇帝，他非常喜欢穿好看的新衣服。他为了要穿得漂亮，把所有的钱都花到衣服上去了，他一点也不关心他的军队，也不喜欢去看戏。除非是为了炫耀一下新衣服，他也不喜欢乘着马车逛公园。他每天每个钟头要换一套新衣服。人们提到皇帝时总是说：“皇上在会议室里。”但是人们一提到他时，总是说：“皇上在更衣室里。”

在他住的那个大城市里，生活很轻松，很愉快。每天有许多外国人到来。有一天来了两个骗子。他们说他们是织工。他们说，他们能织出谁也想象不到的最美丽的布。这种布的色彩和图案不仅是非常好看，而且用它缝出来的衣服还有一种奇异的作用，那就是凡是不称职的人或者愚蠢的人，都看不见这衣服。

“那正是我最喜欢的衣服！”皇帝心里想。“我穿了这样的衣服，就可以看出我的王国里哪些人不称职；我就可以辨别出哪些人是聪明人，哪些人是傻子。是的，我要叫他们马上织出这样的布来！”他付了许多现款给这两个骗子，叫他们马上开始工作。

他们摆出两架织机来，装做是在工作的样子，可是他们的织机上什么东西也没有。他们接二连三地请求皇帝发一些最好的生丝和金子给他们。他们把这些东西都装进自己的腰包，却假装在那两架空空的织机上忙碌地工作，一直忙到深夜。

“我很想知道他们织布究竟织得怎样了，”皇帝想。不过，他立刻就想起了愚蠢的人或不称职的人是看不见这布的。他心里的确感到有些不大自在。他相信他自己是用不着害怕的。虽然如此，他还是觉得先派一个人去看看比较妥当。全城的人都听说过这种布料有一种奇异的力量，所以大家都很想趁这机会来测验一下，看看他们的邻人究竟有多笨，有多傻。

“我要派诚实的老部长到织工那儿去看看，”皇帝想。“只有他能看出这布料是个什么样子，因为他这个人很有头脑，而且谁也不像他那样称职。”

因此这位善良的老部长就到那两个骗子的工作地点去。他们正在空空的织机上忙忙碌碌地工作着。

“这是怎么一回事儿？”老部长想，把眼睛睁得有碗口那么大。

“我什么东西也没有看见！”但是他不敢把这句话说出来。

那两个骗子请求他走近一点，同时问他，布的花纹是不是很美丽，色彩是不是很漂亮。他们指着那两架空空的织机。

这位可怜的老大臣的眼睛越睁越大，可是他还是看不见什么东西，因为的确没有什么东西可看。

“我的老天爷！”他想。“难道我是一个愚蠢的人吗？我从来没有怀疑过我自己。我决不能让人知道这件事。难道我不称职吗？——不成；我决不能让人知道我看不见布料。”

“哎，您一点意见也没有吗？”一个正在织布的织工说。

“啊，美极了！真是美妙极了！”老大臣说。他戴着眼镜仔细地看。“多么美的花纹！多么美的色彩！是的，我将要呈报皇上说我对于这布感到非常满意。”

“嗯，我们听到您的话真高兴，”两个织工一起说。他们把这些稀有的色彩和花纹描述了一番，还加上些名词儿。这位老大臣注意地听着，以便回到皇帝那里去时，可以照样背得出来。事实上他也就这样办了。

这两个骗子又要了很多的钱，更多的丝和金子，他们说这是为了织布的需要。他们把这些东西全装进腰包里，连一根线也没有放到织机上去。不过他们还是继续在空空的机架上工作。

过了不久，皇帝派了另一位诚实的官员去看看，布是不是很快就可以织好。他的运气并不比头一位大臣的好：他看了又看，但是那两架空空的织机上什么也没有，他什么东西也看不出来。

“您看这段布美不美？”两个骗子问。他们指着一些美丽的花纹，并且作了一些解释。事实上什么花纹也没有。

“我并不愚蠢！”这位官员想。“这大概是因为我不配担当现在这样好的官职吧？这也真够滑稽，但是我决不能让人看出来！”因此他就把他完全没有看见的布称赞了一番，同时对他们说，他非常喜欢这些美丽的颜色和巧妙的花纹。“是的，那真是太美了，”他回去对皇帝说。

城里所有的人都在谈论这美丽的布料。

当这布还在织的时候，皇帝就很想亲自去看一次。他选了一群特别圈定的随员——其中包括已经去看过的那两位诚实的大臣。这样，他就到那两个狡猾的骗子住的地方去。这两个家伙正以全副精神织布，但是一根线的影子也看不见。“您看这不漂亮吗？”那两位诚实的官员说。“陛下请看，多么美丽的花纹！多么美丽的色彩！”他们指着那架空空的织机，因为他们以为别人一定会看得见布料的。

“这是怎么一回事

她出席了舞会，王子一看到她便被她迷住了，立即邀她共舞。欢乐的时光过得很快，眼看就要午夜十二时了，灰姑娘不得已要马上离开，在仓皇间留下了一只水晶鞋。王子很伤心，于是派大臣至全国探访，找出能穿上这只水晶鞋的女孩。

4、Little Ida’SFlowers（小意达的花儿）

作者：丹麦，安徒生。

“我的可怜的花儿都已经死了。”小意达说。“昨天晚上它们还是那么美丽，现在它们的叶子却都垂下来了，枯萎了，它们为什么要这样呢？”她问一个坐在沙发上的学生。于是，这个快乐的学生告诉小意达；“这些花儿昨夜去参加一个跳舞会啦，因此它们今天就把头垂下来了”。

小意达得了这满意的答案开始在睡梦里看到花的舞会，并听到花儿的请求：“把我们埋在花园里——那个金丝雀也是躺在那儿的。到明年的夏天，我们就又可以醒转来，长得更美丽了。”

于是，小意达与他的两位表兄弟一起，为花儿举行了郑重的“葬礼”，好叫花儿在来年夏天醒转，成为更美丽的花朵。

5、 The Wild Swans(野天鹅)

作者：丹麦，安徒生。

故事讲述了一场善与恶的斗争。

主人公艾丽莎是个柔弱的女子，但她却战胜了比她强大得多、有权有势的王后和主教，救出了被王后的魔法变成天鹅的11位哥哥。

她可以成功靠的是她的勇气、决心和毅力。面对荨麻的刺痛和一年不能说话的痛苦，这需要多大的勇气啊。面对主教对她的诬陷和把她烧死的惩罚，她也没有放弃，一直坚持到了最后一分钟，终于完成了她的工作。

但不久之后，一只能发出曼妙乐声且外表华丽的人造小鸟获得了更多赞美，于是，夜莺飞走了。然而，当国王的生命面临死神的威胁时，人造小鸟却唱不出一个音符，还是真正的夜莺用婉转的歌声驱走了死亡的阴霾。

7、 The Ugly Duckling(丑小鸭) 

作者：丹麦，安徒生。

这本书写了一只天鹅蛋在鸭群中破壳后，因相貌怪异，让同类鄙弃，历经千辛万苦、重重磨难之后长成了白天鹅。

《丑小鸭》说明只要有理想，有追求，并为这目标而努力奋斗，即使身处逆境也不要紧，“是金子总会发光的”。人生中的挫折和痛苦是不可避免的，只能坚强的面对。同时“丑小鸭”也比喻不被关注的小孩子或年轻人，有时也指刚刚出现、不为人注意的事物。

《丑小鸭》被翻译成多种文字，广为流传。该童话入选初中语文，人民教育出版社七年级（下册）
