獅子和老鼠
Lion was awakened from sleep by a mouse running over his face.
Rising up in anger, he caught him and was about to kill him, when the mouse piteouslyentreated, saying: "If you would only spare my life, I would be sure to repay your kindness." The lion laughed and let him go.
It happened shortly after this that the lion was caught by some hunters, who bound him by strong ropes to the ground.
The mouse, recognizing his roar, came up, and gnawed the rope with his teeth, and setting him free, exclaimed: "You ridiculed the idea of my ever being able to help you, not expecting to receive from me any repayment of your favour; but now you know that it is possible for even a Mouse to confer benefits on a lion."
Little friends may prove great friends.
一只老鼠從一只獅子面前跑過去，將它從夢中吵醒。
獅子生氣地跳起來，捉住老鼠，要弄死它。老鼠哀求說：“只要你肯饒恕我這條小生命，我將來一定會報答你的.大恩。”獅子便笑著放了它。
后來獅子被幾個獵人捉住，用粗繩捆綁倒在地上。
老鼠聽出是獅子的吼聲，走來用牙齒咬斷繩索，釋放了牠，并大聲說：“你當時嘲笑我想幫你的忙，而且也不指望我有什么機會報答。但是你現在知道了，就算是小老鼠，也能向獅子效勞的。”
強者不會永遠是強者，強者也會有需要弱者幫助的時候。
狼與鷺鷥
A WOLF who had a bone stuck in his throat hired a Crane, for a large sum, to put her head into his mouth and draw out the bone. When the Crane had extracted the bone and demanded the promised payment, the Wolf, grinning and grinding his teeth, exclaimed: "Why, you have surely already had a sufficient recompense, in having been permitted to draw out your head in safety from the mouth and jaws of a wolf."
In serving the wicked, expect no reward, and be thankful if you escape injury for your pains.
狼誤吞下了一塊骨頭，十分難受，四處奔走，尋訪醫生。他遇見了鷺鷥，談定酬金請他 取出骨頭，鷺鷥把自己的頭伸進狼的`喉嚨里，叼出了骨頭，便向狼要定好的酬金。狼回答 說：“喂，朋友，你能從狼嘴里平安無事地收回頭來，難道還不滿足，怎么還要講報酬?”
這故事說明，對壞人行善的報酬，就是認識壞人不講信用的本質。
城里老鼠和鄉下老鼠
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，有兩只老鼠，它們是好朋友。一只老鼠居住在鄉村，另一只住在城里。很多年以后，鄉下老鼠碰到城里老鼠，它說：“你一定要來我鄉下的家看看。”于是，城里老鼠就去了。鄉下老鼠領著它到了一塊田地上它自己的家里。它把所有最精美食物都找出來給城里老鼠。城里老鼠說：“這東西不好吃，你的家也不好，你為什么住在田野的`地洞里呢?你應該搬到城里去住，你能住上用石頭造的漂亮房子，還會吃上美味佳肴，你應該到我城里的家看看。”
鄉下老鼠就到城里老鼠的家去。房子十分漂亮，好吃的東西也為他們擺好了。可是正當他們要開始吃的時候，聽見很大的一陣響聲，城里的老鼠叫喊起來：“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：“我不喜歡住在城里，我喜歡住在田野我的洞里。因為這樣雖然貧窮但是快樂自在，比起雖然富有卻要過著提心吊膽的生活來說，要好些。”
