"Like a gentleman?" Dick asked. "How do gentlemen do it?"

"They always give the bigger piece to the other person." answered his aunt at once.

"Oh" said Dick. He thought about this for a few seconds. Then he took the cake to his sister and said to her,"Cut this cake in half, Catherine.".

老貓

一位老婦有隻貓，這只貓很老，它跑不快了，也咬不了東西，因為它年紀太大了。一天，老貓發現一隻老鼠，它跳過去抓這只老鼠，然而，它咬不住這只老鼠。因此，老鼠從它的嘴邊溜掉了，因為老貓咬不了它。

於是，老婦很生氣，因為老貓沒有把老鼠咬死。她開始打這只貓，貓說：「不要打你的老僕人，我已經為你服務了很多年，而且還願意為你效勞，但是，我實在太老了，對年紀大的不要這么無情，要記住老年人在年青時所做過的有益的事情。」

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 st.

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 st and eat them.

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

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.

城裡老鼠和鄉下老鼠

從前，有兩只老鼠，它們是好朋友。一隻老鼠居住在鄉村，另一隻住在城裡。很多年以後，鄉下老鼠碰到城裡老鼠，它說：「你一定要來我鄉下的家看看。」於是，城裡老鼠就去了。鄉下老鼠領著它到了一塊田地上它自己的家裡。它把所有最精美食物都找出來給城裡老鼠。城裡老鼠說：「這東西不好吃，你的家也不好，你為什麼住在田野的地洞里呢？你應該搬到城裡去住，你能住上用石頭造的漂亮房子，還會吃上美味佳餚，你應該到我城裡的家看看。」

鄉下老鼠就到城裡老鼠的家去。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，城裡的老鼠叫喊起來：「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：「我不喜歡住在城裡，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。」

中英雙語童話故事：醋溜先生花錢 很久以前，有一個窮人，他的原名叫什麼已經不記得了。他個頭很矮，臉上皺皺巴巴的，所以朋友們管他叫醋溜先生。他的太太也是又矮又老，他們住在一塊小荒田後邊的小屋裡。 「約翰，」醋溜太太說道，「你到城裡去買一頭奶牛吧。我用擠出的牛奶做黃油，以後我們就衣食不愁了。」 「好主意，」醋溜先生說，於是他出發進城，他的太太在路邊等候他。 醋溜先生在城裡走啊走，四處找牛。過了一會兒，一個農夫拉著一頭非常漂亮而肥壯的奶牛走了過來。 「哦，如果那頭牛是我的，我就是世界上最幸福的人了！」 「這可是頭很好的牛，」農夫說。 「啊，」醋溜先生說，「我出五十塊金幣的價買它。」 農夫微笑著伸手接錢，「你把它帶走吧，」他說，「我就喜歡成人之美，朋友！」 醋溜先生抓住牛繩，拉著它在街上走啊走。「我是全世界最幸運的人了，」他說，「瞧瞧大家看著我和牛的眼神！」 可是在街的另一頭，他見到一個吹風笛的人。他停下腳步聆聽，笛聲曼妙。 「哦，這是我聽過的最動聽的音樂了，」他說，「瞧瞧有這么多孩子圍著那人，塞錢給他！如果我有風笛的話，就是世界上最幸福的人了！！」 「我可以賣給你呀，」風笛手說道。 「是嗎？可是我沒有錢了，我拿這頭牛和你換吧。」 「拿去吧，」風笛手答道，「我最喜歡成人之美了。」 於是醋溜先生拿過了風笛，風笛手牽走了奶牛。 「現在我們可有音樂聽了，」醋溜先生說，但是他花了老大的勁，還是吹不出什麼調來。風笛只發出吱吱的怪聲。孩子們非但沒給他錢，還對他百般嘲笑。 天冷極了，為了吹風笛，醋溜先生的手指都凍僵了。他真希望自己沒把牛給換走。 他開始往家走的時候，遇到一個人，那人戴著暖暖的手套。「哦，如果那副漂亮手套是我的，」他說，「那我就是世界上最幸福的人了。」 「你出多少錢買？」那人問道。 「噢，我沒錢了，可我用風笛和你換吧，」醋溜先生答道。 「這樣的話，」那人說，「你就拿去吧，我就喜歡成人之美。」 醋溜先生把風笛給了那人，拿過手套戴在凍僵的手指頭上。「我多幸運啊，」他邊往家走邊說道。他 的手很快就暖起來了，可是道路坑坑窪窪的，走得很艱難。走到一個陡坡下的時候，他累極了。「我怎麼才能爬上去呢？」他說。這時候，他看到一個人從另一邊走了過來。那人手裡握著一根棍，用做爬坡的杖子。 「朋友，」醋溜先生說道，「如果我能有你那根杖子來爬坡，我就是這世界上最幸福的人了！」 「你出多少錢來買？」那人問道。 「啊，我沒錢了，可我願把這副暖和的手套給你，」醋溜先生說。 「這樣的話，」那人說道，「你就拿去好了，因為我最喜歡成人之美。」 醋溜先生的手早暖和過來了，於是他拿手套跟那人換了根上坡用的粗杖。「我多幸運啊！」他一邊費勁地上坡一邊說道。 到了山頂，他停下來休憩。可正當他想著一整天的好運時，他聽到有誰在叫著自己的名字。他抬起頭，只看到樹枝上坐著只綠鸚鵡。 「醋溜先生，醋溜先生，」鸚鵡喊道。 「怎麼了？」醋溜先生問。 「你是傻瓜，你是傻瓜！」鳥兒答道，「你出門找錢，找到了，卻拿錢買牛，用牛換了風笛，用風笛換了手套，又用手套去換根能在路邊弄到的棍子。呵呵呵，你是傻瓜！你是傻瓜！」 這話讓醋溜先生生氣極了。他用盡力氣拿棍子朝鳥兒擲去。可鳥兒只回了句：「你是傻瓜！你是傻瓜！」而棍子又卡在樹枝上，他夠不著。 醋溜先生慢慢地向前走著，他腦子里亂騰騰的。他的太太正站在路邊呢，一見到他，她就喊起來：「奶牛呢？奶牛呢？」 「唔，我可不知道奶牛到哪去了，」醋溜先生說道。接著他把事情完完整整地告訴了她。 Mr. Vinegar and His Fortune A long time go, there lived a poor man whose real name has been forgotten. He was little and old and his face was 1)wrinkled, and that was why his friends called him Mr. Vinegar. His wife was also little and old, and they lived in a little old 2)cottage at the back of a little old field. "John," said Mrs. Vinegar, "you must go to town and buy a cow. I will milk her and 3)churn butter and we shall never want for anything." "That is a good plan," said Mr. Vinegar, so he started off to town while his wife waited by the roadside. Mr. Vinegar walked up and down the street of the town looking for a cow. After a time, a farmer came that way, leading one that was very pretty and fat. "Oh, if I only had that cow," said Mr. Vinegar, "I would be the happiest man in the world!" "She's a very good cow," said the farmer. "Well," said Mr. Vinegar, "I'll give you these 50 gold pieces for her." The farmer smiled and held out his hand for the money, "You may have her," he said, "I always like to oblige, my friends!" Mr. Vinegar took hold of the cow's halter and led her up and down the street. "I am the luckiest man in the world," he said, "for only see how all the people are looking at me and my cow!" But at one end of the street, he met a man playing 5)bagpipes. He stopped and listened -- Tweedle Dee Tweedle Dee. "Oh, that is the sweetest music I ever heard," he said, "and just see how all the children crowd around the man and give him pennies! If I only had those bagpipes, I would be the happiest man in the world!!" "I'll sell them to you," said the 6)piper. "Will you? Well then, since I have no money, I will give you this cow for them." "You may have them," answered the piper, "I always like to oblige a friend." Mr. Vinegar took the bagpipes and the piper led the cow away. "Now we will have some music," said Mr. Vinegar, but try as hard as he might, he could not play a tune. He could get nothing out of the bagpipes but "7)squeak, squeak". The children instead of giving him pennies laughed at him. The day was chilly and in trying to play the pipes, his fingers grew very cold. He wished he had kept the cow. He just started for home when he met a man who had warm gloves on his hands. "Oh, if I only had those pretty gloves," he said, "I would be the happiest man in the world." "How much will you give for them?" asked the man. "Oh, I have no money, but I will give you these bagpipes," answered Mr. Vinegar. "Well," said the man, "you may have them for I always like to oblige a friend." Mr. Vinegar gave him the bagpipes and drew the gloves on over his half frozen fingers. "How lucky I am," he said as he 8)trudged homeward. His hands were soon quite warm, but the road was rough and the walking hard. He was very tired when he came to the foot of the steep hill. "How shall I ever get to the top?" he said. Just then he met a man who was walking the other way. He had a stick in his hand which he used as a cane to help him along. "My friend," said Mr. Vinegar, "if only I had that stick of yours to help me up this hill, I would be the happiest man in the world!" "How much will you give me for it?" asked the man. "Well, I have no money, but I will give you this pair of warm gloves," said Mr. Vinegar. "Well," said the man, "you may have it for I always like to oblige a friend." Mr. Vinegar's hands were now quite warm, so he gave the gloves to the man and took the 9)stout stick to help him along. "How lucky I am!'' he said as he 10)toiled upward. At the top of the hill he stopped to rest. But as he was thinking of all his good luck that day, he heard someone calling his name. He looked up and saw only a green parrot sitting in a tree. "Mr. Vinegar, Mr. Vinegar," it cried. "What now?" said Mr. Vinegar. "You're a 11)nce, you're a nce!'' answered the bird, "you went to seek your fortune and you found it, then you gave it for a cow, and the cow for some bagpipes, and the bagpipes for some gloves, and the gloves for a stick which you might of cut by the roadside. He He He, you're a nce! You're a nce!'' This made Mr. Vinegar very angry. He threw the stick at the bird with all his might. But the bird only answered, "You're a nce! You're a nce!" And the stick 12)lodged in the tree where he could not get it again. Mr. Vinegar went on slowly for he had many things to think about. His wife was standing by the roadside and as soon as she saw him, she cried out, "Where's the cow? Where's the cow?" "Well, I just don't know where the cow is," said Mr. Vinegar. And then he told her the whole story.

Long ago a great mountain began to rumble and shake .

People came from far and near to see what would happen.

"A great river will be born." said one.

"Surely nothing less than a mighty dragon will come out." said another.

"A god himself will spring form these rocks." said a third.

Finally , after days of expectation a small crack appeared in the mountain. And out popped ---- a mouse.

Just because someone makes a lot of fuss, it doesn't mean he is important.

山

很久以前，一座大山隆隆作響，搖晃起來。遠近各處的人都來看是怎麼回事。
一個人說："要出現一條大河了。"
另一個人說："准會出現一條巨龍。"
第三個人說："從這些岩石中會出現一尊神來。"
等了幾天之後，山坡上終於裂開一條小縫，卻蹦出來一隻耗子。

正因為某人大肆張揚，所以他沒有什麼了不起。

The Wolf and the Lamb 狼與小羊

WOLF, meeting with a Lamb astray from the fold, resolved not to lay violent hands on him, but to find some plea to justify to the Lamb the Wolf's right to eat him. He thus addressed him:"Sirrah, last year you grossly insulted me." "Indeed," bleated the Lamb in a mournful tone of voice, "I was not then born." Then said the Wolf , "You feed in my pasture." "No, good sir," replied the Lamb, "I have not yet tasted grass." Again said the Wolf, "You drink of my well." "No," exclaimed the Lamb, "I never yet drank water, for as yet my mother's milk is both food and drink to me." Upon which the Wolf seized him and ate him up, saying, "Well! I won't remain supperless, even though you refute every one of my imputations."
