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."
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。”
桑拉开了帐子。渔夫提起马灯,看见两个金黄色头发,圆圆脸蛋的小孤儿。
“原来你已经把他们抱回来了?”渔夫困惑不解地问。
“噢,真对不起!我自作主张把西蒙的孩子抱回来,没经过你的同意,哦真怕你会揍我啊!”
“怎么回呢,你做得很好,我又怎么会揍你呢,桑娜。”
桑娜听了,深情地望着渔夫,心里犹如放下了千斤大石,微微一笑,轻轻的抚摸这两个孩子。
“放心吧,桑娜,我们只要多努力捕鱼,上帝一定会保佑我们的,我相信日子不会很艰苦,总会熬得过去的。”
“嗯,是的。”
“好了,你也累了,快去睡吧。”渔夫拍了拍桑娜的肩,桑娜放下手中的活儿,熄了灯,安心地睡了。在梦里,她看见了渔夫出海满载而归,孩子们活得很健康,生活过得很温馨。
第二天早上,柔和的太阳光投进小屋里,屋里显得特别温暖。孩子们都醒了,两个孤儿看见自己身在异处,不见了妈妈,便大哭起来,桑娜只好哄哄他们说:“乖吧,宝贝,你们的`妈妈到了外地工作,去挣钱,你们要乖啊,你们知道吗。”两个孩子似乎明白了,立刻静了下来。
渔夫划着小渔船,向桑娜和孩子们招手:“放心吧!孩子们、桑娜,我一定不会令你们失望的,等我的好消息吧!”说着,他带着坚毅的信念,带着全家人的希望,踏风而去,越去越远,渐渐消失在红日和海的交界线里。
桑娜照顾着七个孩子,把屋子整理得整整齐齐,打扫得一干二净,食具放在搁板上闪闪发亮,她耐心地等待着丈夫回来。
调皮的太阳玩累了,悄悄地躲在山后。桑娜在门外徘徊着,焦急地等待她丈夫回来。
“嗨,桑娜,我回来啦!”渔夫正在远处驶来。只见他笑容满面,船上的鱼在活蹦乱跳,多得再也装不下了。“你看,我们成功了,多得上帝保佑,给我们收了!”
“哈哈哈。”一家人高兴地笑了,渔夫一手抱起了两个孤儿,望着他们,欣慰地笑了。
红红的太阳,正目睹了一切。他也慈祥的笑了,笑得多么的灿烂、温暖,意味着他们一家将更美满、幸福。
雪夜。世界混沌。天地一派的死寂,有如一幅萧***的画。万径泯灭,无人交语,唯有寒风呼啸有如旁白。如此暗夜,残破木屋里,是谁在凝眉思索?体若寒冰,心犹不死,孤独又落漠。是谁的残年有如那风中的烛火,摇曳闪烁。又是谁在苦苦追问:这世间,还有谁人知我?除却这几卷残破诗书于枕畔默默呤哦。…
如此光景,有谁能相信这位倒卧于残榻之上,苟延残喘的老者,竟是名噪一世的仗剑诗人陆游?遥想当年:壮岁从戎,曾是气吞残虏!到如今,却是功名梦断,独醉了余生,望秦关何处?流年又成虚度妒……唉,怎不教人嗟叹,这造化玩物,人何以堪!
伴随着破窗在风中悲泣,陆游的思绪起起伏伏,硝烟、剑光、狼毫、竹笺……在脑海中光怪交错,一时又忖起这段时间听到百姓们被遗弃而惨遭***戮的传言,不由的一阵悲愤,挣扎想要坐起挥毫,一泄胸愤,然而心有余而力难逮,稍微一动,换来的只是一阵猛似一阵的剧烈咳嗽。
住在隔壁一直未敢深睡的'儿子陆子虞听见父亲痛苦的喘息,匆忙披着衣服跑来,将父亲缓缓扶起,轻抚其背,低声劝诫:父亲,何苦再纠结国事。您为国家百姓倾尽了心力,到头来却是如此凄惶,谁人来问?际遇如此,父亲还是放眼当下,好好保重身体,安度晚年吧!
陆游直视着儿子,语气凝重道:我儿,凡事都要以国家为重,无有国,安有家?男儿当世,就当报效朝廷,为民请命!只恨,我再也不能为国尽忠了……
陆子虞叹息一声,低头不语。
陆游看着窗外漆黑,忽然嘴角露出一丝淡淡的笑意:“那黑暗呀,它已恭候我多时了,我想我要去了”。陆子虞悲泣道:“父亲!”陆游看着儿子,笑意犹在,却有泪珠落下,他轻轻地说道:“儿啊,我知道人死之后万事皆空,但纵是死也心有不甘啊。为父此生最大的恨事就是没有等到国之大统的日子,北边的领土已被贼兵所占,尚未光复,遗憾啊……我儿,我命不久矣,尔等不必悲伤,来年朝廷定能驱逐残寇,收复江山,尔等在我祭日之时,一定不要忘记告诉为父江山一统的大好消息!”
陆子虞落泪不止:“父亲,您就放心吧,儿定会牢记您的话的……天已渐亮了,休息吧!”陆游紧紧拽着儿子的衣襟,轻轻的、一字一字的呤道:“死去元知万事空,但悲不见九州同。王师北定中原日,家祭无忘告乃翁。”
寒风无情呼啸,世界仿似已经凝固,唯有一声悲鸣将之穿透。作为这悲怆世界唯一的亮光,那苦苦支撑了一夜的蜡烛,终于流完了它最后一滴眼泪,化作云烟飘散开去……
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.
一只老鼠从一只狮子面前跑过去,将它从梦中吵醒。
狮子生气地跳起来,捉住老鼠,要弄死它。老鼠哀求说:“只要你肯饶恕我这条小生命,我将来一定会报答你的大恩。”狮子便笑着放了它。
后来狮子被几个猎人捉住,用粗绳捆绑倒在地上。
老鼠听出是狮子的吼声,走来用牙齿咬断绳索,释放了牠,并大声说:“你当时嘲笑我想帮你的忙,而且也不指望我有什么机会报答。但是你现在知道了,就算是小老鼠,也能向狮子效劳的。”
强者不会永远是强者,强者也会有需要弱者帮助的时候。
