There was a farmer in the Song Kingdom in ancient China. He worked in his field day after day. In good harvest years, he could only have enough food to eat and enough clothing to wear. If the field failed to produce enough crops, he had to go hungry. This farmer wanted to improve his life. But he was too lazy and too cowardly. He always dreamed of having unexpected fortune.
A miracle took place at last. One day, when he worked in the field, some people were hunting nearby. They shouted loudly one after another. Some little animals were running desperately. Suddenly, a hare dashed itself headlong against the stump of a dead tree in his field and died.
That day, he had a good meal.
From that day on, he no longer worked in his field. From morning till night, he stayed by that miraculous stump, waiting for another hare. Will the miracle happen again?
People often use the set phrase “staying by a stump waiting for more hares to come and dash themselves against it" to refer to persons dreaming to reap without sowing.
在战国时代的宋国,有一个农民,每天都很辛苦地在田地里干活.遇到好年景,也不过刚刚吃饱穿暖;要是遇到灾荒,他就得忍饥挨饿了.他很想能过上好一点的日子,可是他太懒,胆子又特小,干什么都是又懒又怕的,总是想着能碰到送上门来的意外之财就好了。
奇迹终于发生了。一天,他正在田里干活,一群打猎的人靠近了。吆喝之声四处起伏,受惊的小动物们没命地奔跑。突然, 有一只兔子,不偏不倚,一头撞死在他田边的树根上。
这天,他美美地饱餐了一顿。
从此,他就不再种地了,一天到晚守着那个神奇的.树根,等着奇迹再次出现。
人们后来就常用“守株待兔”这个成语来形容那些老梦想着不耕种就会有收获的人。

在一个凉风习习的秋天,人们正赶着上班。因为道路要拓展到农场去。于是,农夫准备吧所有的家禽迁移到另一个农场。就在运送的途中,司机感到非常口渴,于是就下车买了一瓶可乐。因为关鸭子的.笼子没锁好,车停了,鸭妈妈以为到了农场,就带着鸭宝宝们下了车,就在这时,司机回来就把车开走了。
鸭妈妈迷了路,于是他就带着鸭宝宝漫步在温哥华街头,司机看了他们穿过马路,于是他们不顾迟到停下了车。
鸭宝宝们看见了许多没有见过的东西都东望望,西看看,一不留心几只小鸭子失足掉入下水道。鸭妈妈看了一下很着急,因为他发现自己实在是够不着鸭宝宝。就在这时他们忽然看到这值班的巡警,于是鸭妈妈就跑到巡警脚下啦一泡大便。巡警望了望心里很生气,但他不敢擅离职守,他笑了笑说:“我忍你。”鸭妈妈看巡警无动于衷,又拉了一泡大便。这时,巡警实在是忍不住了说“你这畜牲,今天我不把你顿了吃,我就不是巡警。巡警一说完就去追老鸭子。老鸭子一看,扭头就赶往出事地点。巡警一看下水道这才明白过来:原来鸭妈妈是叫我来救小鸭子的啊!于是,巡警去够小鸭,可是怎么够也够不着。巡警急中生智,把自己的帽子摘下来,拿帽子去捞小鸭子。没过多久,所有的小鸭子都被捞了上来。为了表示感谢,鸭妈妈啄下自己的羽毛,还“嘎嘎”的叫了几声,好像在说谢谢你。
司机看见这一件事,就主动给鸭妈妈让出一条路来。这时十字路口的红灯都亮了,为鸭妈妈们让路。当他们过了马路,这时绿灯才亮了起来。
Wolf, meeting with a Lamb astray from the fold, resolved not to lay violent hands on him, but to find some plea, which should justify to the Lamb himself his 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." On 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."The tyrant will always find a pretext for his tyranny.
狼和小羊
一只狼瞧见一只迷路失群的小羊,决定暂缓下毒手,想先找一些理由,对小羊证明自己有吃它的权利。它就说:「小鬼!你去年曾经骂过我。」小羊可怜地说:「老实说,我去年还没有出生呢。」狼再说:「你在我的草地上吃过草。」
小羊回答说:「不,好先生,我还未曾尝过草的味道呢。」狼又说:「你喝过我井里的.水。」小羊叫道:「不,我从没有喝过水,因为直到今天为止,我都是吃着母亲的奶汁。」狼一听这话,便抓住它,把它吃下去,便说:「好!即使你驳倒我每一句话,我终究要吃晚餐的!」暴君总有他暴行的借口。
