“Why need our care?’
“Because from then on the aunt cannot do what they liked to along with her daughter. She is very pitiful. In her distress, making dinners and doing chores are also becoming so difficult. My dear, can you help Mother hit an idea to help the aunt in other ways?”
At her mother’s proposal, the girl thought for a long while. All of a sudden, she went to the neighbor and knocked at the door.
The neighbor with a look of haggardness and tiredness opened the door.
“What can I do for you?” asked the neighbor.
“I heard my mother say you’re very distressed for losing your daughter…” The girl timidly handed the band-aid tightly held in her hand to the neighbor.
The neighbor suddenly choked with sobs, her tears gushing from her eyes. She hugged the girl and said, “Thank you. This band-aid will cure my wound.”

“妈妈,您在忙什么呢?”还不到6岁的女孩,好奇的问妈妈。
“给邻居家的阿姨做饭。”
“为什么?”
“前几天阿姨失去了心爱的女儿,现在很伤心。我们这几天要好好照顾她。”
“为什么需要我们照顾呢?”
“阿姨以后不能和她女儿一起做他们喜欢做的事了,很可怜。人在极度悲伤时,做饭和料理家务也会变得很难。女儿,你能不能也帮妈妈想想其他能帮助阿姨做的'事呢?”
女孩听到妈妈的提议,认真的思考了很久,突然走到邻居家敲响了门。
一脸憔悴和疲惫的邻居开了门。
“有什么事吗?”邻居问道。
“听妈妈说,您因为失去了女儿,非常痛苦……”女孩羞涩的把攥在手里的创可贴递给了邻居。
“阿姨,把这个贴在胸口吧,那样你的心就不会痛了。”
邻居突然哽咽起来,泪水夺眶而出。她抱住女孩说:“谢谢,这个创可贴会治好我的伤口的。”
原文: 园中有榆,其上有蝉。蝉方奋翼悲鸣,欲饮清露,不知螳螂之在后,曲其颈,欲攫而食之也。螳螂方欲食蝉,而不知黄雀在后,举其颈,欲啄而食之也。黄雀方欲食螳螂,不知童子挟弹丸在榆下,迎而欲弹之。童子方欲弹黄雀,不知前有深坑,后有掘株也。此皆贪前之利,而不顾后害者也。
翻译:园中有一棵榆树,树上有一只知了。知了鼓动翅膀悲切地鸣叫着,准备吮吸些清凉的露水,却不知道有只螳螂正在它的背后。螳螂伸出两只像砍刀一样的前臂,打算把知了逮住吃掉。它正要捉知了的时候,却不知道黄雀就在它的后面 。黄雀伸长脖子,想啄死螳螂吃掉它。它正想啄食螳螂时,却不知道榆树下面有个拿着弹弓的小孩,把皮筋拉得长长的,正在瞄准它。 孩子一心想射***黄雀时,却不知道前面有个深坑,后面还有个树桩子。这都是贪图眼前利益,而不顾身后隐藏着祸害的表现呀!
寓意:目光短浅的人在追求眼前利益的时候,往往忽视了后面隐藏着的危险。
在我家乡,有一个每家每户都保持的的传统,那就是包饺子。我们通常会在除夕当天包饺子、吃饺子。我们擀面皮,准备饺子馅儿,然后就可以开始包饺子了。在包饺子时,一定要做的一件事就是把硬币放在一些饺子里,谁能吃到馅里有硬币的饺子意味着在新的一年里好运连连。最后一步就是煮饺子,这时候,所有人都在等饺子出锅。对于我们来说,饺子就是我们最好的年夜饭。
The Father and His Son
Father had a family of sons who were perpetually quarrelling among themselves. When he failed to heal their disputes by his exhortations, he determined to give them a practical illustration of the evils of disunion; and for this purpose he one day told them to bring him a bundle of sticks. When they had done so, he placed the faggot into the hands of each of them in succession, and ordered them to break it in pieces. They each tried with all their strength, and were not able to do it.
He next unclosed the faggot, and took the sticks separately, one by one, and again put them into their hands, on which they broke them easily. He then addressed them in these words: "My sons, if you are of one mind, and unite to assist each other, you will be as this faggot, uninjured by all the attempts of your enemies; but if you are divided among yourselves, you will be broken as easily as these sticks."
一位父亲有几个孩子,这些孩子时常发生口角。他丝毫没有办法来劝阻他们,只好让他们看看不合群所带来害处的例子。为了达到这个目的,有一天他叫他们替他拿一捆细柴来。当他们把柴带来时,他便先后地将那捆柴放在每一个孩子的手中,吩咐他们弄断这捆柴。他们一个个尽力去试,总是不能成功。
然后他解开那捆柴,一根根地放在他们手里,如此一来,他们便毫不费力地折断了。于是他就告诉他们说:「孩子们!如果你们大家团结一致,互相帮助,你们就像这捆柴一样,不能被你们的敌人折断;但如果你们自行,你们就将和这些散柴一般,不堪一折了。
原文:宋有富人,天雨墙坏。其子曰:"不筑,必将有盗。"其邻人之父亦云。暮而果大亡其财。其家皆智其子,而疑邻人之父。 翻译: 宋国有个有钱的人。有一天下大雨,把他家的墙壁冲塌了一块。他的儿子说道:"不赶快修补起来,一定会有小偷爬进来的。"邻家的老大爷也这样警告他。 当天夜里,他家果真被盗贼偷走了大量的财物。 这个有钱人的一家人都夸他的`儿子有先见之明,却怀疑邻家的老大爷可能是个盗贼。
寓意:以亲疏来判断是非是非常有害的。生活中的一些误解和恩怨,就是由此而来。
原文: 宋人有耕田者。田中有株,兔走,触株折颈而死。因释其耒而守株,冀复得兔。兔不可得,而身为宋国笑。
翻译:宋国有个种田的人,他的田里有棵树。 有一次,一只兔子跑过来,由于跑得太急,一头撞到树上,把脖子撞断死掉了。这个人毫不费力地拣到了这只免子。打这天起,他干脆放下农具,连活儿也不干了,天天守在这棵树下,希望还能捡到死兔子。兔子是再也检不到了,他的行为反倒成了宋国人谈论的笑料。
寓意:收获从劳动中来。不要因为一次偶然的收获,就放弃了勤劳的美德。
