　　Flying turtle

　　Deep within a forest a little turtle began to climb a tree. After hours of effort he reached the top, jumped into the air waving his front legs and crashed to the ground. After recovering, he slowly climbed the tree again, jumped, and fell to the ground. The turtle tried again and again while a couple of birds sitting on a branch watched his sad efforts.

　　"Dear," she chirped, "I think it's time to tell him he's adopted."

　　终于，雌性小鸟转向她的伴侣。

　　“亲爱的，”她说，“我认为是时候告诉他他是领养来的了。”

　　The lion and the mouse

　　When a lion was asleep, a little mouse began running up and down beside him. This soon wakened the lion. He was very angry, and caught the mouse in his paws.

　　"Forgive me, please." cried the little mouse. "I may be able to help you someday." The lion was tickled at these words.

　　He thought, "How could this little mouse help me?" However he lifted up his paws and let him go.

　　A few days later, the lion was caught in a trap.

　　The hunters wanted to take him alive to the king, so they tied him to a tree, and went away to look for a wagon.

　　Just then the little mouse passed by, and saw the sad lion.

　　He went up to him, and soon gnawed away the ropes. "Was I not right?" asked the little mouse.

　　“饶了我吧，”老鼠请求说，“也许有一天我能帮上你的忙呢。”狮子觉得很好笑，他想：“这只小老鼠怎么能帮上我的忙?”但他还是抬起爪子放他走了。

　　不久，狮子被陷阱困住了。猎人们想将活狮子献给国王，就把他捆在一棵大树上，然后去找马车。

　　这时，老鼠路过这里，看到了绝望中的狮子。他走过去，很快啃断了绳索，说：“我虽小，可是我也能帮上你的忙。”

　　寓意: 有些朋友也许平时看似微不足道，但却有可能在我们身处困境的时候提供巨大的帮助。
