《The Crow and The Pitcher》 A crow felt very thirsty. He looked for water everywhere. Finally, he found a pitcher. But there was not a lot of water in the pitcher. His beak could not reach it. He tried again and again, but still could not touch the water. When he was about to give up, an idea came to him. He took a pebble and dropped it into the pitcher. Then he took another and dropped it in. Gradually, the water rose, and the crow was able to drink the water.
參考譯文：
《口渴的烏鴉》
一隻烏鴉口渴了，到處找水喝。終於，他找到了一個大水罐。
然而，水罐裏面的水並不多，他的尖嘴夠不到水面，他試了一次又一次，都沒有成功。
就在他想放棄的時候，他突然想到一個主意。烏鴉叼來了一塊小石子投到水罐裏，接着又叼了一塊又一塊石頭放進去。
漸漸地，水面升高了。烏鴉高興地喝到了水。
寓意：有些東西雖然看起來微不足道，但如果積少成多，便會帶來很大變化。

Mr. Wang thinks he is clever, but he always does foolish things.
One day he sees a beautiful bell at the top of a door. “Oh! How nice! I will take it home.” He thinks, “What can I do?” After a while he has a “good” idea. “Aha! I have an idea now. I can plug my ears. Then I will not hear the ring when I take off the bell.”
Then he does so. But as soon as he takes off the bell, the owner opens the door. “What are you doing?” the owner says angrily.

於是他就這樣做了。可是他剛拿下鈴鐺，屋子的主人就打開門，怒氣衝衝地說：“你在幹什麼?”
兩隻狗
Two dogs
A man has two dogs: a hound and a housedog. He trains the hound to help him hurt and teaches the housedog to watch the house.
When he returns home after a day’s hunt, he always gives the housedog some meat. The hound feels very angry. He says unhappily to the housedog, “I work very hard outside, but you do nothing and share my food.”
“Don’t blame me, my friend. You should blame the master. He doesn’t teach me to hurt, but to share other’s food,” the housedog answers.
Don’t blame children for the mistakes of their parents.

看家狗回答道：“不要責怪我，我的朋友。你應該去責備主人。他不教我打獵，卻只教我分享別人的食物。”
不要因爲父母的錯誤而去責備孩子。
