What time is it? Tom and Jack come out of the cinema.It is very late. "I can't find my watch.Where is it?"Tom says. "Is it in your bag?"Jack asks. "Oh,yes.Here it is." "What time is it?" "My watch doesn't work.Let's sing,and then we can know the time." "Why?" "Just do it." The two boys begin to sing.A short time later ,a man in the building opens the window and shouts,"Keep it down!Don't you know it's three o'clock in the morning?"
现在几点了？Tom和Jack从电影院出来，已经非常晚了。 “我找不到我的手表了，它在哪？”Tom说。 “它在你的背包里吗？”Jack问。 “哦，是的。它在这儿。” “现在几点了？” “我的手表坏了。让我们一起唱歌，然后我们就可以知道时间了。” “为什么？” “你照着做就可以了。”
两个男孩就开始唱歌了。过了一会，楼上的一个男人打开窗子并且喊道：“安
静点！难道你们不知道现在已经是早上三点多了吗？”

狗和影子
(The Dog and the Shadow)It happened that a Dog had got a piece of meat and was carrying it home in his mouth to eat it in peace. Now, on his way home he had to cross a plank lying across a running brook. As he crossed, he looked down and saw his own shadow reflected in the water beneath. Thinking it was another dog with another piece of meat, he made up his mind to have that also. So he made a snap at the shadow in the water, but as he opened his mouth the piece of meat fell out, dropped into the water and was never seen more.
一只狗嘴里衔着一块肉，走过一条河上面的桥，看见他自己在水里的影子，以
为是另一只狗，那时狗衔着的肉，比他自己的还要大一倍。因此他仍掉自己的
那一块，狠狠地扑向那只狗，想夺到那一块较大的肉。结果两头都落了空，因
为他想要抓取在水中的那一块，只不过是一个影子，而原来的那一块，也被水
冲走了。 Beware lest you lose the substance by grasping at the shadow. 谨
记，切莫因追逐幻影而丢失已有的东西

Long ago a great mountain began to rumble and shake . People came from far and near to see what would happen. "A great river will be born." said one. "Surely nothing less than a mighty dragon will come out." said another. "A god himself will spring form these rocks." said a third. Finally , after days of expectation a small crack appeared in the mountain. And out popped ---- a mouse. Just because someone makes a lot of fuss, it doesn't mean he is important.
很久以前，一座大山隆隆作响，摇晃起来。远近各处的人都来看是怎么回事。
一个人说："要出现一条大河了。" 另一个人说："准会出现一条巨龙。" 第三个人说："从这些岩石中会出现一尊神来。" 等了几天之后，山坡上终于裂开一
条小缝，却蹦出来一只耗子。 正因为某人大肆张扬，所以他没有什么了不起。
四，
A man once had four sons who never stopped quarrelling with one another. He was always telling them how much easier life would be if they worked together but they took absolutely no notice of him. One day he decided to show them what he meant. He called all the sons together and put a tightly tied bundle of sticks on the floor in front of them. "Can you break that ? " he asked the youngest son. The boy put his knee on the bundle but though he pressed and pulled with his arms he could not bend the wood. The father asked each son in turn to try to break the bundle, but none of them could do it . Then he untied the string and scattered the sticks. " Now try, " he said . The boys broke the sticks easily in their hands. "Do you see what I mean ?" asked the father. "if only you stand together no one can hurt you . If you all disagree the whole time and insist on going your separate ways, the first enemy you meet will be able to destroy you. " United we stand ; divided we fall.
一捆树枝 从前有一个人，他有四个儿子。儿子们不断地争吵。他一再告诫他们
说，如果他们一起干活儿，生活会舒适得多，但他们丝毫不理会他的意见。有
一天，他决定通过示范把自己的意思告诉他们。 他把四个儿子都叫来，又把一
捆扎得很紧的细树枝放在他们面前的地上。 "你能折断这个吗？"他问最小的儿
子。小伙子用膝盖顶住，两只手又压又拉，都不能把那捆树枝弄弯。父亲让别
的儿子挨个儿试试，看他们是否能把那捆树枝折断，但谁也做不到。 然后，他
解开绳子，把树枝撒开。 "试试吧。"他说。四个小伙子用手轻轻一撅，树枝就
断了。 "你们明白我的意思了吗？"父亲问，"只要你们联合起来，谁也不能伤
害你们。如果你们老吵架，一定要各行其是，那么你们一遇到敌人，就会被打
败。" 合则存，分则败。

从前有一个牧民，养了几十只羊，白天放牧，晚上赶进一个用柴草和木桩等物
围起来的羊圈内。 一天早晨，这个牧民去放羊，发现羊少了一只。原来羊
圈破了个窟窿，夜间有狼从窟窿里钻了进来，把一只羊叼走了。 邻居劝告
他说：“赶快把羊圈修一修，堵上那个窟窿吧。” 他说：“羊已经丢了，还
去修羊圈干什么呢？”没有接受邻居的好心劝告。 第二天早上，他去放羊，
发现又少了一只羊。原来狼又从窟窿里钻进羊圈，又叼走了一只羊。 这位
牧民很后悔没有认直接受邻居的劝告，去及时采取补救措施。于是，他赶紧堵
上那个窟窿，又从整体进行加固，把羊圈修得牢牢实实的。 从此，这个牧
民的羊就再也没有被野狼叼走过了。 牧民的故事告诉我们：犯了错误，遭
到挫折，这是常见的现象。只要能认真吸取教训，及时采取补救措施，就可以
避免继续犯错误，遭受更大的损失。
