During the Eastern Han Dynasty (25-220AD), there was a man called Yue Yangzi. Encouraged by his wife, he left home to visit scholars and enrich his knowledge.
A year later, he came back home suddenly.
“Why have you returned?” asked his wife in surprise, “You've only spent one year studying with scholars.”
“I come back because I missed you very much,” Yue Yangzi replied.
Without saying anything, his wife took a pair of scissors and went to the loom at which she had worked. Pointing at the half-done brocade, she proclaimed, “This brocade is woven from the finest silk. I wove one strand after another to produce the brocade. Now if I cut it, all my previous work will be wasted. It's the same with your studies. Now, you've stopped halfway. Isn't it the same as cutting the brocade on the loom?”
Dee*** moved by what she said, Yue Yangzi again left home to continue his studies.
Several years later, he finished his studies and became a learned man.
During the Spring and Autumn Period (770-476 BC), there were two famous senior officials in the State of Yue. Gou Jian, the King of Yue, ignored the advice of Fan Li and blindly launched an attack against the neighboring State of Wu. As a result, he suffered a disastrous defeat. The King of Wu caught him and had him as a slave. Fan Li persuaded him to endure humiliation, pretend to surrender and wait for an opportunity to avenge. Also, Wen Zhong paid many visits to the State of Wu, trying to help restore Gou's confidence. Years later, Gou was set free. With the help of Fan and Wen, the State of Yue rapidly rehabilitated and later annexed the Wu.
As they had made so much contribution, both Fan and Wen were awarded great riches. Gou Jian even offered half of the state to Fan. However, knowing Gou too well, Fan rejected and decided to live in seclusion. As a hermit, Fan wrote to his friend Wen. In his letter, Fan said, “When all the flying birds have been shot down, the good bow is put away; when all the hares have been bagged, the hounds are killed for food. I suggest you withdraw to avoid disaster.” Taking his advice, Wen pretended to be ill and stopped attending imperial court meetings. But it was too late. Gou Jian believed the slanderous gossip about Wen and ordered Wen to kill himself.

A friend of mine named Paul received an automobile from his brother as a Christmas present. On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a street urchin[1] was walking around the shiny new car, admiring it.
"Is this your car, Mister?" he said.
Paul nodded. "My brother gave it to me for Christmas."
The boy was astounded[2]. "You mean your brother gave it to you and it didnt cost you nothing? Boy, I wish . . ."
He hesitated.
Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for. He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the lad said jarred Paul all the way down to his heels.
"I wish," the boy went on, "That I could be a brother like that."
Paul looked at the boy in astonishment[3], then impulsively he added, "Would you like to take a ride in my car?"
"Oh yes, Id love that."
After a short ride, the boy turned with his eyes aglow [4], said, "Mister, would you mind driving in front of my house?"
Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the lad wanted. He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big automobile. But Paul was wrong again. "Will you stop where those two steps are?" the boy asked.
He ran up the steps. Then in a little while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled[5] brother. He sat him down on the bottom step, then sort of squeezed up against him [6] and pointed to the car.
"There she is, Buddy[7], just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didnt cost him a cent. And some day Im gonna give you
one just like it . . . then you can see for yourself all the pretty things in the Christmas windows that Ive been trying to tell you about."
Paul got out and lifted the lad to the front seat of his car. The shining-eyed older brother climbed in beside him and the three of them began a memorable holiday ride.
That Christmas Eve, Paul learned what Jesus meant when he said: "It is more blessed to give[8] . . . "

内容：
哥哥的心愿圣诞节时，保罗的哥哥送他一辆新车。圣诞节当天，保罗离开办公室时，一个男孩绕着那辆闪闪发亮的.新车，十分赞叹地问：
"先生，这是你的车？"
保罗点点头："这是我哥哥送给我的圣诞节礼物。"男孩满脸惊讶，支支吾吾地说："你是说这是你哥送的礼物，没花你一分钱？天哪，我真希望也能……"
保罗当然知道男孩他真想希望什么。他希望能有一个象那样的哥哥。但是小男孩接下来说的话却完全出乎了保罗的意料。
"我希望自己能成为送车给弟弟的哥哥。"男孩继续说。
保罗惊愕地看着那男孩，冲口而出地说："你要不要坐我的车去兜风？"
"哦，当然好了，我太想坐了！"
车开了一小段路后，那孩子转过头来，眼睛闪闪发亮，对我说："先生，你能不能把车子开到我家门前？"
保罗微笑，他知道孩子想干什么。那男孩必定是要向邻居炫耀，让大家知道他坐了一部大轿车回家。但是这次保罗又猜错了。"你能不能把车子停在那两个台阶前？"男孩要求道。
男孩跑上了阶梯，过了一会儿保罗听到他回来了，但动作似乎有些缓慢。原来把他跛脚的弟弟带出来了，将他安置在第一个台阶上，紧紧地抱着他，指着那辆新车。
只听那男孩告诉弟弟："你看，这就是我刚才在楼上对你说的那辆新车。这是保罗他哥哥送给他的哦！将来我也会送给你一辆像这样的车，到那时候你就能自己去看那些在圣诞节时，挂窗口上的漂亮饰品了，就象我告诉过你的那样。"
保罗走下车子，把跛脚男孩抱到车子的前座。兴奋得满眼放光的哥哥也爬上车子，坐在弟弟的身旁。就这样他们三人开始一次令人难忘的假日兜风。
那个圣诞夜，保罗才真正体会主耶稣所说的"施比受更有福"的道理。

一天，有一个穿着很破烂的人来见他，并向他推荐自己："我有一项特别的`本领。"公孙龙就问道："什么本领?"那个人回答道："我声音特别大，很善于叫喊。"公孙龙听了，就转身问他旁边的门客："你们有谁善于叫喊?"结果没有一个人回答"是"。于是，他就收下了这个很善于叫的人作他的随从。
没过多久，公孙龙和他的门客一起出外游玩。他们来到一条很宽的河边，发现渡船在河的另一头，所有人都不知怎么办好。突然，公孙龙想起他最*收的那个人的本领是善于叫，于是，他就转过头去对那人说："你大声叫对面的船夫，看能不能把他叫过来。"那人觉得展示他技能的时候到了，就尽力大声向对面喊：" 喂，船夫，过来，我们要过河。"当他叫声刚完，那对面的船夫就摇着船过来了。公孙龙对这个新收的门客非常满意。

One day a crow stood on a branch near his nest and felt very happy with the meat in his mouth. At that time, a fox saw the crow with the meat, so he swallowed and eagerly thought of a plan to get the meat. However, whatever the fox said to the crow, the crow just kept silent. Until the fox thought highly of the crow’s beautiful voice, the crow felt flattered and opened his mouth to sing. As soon as the meat fell down to the ground, the fox took the meat and went into his hole.
——幼儿睡前简短童话小故事 (菁华5篇)
有个老奶奶，一个人孤零零地住在一幢老房子里，她多么希望有谁来陪伴自己，哪怕是一只猫，或一只狗，也总比一个人住强啊！
这天，老奶奶一早起来打开门，惊讶地看见门口站着一只背着包袱的猫。猫自称叫阿里答，来自遥远的北方。“如果你不嫌弃我，就让我来陪伴你吧。”阿里答说。
老奶奶很高兴，马上把小房间里的杂物清理干净，给阿里答铺了一张舒服的小床。
阿里答就这样在老奶奶家住了下来，但是很快，老奶奶就受不了了！阿里答总是乱翻东西，把老奶奶刚整理好的抽屉扒乱，或者是抓破衣服，扯断毛线，甚至，它还把书撕烂。
老奶奶想赶阿里答走，可是又舍不得。因为阿里答在带给她烦恼的同时，又给她带来许多快乐。阿里答的“喵喵”叫声，给老房子带来了生气；老奶奶去哪儿，它都跟着；天气晴朗的日子里，它陪老奶奶一起晒太阳。
有一天，老奶奶病了，起不了床，阿里答看上去担心极了，它绕着老奶奶的床打转。突然，它打开门冲了出去。
阿里答叫来了邻居，邻居请来医生，使老奶奶得到了及时的治疗。
“这真是一只了不起的猫啊！”整条街上的人都在议论阿里答。老奶奶乐呵呵地说：“现在看来，阿里答的那些缺点，真是算不了什么啊！”
有一天小老鼠动身去旅行。奶奶给它烤好了路上吃的烧饼，从洞里一直把它送到门口。小老鼠一大清早就出去了，到傍晚才回来。
“嘿，奶奶!”小老鼠叫道“你知道吗，奶奶，我在整个荒原上是最有力量、最机灵、最勇敢的!在这以前我一直还不知道呢。”
“你这是怎么知道的?"奶奶问。
“就是这样，”小老鼠开始述说了。“我从洞里出去，走呀，走，走到了海边上。那个海可大，可大了。海里波涛汹涌!但是我没有害怕，我跳到水里横渡大海。甚至我自己都感到惊讶，我游得多好哇。”
“你说的大海在哪儿?”奶奶问。
“在我们洞的东边。”小老鼠回答。
“知道，我知道这个海，”奶奶说，“那是不久前鹿从那儿经过时用脚跺下的水坑。”
“那你再听听。以后发生的事情吧”小老鼠说，“我在太阳里把身上的水晒干了，又往前走，走着，走着，看见一座山，可高，可高了。山顶上的树都挨着云彩了。我想，绝不能绕着山走。我跑了几步，一跳，就从山上跳过去了，甚至连我自己都惊讶，我怎么能跳得这么高。”
“知道，你说的山我也知道”奶奶说，“在水洼的'那边有一个小土墩，上面长着一些草。”
小老鼠叹了一口气，又继续说：“我继续往前走，忽然两只熊在打架，一只白色的，一只褐色的，它们吼叫着，把骨头都打断了，但是我没害怕，我往它们中间一跳，就把它们冲散到两边去啦。甚至连我自己都惊讶，我竟战胜了两只熊。”
奶奶想了想，说：“你所说的熊是谁?不过是白蛾和苍蝇。”
小老鼠立即痛苦起来。“闹了半天，我不是有力气的，不是机灵的，不是勇敢的。游过鹿脚印，跳过土墩子，把蛾子和苍蝇冲到一边去，我只有这点能耐呀。”
但是奶奶笑着说：“对你这样无知的小老鼠来说，鹿蹄印就是大海，土墩子就是高山，蛾子和苍蝇就是熊。如果这一切都不怕，也可以说在荒原上你的确是最顽强，最勇敢和最机灵的了。”
一棵蒲公英长在山谷里。一天，从山外飞来了一只小鸟，住在了他的旁边。小鸟每天都唱着优美的旋律，自由自在地在天空中飞翔着，他显得十分骄傲，感觉自己是十全十美的，许多小动物都嫉妒它。
有一天，那只骄傲的鸟发现了这棵优雅的蒲公英，蒲公英很受大家的喜欢，身边常常围绕着许多朋友。它知道了那棵蒲公英是大家崇拜的偶像，心里非常不是滋味，又羡慕又嫉妒，又恨他。小鸟眼珠子骨碌一转，计上心头，它想到了一个十分邪恶的主意哼，只要让蒲公英当众出丑，大家就不会崇拜他了，于是他便对着蒲公英喊了起来：老兄好久不见啦！蒲公英朝那只骄傲的鸟望了过去，只见他的嘴角上有一抹邪恶的微笑。骄傲的鸟对蒲公英大声说道:你会什么啊？肯定会唱首歌吧？我们来比比怎么样？蒲公英说道：亲爱的鸟先生，我什么都不会，我只想做自己喜欢的事！听到这句话，骄傲的鸟非常惊讶，张大了嘴巴，他以为蒲公英一定也和他一样地骄傲。
果然，蒲公英自己不断地生长着，到了秋天，一阵风吹过，蒲公英变成了一把把降落伞，它们向小鸟挥手告别，开始了自己的征程。小鸟孤零零的一个人，在秋风中。
小鸟认为蛙博士不过是徒有虚名罢了。他觉得蛙博士整天呆在井里，坐井观天，不傻已经是奇迹了。
小鸟飞到蛙博士家里毫不客气地嘲讽道：“你这孤陋寡闻的青蛙博士。”蛙博士朝上望了望说：“现在是高科技时代了，我能用强大的互联网上知天文下知地理，无所不知。”“切，就你也能教训我？笑话，我天天在外面飞，有时，一口气能飞几十公里。”小鸟说。“鬼才相信你见多识广！让我来考考你。2008年汶川大地震震级是多少级？”“8.0级。”青蛙博士说。“让我再考考你，李白被称为什么？”小鸟说。“被称为诗仙呗！”青蛙博士自信地说。小鸟又问：“苹果公司的创始人是谁？”“不就是乔布斯吗？”青蛙博士反问道。
“你当我还是从前那只蠢青蛙吗？”青蛙博士得意地指了指它的“泉井公司”。二十只青蛙一人手控两台超智能电脑，十个声控电话……
小鸟看完之后大吃一惊，感叹道：“科技改变生活。即使我们坐在家里，我们更相信科技的力量。哪怕自己飞的再高再远。但是你如果不了解科技你还是一无所知……”
经过这次教训，小鸟大开眼界。蛙博士的称呼果然名副其实，真的是“井蛙不出门，便知天下事。”
有一天小老鼠动身去旅行。奶奶给它烤好了路上吃的烧饼，从洞里一直把它送到门口。小老鼠一大清早就出去了，到傍晚才回来。

“那你再听听。以后发生的事情吧”小老鼠说，“我在太阳里把身上的水晒干了，又往前走，走着，走着，看见一座山，可高，可高了。山顶上的树都挨着云彩了。我想，绝不能绕着山走。我跑了几步，一跳，就从山上跳过去了，甚至连我自己都惊讶，我怎么能跳得这么高。”
“知道，你说的山我也知道”奶奶说，“在水洼的那边有一个小土墩，上面长着一些草。”
小老鼠叹了一口气，又继续说：“我继续往前走，忽然两只熊在打架，一只白色的，一只褐色的，它们吼叫着，把骨头都打断了，但是我没害怕，我往它们中间一跳，就把它们冲散到两边去啦。甚至连我自己都惊讶，我竟战胜了两只熊。”
奶奶想了想，说：“你所说的熊是谁?不过是白蛾和苍蝇。”
小老鼠立即痛苦起来。“闹了半天，我不是有力气的，不是机灵的，不是勇敢的。游过鹿脚印，跳过土墩子，把蛾子和苍蝇冲到一边去，我只有这点能耐呀。”
但是奶奶笑着说：“对你这样无知的小老鼠来说，鹿蹄印就是大海，土墩子就是高山，蛾子和苍蝇就是熊。如果这一切都不怕，也可以说在荒原上你的确是最顽强，最勇敢和最机灵的了。”
——幼儿园简短童话小故事 (菁华6篇)
离大海不远的地方有一片草地，草地里的草鲜美可口，是食草动物们的最爱。但正是由于常常有动物到这里来吃草，所以猎人和猎狗经常埋伏在草地周围，等待适当的时机，趁吃草的动物们不注意的时候突袭他们。
美味的鲜草把一头只有一只眼睛的鹿也吸引了过来，它已经冒险到这里吃过很多次草了，因为曾经受伤，只有一只眼睛，所以它比其他的鹿更加警觉和小心。当它吃草的时候，它会时刻注意着陆地这边的动静，一有风吹草动，它就会察觉到，然后及时逃命，所以它从来没有中过猎人的圈套。
一天，这只鹿又到海边的这块草地来吃草。它深信大海这边不会有任何危险，而陆地这边一定要谨防猎人的偷袭，所以它还是向往常一样，用好的那只眼睛注视着陆地这边，而瞎的那只眼睛对着大海那边。
正当它小心地防备着陆地这边的危险，啃食着美味鲜草的时候，大海这边不知不觉出现了一只小船，正静静地往草地这边靠*。当船离陆地不远地时候，在船上眺望地人发现了这只正在吃草的鹿，那个人带着碰碰运气的心理，拿来弓箭，瞄准对大海这边毫无防备的鹿，一箭射了过来，正中鹿的心脏。
突然中箭的鹿在临死前倒下的时候，痛苦地说：“我真是不幸，我小心翼翼地防范着陆地这边的危险，没想到我信赖的大海这边却给我带来了灾难！”
骄傲的乌龟
小乌龟强强非常强壮，动物们经常让他来帮大家干一些累活。
有一天，一只小白兔要搬家，它一个人怎么也搬不动家具。这时，它想到了小乌龟强强。它找到强强，对它说：“强强，可不可以帮我搬东西啊？”强强说：“当然可以！”于是它跟着小白兔到了家，帮它搬东西。很快就到了小白兔的新家，小乌龟强强把东西放了下来，小白兔让强强坐下，拿来了毛巾给强强擦汗，还不停地感谢它。坐了一会儿，小乌龟就又去帮助别人了。一天下来强强听了很多夸自己的话，觉得自己很了不起，大家没有它就无法生活，小乌龟强强就开始骄傲起来了，在动物面前经常说自己能干。慢慢地，小乌龟觉得自己比狮子强，决定找狮子单挑。
可是，小乌龟爬得太慢了，它抬头一望，看到了正在飞翔的大雁。于是，它叫住了大雁，傲慢地说：“我要向狮子挑战，你们快带我走。”大雁们听了，非常生气，决定教训一下乌龟。于是，它们找来一根树枝对它说：“你用嘴巴咬住这根树枝，我们带你走，不过你不能说话，不然你就会掉下去。“小乌龟说：”好好好，没问题。“它们起飞了，下面的小动物看见了会飞的乌龟纷纷夸道。小乌龟看到了非常得意，早就忘了大雁的话，兴奋地问：“我是不是很酷啊？”这一说，小乌龟掉了下去，乌龟摔了个狗啃泥。
从此以后小乌龟再也不敢骄傲了。
玉皇大帝的三个儿子和一个女儿，冬季是大哥叫冬神，夏季是二哥叫夏圣，秋季是三哥，叫秋王，只有春季是小妹叫春仙。
春天，四季中的小妹来到了大地上，春仙一来，田野上、山坡上立刻变得一片翠绿，小树发芽了，迎春花开了，小草从土地里探出头来，解冻了的河水流动着，发出了“叮咚，叮咚”的响声，大地变得温暖极了。
夏天，四季的二哥来了，夏圣一到，小草变得茂盛了，绿树成荫。太阳从山坡上冉冉升起，如同火一样，人们有的在家里吃着冰糕，有的在游泳池里游泳，还有的在大树下乘凉，夏天真炎热。
秋天，四季的三哥过来了，秋王高高兴兴的来了，树上结满了果子，有苹果，有鸭梨，有橘子，有柿子，还有石榴，果园里一片欢声笑语，原先是果农们高兴得从果树上采摘果子，然后秋田是一个丰收的季节。
冬天，四季的老大来了，冬神一来，大地上立刻变得雪白一片。冬天是孩子们最喜欢的季节之一。每当大雪过后，孩子们就走出家门堆雪人，打雪仗，滚雪球，滑雪，高兴极了。
四季忙碌着，时刻为人们服务。
今天是星期天，小变色龙和妈妈一起去公园玩耍。路过湖边的时候，小变色龙看到地上有支红红的东西，他不知道是什么。觉得很好奇，于是就捡了起来。
小变色龙拿着那个红红的东西往手上一划，马上出现了一道红红的印。他觉得还看极了。难道这就是兔子常说的“口红”吗?
小变色龙把“口红”涂在了自己的嘴上，湖水里小变色龙的嘴巴红彤彤的，漂亮极了。小变色龙可开心了，他想他捡到宝贝了。
“哇!原来涂上口红的我是如此耀眼!”小变色龙干脆把口红涂得遍身都是。
“抓住他!”一条大蛇不知从哪儿钻出来，呐喊着奔过来，“抓住他……”
“妈妈，救命呀!”小变色龙绝望地哀鸣着。
就在千钧一发之际，小变色龙的妈妈来了，她奋不顾身地向大蛇扑去，大蛇见势不对，掉头就跑。
“妈妈!”小变色龙哭着躲进妈妈的怀里。
妈妈看着变色龙滑稽的模样:“傻孩子，你在干啥呀?是流血了吗?”
“不是，”小变色龙说，“我在草丛中拾到一支口红。我认为红颜色看，刚刚涂完，大蛇就追来了。”
“好看的东西不一定适合自己。”妈妈说，“我们的身体才是世界上最棒的。我们的皮肤有三层色素细胞，可以根据环境、温度和心情而改变，还有利于我们自我保护。”
说完，妈妈带领小变色跳进湖里，帮他洗去身上的红颜色。一会儿，小变色龙的皮肤就变得和湖水一样，蓝幽幽的。跳上湖岸，走进草丛中，他们又变成草一样的绿色了。
住在地洞里的小老鼠在睡觉的时候做了一个很奇怪的梦，就是自己竟然吃掉了一头很大很大的大象!这可太神奇了，不过小老鼠决定去做和梦里一样的事情。
一天早上，小老鼠起床了，它昨夜梦见自己把一头大象给吃了。它好奇地心想：我能吃大象?于是，小老鼠想了想，决定去探险。
小老鼠关上了门，穿过了树林，走过了千山万水，饿了就用野果充饥，渴了喝点泉水。走着走着，终于发现了一头大象。
大象很忙很忙，一会儿给果树浇水，一会儿摘果子，小老鼠大胆地走到大象面前说：“大象，我要吃了你。”
大象没听清，以为小老鼠饿了，就摘了一个红艳艳的果子给小老鼠吃，小老鼠气愤极了，大叫道：“我要吃了你。”大象累极了，没有理睬小老鼠，躺下就睡着了。
小老鼠心想：如果我从大象的鼻孔钻进去，先吃了大象的心，再吃了它的胃。想着想着，口水直流三千尺。
于是，小老鼠就趁机钻了进去，大象的鼻子里又黑又大，小老鼠走到大象的心前，正准备张开大嘴咬一口，突然大象觉得鼻子里痒痒的，打了一个喷嚏把小老鼠震飞了，小老鼠还不知道怎么一回事。
小老鼠身上黏糊糊的，你知道那是什么吗?那是大象的鼻涕，小老鼠跌到一个大洞里，摔得皮开肉绽，再也不敢吹牛了!
这天，长劲鹿偶然和大象相遇。“大象哥，我同你比比身子高低好吗？”不等大象回答，长颈鹿便来到大象旁并肩站着，“嗨，我超过你一个头还多呢！”大象闷声不响。“大象哥，你瞧瞧我的脖颈，说实在的，我的个子之所以能比你高得多，还不是全靠它？再说，我有了它嘛，就能毫不费力地吃到树上的嫩叶，你瞧——”说着，长颈鹿便伸长脖颈，津津有味地吃起树叶来了。大象仍是闷声不响。长颈鹿更得意洋洋地说：“大象哥，有个长颈，吃起东西来多方便呀！这点嘛，连鸭、鸬鹚、丹顶鹤等小弟弟小妹妹们都知道。可你为什么偏偏长个短短的脖颈，你呀，简直是天下的大傻瓜！”
“哈哈哈……”大象忍不住大笑起来。“你为何发笑？”长颈鹿诧异地问道。“鹿兄弟，”大象慢条斯理地说，“你认为我长一个像你那样的长脖颈好吗？可事实证明，我有个短脖颈好，要是长个长脖颈可糟了。”
“嗬，大象兄，那请你说说道理吧！”“好，你听我说……”听了大象的一番话，长颈鹿恍然大悟。
——幼儿园讲故事简短童话小故事(精选10篇)
有一天，花园里的玫瑰花儿们突然争吵起来了。
一．红玫瑰和白玫瑰的争吵
红玫瑰说：“瞧瞧我美丽的身体，多像一颗红宝石啊！再瞧瞧你，全身白色多么单调呀！”
白玫瑰生气地说：“哼！我全身雪白，但多么像冬天翩翩起舞的雪花呀！但你全身红色，像伤口的鲜血呀！”……
二．黄玫瑰和蓝玫瑰的争吵
黄玫瑰对蓝玫瑰说：“你看，我全身金黄像一颗珍贵的金子呀！你却什么都不像！”
蓝玫瑰不服气地说：“自吹自擂，我还不是像一角的蓝天一样蓝，多么漂亮！而你却被人类利用着。”……
三．终于和好
这时，蝴蝶姐姐来了，看到这样的一幕，赶紧说：“大家别争吵了！虽然你们的颜色不同，但你们在给花园装饰。你们不管颜色同不同，只管团不团结！”
玫瑰们听了连忙点头，它们又开始绽放自己的笑脸了，花园里的红玫瑰像一颗红宝石，白玫瑰像一片雪花，黄玫瑰像一颗金子，蓝玫瑰像一角蓝天，把花园打扮得五彩缤纷，这座花园的游客越来越多。花儿们看到这么多的游客开心地笑了！
傍晚，一只羊独自在山坡上玩，突然从树木中窜出一只狼来，要吃羊，羊跳起来，拼命用角抵抗，并大声向朋友们求救。
牛在树丛中向这个地方望了一眼，发现是狼，跑走了；
马低头一看，发现是狼，一溜烟跑了；
驴停下脚步，发现是狼，悄悄溜下山坡；
猪经过这里，发现是狼，冲下山坡；
兔子一听，更是一箭一般离去。
山下的狗听见羊的呼喊，急忙奔上坡来，从草丛中闪出，一下咬住了狼的脖子，狼疼得直叫唤，趁狗换气时，怆惶逃走了。
回到家，朋友都来了，
牛说：你怎么不告诉我？我的角可以剜出狼的肠子。
马说：你怎么不告诉我？我的蹄子能踢碎狼的脑袋。
驴说：你怎么不告诉我？我一声吼叫，吓破狼的胆。
猪说：你怎么不告诉我？我用嘴一拱，就让它摔下山去。
兔子说：你怎么不告诉我？我跑得快，可以传信呀。
在这闹嚷嚷的一群中，唯独没有狗。
提示：真正的友谊，不是花言巧语，而是关键时候拉你的那只手。那些整日围在你身边，让你有些许小欢喜的朋友，不一定是真正的朋友。而那些看似远离，实际上时刻关注着你的人，在你快乐的时候，不去奉承你；你在你需要的时候，默默为你做事的人，才是真正的朋友。
小狮子的头发长又长，迎风吹起像波浪，左看看，有瞧瞧，自己觉得真漂亮！妈妈说：“你是一个男子汉，长头发，不好看，剪短一点才最帅！”
小狮子嘴一撇：“不干，不干，我不干！”在公园，真好玩，小木马、滑滑梯。还有电动小飞机。荡秋千，飞的高，小狮子的头发迎风飘。
小狐狸看见小狮子的长头发，给他提起小建议：“小狮子，你的头发沾满野草和树叶，赶紧将它剪一剪，长头发，不卫生，遮住脸，挡住视线有危险。”小狮子手一摆：“不干，不干，我不干！”小狮子在公园里玩个遍，树下一躺睡半天。哎呀呀，不得了！鸟儿把头发当杂草，在小狮子的头上筑了巢。怎么办？赶紧跑到理发店，洗一洗，剪一剪，小狮子，换新颜！
大家快来看一看，小狮子的新发型，干净卫生又很帅！
小狐狸从深山来到城市，看到许多高楼和汽车，感到很新奇。
在城里住了几天，小狐狸嗓子干干的，鼻子痒痒的，浑身不舒服。
小狐狸去医院看病，医生对它说：“你得了空气污染过敏症，天天呼吸新鲜空气，就能治好你的病。”
小狐狸又回到了深山老家。那儿长满了绿绿的树、青青的草、红红的花，空气可新鲜啦！小狐狸吸了新鲜空气，病渐渐地好了。
可它还是觉得心里很不安，小狐狸想：城里的空气太坏了，我为什么不把山里的新鲜空气运到城里去卖呢？
小狐狸把新鲜空气装在大葫芦里带到城市，卖给了一位老奶奶。
老奶奶吸了新鲜空气，气喘病好多了，她把这个消息告诉了大家。结果，买新鲜空气的人越来越多，小狐狸就用大罐子把新鲜空气运到城里，开了一家“新鲜空气专卖店。”
几年过去了，城市发生了很大变化，到处是绿树、草坪和鲜花，就像美丽的大花园。人们再也不用来买小狐狸的新鲜空气了。
一天，小猪、小鹿和小兔一起去森林里玩。
突然，小猪找到了一块布，就对小鹿和小兔说：“我们一起玩捉迷藏吧？”
“好！”小鹿和小兔同声说。
于是小鹿用布将小猪的眼睛蒙上了。小兔说：“开始！”小猪就开始找它们了。
小兔走过去对小鹿轻轻说：“小鹿，我们别出声，这样小猪就找不到我们了。”小鹿说：“好！”
这时，小猪并没有听见它们小声说话的声音，仍然没有找到它们。它努力地找呀找呀，却始终没能准确捉到它们。接着，小猪走到一棵大树旁边，摸到了树的树干，它非常高兴，以为终于捉到了一个，就紧紧地抱住了大树。
小兔和小鹿看到了小猪抱着一棵大树，哈哈地笑个不停。这时，小猪听到它们俩的笑声，就把脸上的布摘了下来。看到小鹿和小兔还在哈哈地嘲笑着自己，非常生气，对小兔和小鹿说：”我不就是抱到了一棵大树嘛，有什么好笑的！”
小鹿和小兔看到小猪生气了，小兔走过去对小猪说：“好啦！好啦！别生气了。我们不是在笑话你。”小鹿又走过去对小猪说：“对啊，我们没有笑话你。刚才是我们不对，不应该笑的，让你误会了。我向你道歉，对不起！”小兔也对小猪说：“我也向你道歉，对不起！”
小猪看到小鹿和小兔向它道歉了，高兴的笑了，对它俩说：“好啦，没关系的。我不怪你们啦。”小兔和小鹿连声说：”小猪，谢谢你原谅了我们。”
小猪说：“我也要谢谢你们，在我生气的时候，都在安慰我，不让我生气。”小兔和小鹿又同声说：“你永远是我们的朋友！”小猪被这句话感动了，也对它们说：“你们也是我的朋友！”
从那以后，小猪、小鹿和小兔成了永远也离不开的好朋友！
一天，森林里住着小熊、小猴和小猪，它们想一起盖房子。它们商量着，我们用木头盖房子吧，因为森林里好多木头。三个小伙伴一起大声说：好！
它们一起去找木头。小猴找了一颗又粗又大的木头。小熊说：“咱们要这棵树盖房子吧。”小猪听了说：“一棵树盖不了房子，咱们分头行动，多找些木头吧。”很快，小熊和小猪都找到了木头。
小熊力气大，把木头扛在肩上，没走几步就撑不住了，小猪心想：我力气可没小熊的大，干脆我用我的鼻子把木头滚回去吧。小猪滚着木头，没滚多远，它的鼻子快成肉饼了，好痛啊！
这时，小猴看见不远处有条河。小猴最聪明，它心生一计，把木头放在水里，就可以顺流而下。小猪一看，对小熊说：“咱们也像小猴一样，把木头从河里运运回去。”就这样，它们齐心协力把木头运了回去，盖了一个又结实又漂亮的房子。小熊、小猴，小猪欢天喜地唱着歌，跳着舞，庆祝有了新房子。
小猪推来了一把椅子，对小猴说：“兄弟，这次盖房子多亏你。”
小猴的办法真是好。
溺水的小猴子
夏天到了，太阳炙烤着大地，小猴子觉得可真热呀！
它来到一处小河边，准备去游泳。
它“扑通”一声跳下了水，顿时感觉凉快极了，快活的游来游去。
突然，小猴子感觉腿抽筋，疼得要命，它吓坏了，拼命挣扎，几乎就快要淹死的时候，碰巧乌龟爷爷在对岸，把小猴子救了上来。
小猴子后怕极了，惊魂未定，乌龟爷爷说：“你抽筋是因为游泳之前没有做热身运动的缘故，下次一定要记住了。”小猴子重重的点了点头。
西西是一个新来的雨天使，她的任务就是掌管下雨。但糟糕的是，没有人告诉西西怎样才能下雨。
西西去问老天使，老天使说：“经常给云朵们讲难过的故事，它们掉眼泪了，就有了雨。”
可快乐的西西，没有什么难过的故事。
西西又去问月亮老人，月亮老人想了一会，说：“你试着用力捏痛那些云朵，它们哭了，就有了雨。”可善良的西西不想伤害那些云朵。
好多天没有下雨了，西西在云朵上走来走去，想着下雨的办法。忽然，她听到格格的笑声，原来是她脚下的云在笑。西西问：“什么事这样有趣啊？”云朵笑着说：“你的脚趾头正好挠到了我们的胳肢窝，我们笑得眼泪都快掉下来了。”西西的脑袋里忽然有了个主意。她不停地在云朵间跑来跑去，用脚趾头挠云朵们的胳肢窝。
在雨水的滋润下，小草变得更绿了，树木长得更高了，动物们又有水洗澡了。
直到今天，西西还在做着这个非常有趣的工作。
【国王选大臣】
很久很久以前，在你没有出生，我也没有出生的时候，一个城堡里住着一个国王，他可是一个对吃要求很高的国王。城堡外聚集了很多人，国王宣布谁能做出让他觉得最好吃的食物，谁就能当自己的大臣。
开始煮美食了，第一个人拿出了砂锅、糖，一块新鲜的肉等等，他先拿出砂锅放下糖，接着放下肉，大火烧起，最后一道“东坡肉”美食就出来了。旁边的众人闻着味就觉得在仙境一般了，可国王尝了一口：“呸，呸，呸，什么东西呀，太难吃！”第一个人落选了。
第二个人，他要做的是烤鸡。他把鸡放在火上烤，烤好后，国王尝了一口，也是不满意。
第三个人做青蒸螃蟹，国王尝了一口，还是不满意，让他走了。大家看完后，一个个都不敢再做美食了。
这时，人群中出现了一个衣衫褴褛，满脸胡渣的人，自告奋勇地出来，只见他清水烧开，洒下几粒盐，放下青菜。三分钟，这道“水煮青菜”就呈现在国王面前。“这么难吃的菜也叫美食？”大家议论纷纷。当国王尝完一口后，竟然发出“啧啧啧”的赞叹声，并且宣布这个像乞丐一样的男人做了他的大臣。
后来，这位大臣也一直为穷苦百姓造福。
杰克和玛丽是黑蚂蚁王国国王的儿子和女儿，也就是王子和公主。或许你心里想他们贵为王子和公主，一定是心想事成，一定过得很惬意。事实上，他俩的确想要什么有什么，但是却总觉得不开心，觉得自己在皇宫里快“憋”坏了。有一天吃完午饭，杰克和玛丽成功逃过守卫的看护，悄悄地钻出地面，来到新奇的人类世界。
辽阔的蓝天，洁白的云朵，欢快的飞鸟，粗壮的大树，茂密的草丛，还有各种没见过的昆虫。杰克和玛丽在草丛里快活地跑来跑去，他们爬到树藤上荡秋千，溜到草尖上喝露水，在小水洼的一片叶子上划船。他们围着大树转圈圈，在草丛里捉迷藏，玩得不亦乐乎。后来，他们实在太累了，就躺在一朵桂花花朵里睡觉，暖暖的太阳，微微的清风，袅袅的花香，睡得可甜了！
“醒醒，醒醒”，杰克和玛丽不高兴地睁开眼睛，正恼火那个打扰自己美梦的声音。却发现自己正躺在皇宫的卧室里午休，守卫来叫自己起床，准备开始下午的功课。
一切还是那么地沉闷，无聊。

二年，宣子在首阳山(今山西省永济县东南)打猎，住在翳桑。他看见一人非常饥饿，就去询问他的病情。那人说：“我已经三天没吃东西了。”宣子就将食物送给他吃，可他却留下一半。宣子问他为什么，他说：“我离家已三年了，不知道家中老母是否还活着。现在离家很*，请让我把留下的食物送给她。”
宣子让他把食物吃完，另外又为他准备了一篮饭和肉。后来，灵辄做了晋灵公的武士。一次，灵公想杀宣子，灵辄在搏杀中反过来抵挡晋灵公的手下，使宣子得以脱险。
宣子问他为何这样做，他回答说：“我就是在翳桑的那个饿汉。”宣子再问他的姓名和家居时，他不告而退。这个知恩图报的故事后来成为典故，杜甫在“奉赠韦左丞丈二十二韵”诗中就引用了它：常拟报一饭，况怀辞大臣。

可是这次却没有。她忽然觉得这些人都不好，都见死不救。后来，有一个男孩将自己的拖鞋给了她，然后自己赤脚在那晒得滚烫的鹅卵石上走了很久的路。还自嘲说是铁板烧。
女孩表示感谢，男孩说，你要记住，没有谁是必须要帮你的。帮你是出于交情，不帮你是应该。女孩记住了男孩的话，自此以后学会了对施以援手的人铭记在心，并给以更大的回报。

The Chinese people call flattery to someone's face "presenting a tall hat" to someone.
In the past, an official in the imperial1 court in Beijing was appointed to an official post outside the capital. Before departure, he went to his teacher's home to bid farewell. His teacher warned him: "It is not easy to be an official outside the capital. You should be prudent2 and careful."
The official replied: "Please don't worry. I have prepared 100 'tall hats'，and will present one to each and every person I meet. I'm sure all the local people will be pleased."
The teacher said reproachingly3: "We are all honest gentlemen. How can you do that?"
The official pretended he had no way out and said: "Very few people under heaven are like you who dislike being flattered4 or presented with tall hats."
Hearing this, the teacher was very much pleased. He nodded and said: "What you said is true, too."
After the official said farewell to his teacher and went out, he said to his friend: "Of my 100 'tall hats', now only 99 are left."
中国人把当面说奉承话叫做给某人“戴高帽子”。
在古代，有一个在京城朝廷里做官的人，奉命去外地做官。临行前，他去老师家告别。老师叮嘱说:“外地的官不容易做，应当谨慎小心些才好。”

老师听了很高兴，点点头说:“你讲的也不错!”
那个做官的人告别老师出来后，对朋友说:“我的一百顶高帽子，现在只剩下九十九顶了!”

Ignorance of the objective world
In the State of Lu, there was a couple of husband and wife, the former being an expert shoemaker and the latter a skilled hand in wearing taffeta. One day after consultations they decided to go to the state of Yue to earn a livelihood. The neighbors advised them not to go when they learned about their plan. "Don't go there," said one neighbor, "If you go, you can never earn a livelihood."
"We cannot understand you," interrogated the couple, "We have a find command of our art, how could we not earn our living with our work? Don't make a fool of us, please."
"Indeed, you have your skill," explained the man, "But have you taken notice of the fact that shoes are made for people and the silk taffeta are for hat-making? The people of Yue don't wear shoes, for they are barefooted. Again, they like to have their hair spread out over their heads and they never use hats. To whom should you sell your shoes and hats then?" Experienced though you are in the arts, yet the arts you have mastered are useless there."
