The bulging belly fox
A hungry Fox found in a hollow tree a quantity of bread and meat, which some shepherds had placed there against their return. Delighted with his find he slipped in through the narrow aperture and greedily devoured it all. But when he tried to get out again he found himself so swollen after his big meal that he could not squeeze through the hole, and fell to whining and groaning over his misfortune. Another Fox, happening to pass that way, came and asked him what the matter was; and, on learning the state of the case, said, “Well, my friend, I see nothing for it but for you to stay where you are till you shrink to your former size; you’ll get out then easily enough.”
胀肚的狐狸
饥饿的狐狸在一棵中空的树干中发现了一些牧羊人存留的面包和肉。高兴之余，他立即通过那狭窄的缝隙挤进去，贪婪的大吃起来。然而，当他吃饱之后，却发现自己的肚子胀鼓鼓的，即便费了九牛二虎之力，却怎么也钻不出那个洞来，便在树洞里唉声叹气。另一只狐狸恰巧经过那里，听到他的呻 吟，便过去问他原因。听明白缘由后，那只狐狸便说道：“我的朋友，你就老老实实待在里边吧，等到恢复了钻进去之前的身材，你就能轻松地出来了。”
The Butterfly arrived at the place filled with apple tree flowers."Tomorrow,the apple tree flower will fade along with the wind even if she is blooming today." The apple tree flower wasn't good enough to be the butterfly's bride,either.
There was a pea flower."Wow,she is very splendid!" Pea flowers were in elegant bloom with red and white colors.The Butterfly liked the pea flower because she was neither too lonely nor too dazzling.
"Hi,Miss Pea flower?" Butterfly flew closer to her to ask to be his bride.Then,he caught sight of a messy flower hanging on a leaf with a withered bean chaff.He ran away in a hurry after seeing that.
In this way,spring and summer passed.But the butterfly still could not find his bride.Autumn day Butterfly smelled a strong scent while he was flying.There was a peppermint in the field.
"That's great.Even though peppermint does not have any flowers,her leaves have a very strong scent.Peppermint's leaves are the same as flowers.I will make her my bride." Butterfly flew next to the peppermint and asked,"Miss Peppermint,would you please be my bride?"
Then the peppermint said,"Mr.Butterfly,it is autumn now.You and I are too old.Don't tell me about 'being your bride' any more." In the end,Butterfly could not find any bride.

One day,it got dark before she got home.She had been dancing and flying around so she didn't have time to get back to the rose bush.Suddenly,the weather got cold,evening dew started to fall,and a strong wind began to blow.She could not stay in the other flowers because they were all closed up.
"What am I going to do now? It's too cold." She got scared because she had never stayed outside at night.There was a twinkling light from the other side of the garden."It's too cold,and I am scared.Maybe I should spend tonight there."

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 house-dog some meat. The hound feels very angry. He says unhappily to the housedog, “Where I work very hard outside, you 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.
