　雙語兒童寓言故事

　　The Kingdom of the Lion獅子國王

　　THE BEASTS of the field and forest had a Lion as their king. He was neither wrathful, cruel, nor tyrannical, but just and gentle as a king could be. During his reign he made a royal proclamation for a general

　　assembly of all the birds and beasts, and drew up conditions for a universal league, in which the Wolf and the Lamb, the Panther and the Kid, the Tiger and the Stag, the Dog and the Hare, should live together in

　　perfect peace and amity. The Hare said, "Oh, how I have longed to see this day, in which the weak shall take their place with impunity by the side of the strong." And after the Hare said this, he ran for his life.

　　有只獅子做了國王，他善良、溫和，與人一樣和平、公正。在他的統(tǒng)治下，懲惡揚善， 裁決動物之間的糾紛，使所有的動物和睦相處。膽小的兔子說：“我祈禱能得到這樣的日 子，那時弱者就不怕被強者傷害了。” 然后趕緊逃命去了。

　　《公雞和寶玉》

　　A COCK, scratching for food for himself and his hens, found a precious stone and exclaimed: "If your owner had found thee, and not I, he would have taken thee up, and have set thee in thy first estate; but I have found

　　thee for no purpose. I would rather have one barleycorn than all the jewels in the world."

　　一只公雞在田野里為自己和母雞們尋找食物。他發(fā)現(xiàn)了一塊寶玉，便對寶玉說：“若不 是我，而是你的主人找到了你，他會非常珍惜地把你撿起來;但我發(fā)現(xiàn)了你卻毫無用處。我 與其得到世界上一切寶玉，倒不如得到一顆

　　麥子好。”

　　這是說自己需要的東西才是真正珍貴的。
