　　1 、麥草、煤塊和豆子的故事

　　一座村子里住著一位貧窮的老太太，她摘了一盤豆子，準備煮熟了吃。她在爐子里點上火，為了讓爐子燒得快一點，她生爐子的時候用了一把麥草。當把豆子倒進鍋里時，她沒有注意到一粒豆子掉了出來，落在地上的一根麥草旁。不一會兒，一塊燃燒的煤炭也從爐子中跳了出來，落在它倆的旁邊。于是，麥草開口說：“親愛的朋友們，你們從哪里來呀?”煤塊答道：“我總算幸運地從火里跳出來了。要是我沒有使勁跳出來，我必死無疑，一定會被燒成灰燼。”豆子說：“我也成功地逃了出來，可要是那老太太把我倒進了鍋子，我肯定會像我的伙伴們一樣，被她毫不留情地煮成濃湯。”“難道我不是不幸中之萬幸嗎?”麥草問，“那個老太太把我所有的兄弟塞進爐火里，變成了輕煙。她一把就抓住了六十根，要了它們的命。幸好我從她的指縫里溜掉了。”

　　“可我們現在怎么辦呢?”煤塊問。

　　“我覺得，”豆子回答，“既然我們都幸運地死里逃生，我們就應該像好伙伴一樣團結在一起。為了避免在這地方再遭到厄運，我們應該離開這里，到別的地方去。”

　　另外兩位都覺得這是一個好主意，于是它們便結伴而行。沒過多久，它們來到了一條小溪邊，小溪上既沒有橋，也沒有跳磴，它們不知道該怎么過去。麥草靈機一動，說：“讓我橫躺在小溪上，你們可以像過橋一樣從我身上走過去。”麥草說著便把自己的身子從小溪的這一邊伸到了另一邊。煤塊性子比較急，立刻大著膽子走上了這座剛剛搭好的橋。可是它走到橋中間時，聽到溪水在腳下嘩嘩地流淌，不由得害怕起來，站在那里不敢往前走。這下麥草燃了起來，斷成兩截掉進了小溪。煤塊跟著掉了下去，碰到水發出咝的一聲，就送了命。豆子一直謹慎地呆在岸上，看到這情景不由得放聲哈哈大笑。它笑呀笑，笑得裂開了自己的肚皮。它本來也許就這樣完蛋了，但幸運的是，一個外出找活干的裁縫正好坐在小溪旁休息。這位裁縫心腸很好，取出針線把它的肚子縫在了一起。豆子好好地謝了裁縫，可由于裁縫用的是黑線，所以豆子的身上至今還留有一條黑縫。

　　THE STRAW, THE COAL, AND THE BEAN

　　In a village dwelt a poor old woman, who had gathered together a dish of beans and wanted to cook them. So she made a fire on her hearth, and that it might burn the quicker, she lighted it with a handful of straw. When she was emptying the beans into the pan, one dropped without her observing it, and lay on the ground beside a straw, and soon afterwards a burning coal from the fire leapt down to the two.

　　Then the straw began and said: “Dear friends, from whence do you come here?” The coal replied: “I fortunately sprang out of the fire, and if I had not escaped by sheer force, my death would have been certain,--I should have been burnt to ashes.” The bean said: “I too have escaped with a whole skin, but if the old woman had got me into the pan, I should have been made into broth without any mercy, like my comrades.” “And would a better fate have fallen to my lot?” said the straw. “The old woman has destroyed all my brethren in fire and smoke; she seized sixty of them at once, and took their lives. I luckily slipped through her fingers.”

　　"But what are we to do now?” said the coal. “I think,” answered the bean, “that as we have so fortunately escaped death, we should keep together like good companions, and lest a new mischance should overtake us here, we should go away together, and repair to a foreign country.”

　　The proposition pleased the two others, and they set out on their way together. Soon, however, they came to a little brook, and as there was no bridge or foot-plank, they did not know how they were to get over it. The straw hit on a good idea, and said: “I will lay myself straight across, and then you can walk over on me as on a bridge.” The straw therefore stretched itself from one bank to the other, and the coal, who was of an impetuous disposition, tripped quite boldly on to the newly-built bridge. But when she had reached the middle, and heard the water rushing beneath her, she was after all, afraid, and stood still, and ventured no farther. The straw, however, began to burn, broke in two pieces, and fell into the stream. The coal slipped after her, hissed when she got into the water, and breathed her last. The bean, who had prudently stayed behind on the shore, could not but laugh at the event, was unable to stop, and laughed so heartily that she burst. It would have been all over with her, likewise, if, by good fortune, a tailor who was traveling in search of work, had not sat down to rest by the brook. As he had a compassionate heart he pulled out his needle and thread, and sewed her together. The bean thanked him most prettily, but as the tailor used black thread, all beans since then have a black seam.
