The Dog and the Shadow（狗和影子）
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.
这个是伊索寓言

The Selfish Giant
Once upon a time, there lived a Giant in a small town. Every afternoon, Children used to play in the giant's gardern after school. It was a very beautiful garden with flowers like the star and lovely birds singing in the trees.
But one day, the Giant came home from his friend's town. He had been there for over one year. When he saw those kids playing wildly in his garden, he was so angry and drove them all away.
The kids has nowhere to play, they always looked at that beautiful garden and remembered how happy they used to be.
Then spring came, everywhere was full of flowers and fresh grass, except the Giant’s garden. It was still white everywhere. What’s worse, snowstorm, heavy rain and hail kept visiting there all the year round. God has forgotten this place, Giant thought sadly. Winter came again, snow covered everywhere again. But one day, when he woke up in the noon, he was so surprised to find that in his garden flowers has blossomed, and trees were quite green and birds were singing. Meanwhile, he heard laughters and shouts. He looked through his window, there were kids played happily. But in one of the corner, one little boy was crying for not being able to climb up the tree which is still full of snow. The Giant went out the house and walked toward the boy. Other kids were so frightened at the sight of him and ran away. But the Giant just helped the boy sit in the tree that immediately turned green. Other kids were back again and played with the Giant. Next day, kids came again except that little boy. And he asked every kid, but they all didn’t know him at all.
Years later, one winter morning the Giant saw that boy again; he hurried to the garden and asked him who he was. He replied, “You allowed me to play in your garden in one winter day, and today I will bring you to my garden where is paradise.”
