The old cat 老猫
An old woman had a cat. The cat was very old; she could not run quickly, and she could not bite, because she was so old. One day the old cat saw a mouse; she jumped and caught the mouse. But she could not bite it; so the mouse got out of her mouth and ran away, because the cat could not bite it.
Then the old woman became very angry because the cat had not killed the mouse. She began to hit the cat. The cat said, "Do not hit your old servant. I have worked for you for many years, and I would work for you still, but I am too old. Do not be unkind to the old, but remember what good work the old did when they were young."

大自然是我们的母亲nature is our mother
Good morning ladies and gentlemen, I`m so happy to stand here. My name is Li Qian,I`m from Gaoyu primary school.Today my topic is “nature is our mother”.
I think everyone here maybe have this experience ,when you are little girl ,you often ask your mother:
"Mom, I'm sorry, I need 100 yuan to have dinner with my friends."
"Mom, tomorrow is my friend`s birthday, I must buy her a present."
"Mom, this jacket was out of fashion, I need a new one. "
Take. Take. Take. We often get something from our mother.We know our mother is always there for me, providing us with everything we need; from food to clothing, from clothing to money. Do you think this question "Will there be a time that your mother say you have taken enough from her? "
Like the child endlessly asking, we humans, have been demanding what we need from nature. We enjoy the comfort and beauty of our furniture, but we never think about the question about soil. We think we must warm ourselves in winter times, but we hardly realize the burning away of natural resources. we have hurt our mother-earth. we can`t continue our carelessness.
Let`s start respecting and caring for nature from now on. Let`s start the campaign of creating a relationship between people and nature. With this new start, I believe that our children, and our children's children will live in a clean air, clean water, blue sky and an even more beautiful world!
My speech is over , thank you!

我想在座的各位也许有这样的经历,当你的小女孩,你经常会问你的妈妈：
“妈妈,对不起,我需要100元和我的朋友一起吃饭.”
“妈妈,明天是我的朋友'的生日,我要给她买份礼物.”
“妈妈,这件衣服过时了,我需要一个新的.”
服用.服用.服用.我们经常得到的东西从我们mother.We知道我们的母亲一直守候在那里,我们提供的一切,我们需要从食物到衣服,从衣服的钱.你认为这个问题“将会有一个时间,你妈妈说你已经从她够吗?”
像孩子无止境的要求一样,我们人类,一直要求我们从自然的需要.我们享受的舒适和家具的美丽,但我们从来没有想过关于土壤的问题的看法.我们认为,我们必须在冬天温暖自己,但我们很难实现这样被烧掉的自然资源.我们曾经伤害过我们的母亲地球.我们可以继续我们的疏忽`吨.
让我们先开始吧,从现在尊重,关爱自然.我们快开始了创建人与自然之间关系的运动.有了这个新的开始,我相信我们的孩子,我们孩子的孩子将生活在一个干净的空气,干净的水,蓝色的天空,一个更美好的世界!
我的讲话完了,谢谢!

Drawing a snake and Adding Feet
画蛇添足
In the Warring States Period, a man in the State of Chu was offering a sacrifice to his ancestors. After the ceremony, the man gave a beaker of wine to his servants. The servants thought that there was not enough wine for all them, and decided to each draw a picture of a snake; the one who finished the picture first would get the wine. One of them drew very rapidly. Seeing that the others were still busy drawing, he added feet to the snake. At this moment another man finished, snatched the beaker and drank the wine, saying, 'A snake doesn't have feet. How can you add feet to a snake? '
战国时代有个楚国人祭他的祖先.仪式结束后,他拿出一壶酒赏给手下的几个人.大家商量说：“我们都来画蛇,谁先画好谁就喝这壶酒.”其中有一个人先画好了.但他看到同伴还没有画完,就又给蛇添上了脚.这时,另一个人也画好了,夺过酒壶吧酒喝了,并且说：“蛇本来是没有脚的,你怎么能给它添上脚呢?”

老鼠和公牛(a mouse and a bull)
A mouse once took a bite out of a bull's tail as he lay dozing. The bull jumped up in a rage and, with his head low to the ground, chased the mouse right across the yard. The mouse was too quick for him, however, and slipped easily into a hole in the wall.
The bull charged the wall furiously again and again, but although he bruised his head and chipped his horns, the mouse stayed safely inside his hole. After a time the bull gave up and sank down to rest again.
As soon as the bull was asleep, the little mouse crept to the mouth of the hole, pattered across the yard, bit the bull again -- this time on the nose -- and rushed back to safety. As the bull roared helplessly the mouse squeaked:
"It's not always the big people who come off best. Sometimes the small ones win, you know."
老鼠和公牛
有一次,公牛躺着打盹,一只老鼠咬了他的尾巴.公牛怒气冲冲地跳起来,低着头追老鼠,一直追过院子.然而,老鼠跑得比他快多了,从容地钻到墙洞里去了.
公牛一次又一次地猛撞墙壁,尽管头撞肿了,角撞裂了,老鼠却安然待在洞里.过了一会儿,公牛不撞了,倒下歇着.
公牛刚睡着,小老鼠就爬到洞口,嗒嗒地跑过院子,又咬了公牛一口 ? 这回咬了鼻子 ? 又跑回安全的地方去.当公牛毫无办法地吼叫时,老鼠吱吱叫道：
"大人物并不总占上风.有时小人物也会取胜."
男孩和荨麻(a boy and a nettle)
A boy was playing in the fields when he was stung by a nettle . He ran home to
tell his mother what had happened.
"I only touched it lightly," he said, "and the nasty thing stung me."
"It stung you because you only touched it lightly," his mother told him." Next time you touch a nettle grasp it as tightly as you can. Then it won't sting you at all."
Face danger boldly.
男孩和荨麻
有个男孩子在地里玩耍,被荨麻刺痛了.他跑回家去,告诉妈妈出了什么事.
"我不过轻轻地碰了它一下,"他说,"那讨厌的东西就把我刺痛了."
"你只轻轻地碰了它一下,所以它才刺痛你,"妈妈对他说,"下一回你再碰到荨麻,就尽量紧紧地抓住它.那它就根本不会刺痛你了."
要敢于面对危险.
鹦鹉和猫( a parrot and a cat)
A man once bought a brilliantly-coloured parrot. Instead of locking it up in a cage or chaining it to a perch, he allowed it to fly free all over the house. The parrot was delighted at this and flapped from room to room, shrieking and screaming with happiness. At last he settled on the edge of a rich curtain.
"Who on earth are you ?" said a cross voice from below. "Stop that terrible noise at once."
The parrot saw a cat staring up at him from the carpet.
"I 'm a parrot. I 've just arrived and I 'm to make as much noise as I can," he said.
"Well, I 've lived here all my life," replied the cat ."I was born in this very house and I learned from my mother that it is best to keep quiet here."
"Keep quiet then, "said the parrot cheerfully. "I don't know what you do around here, but I know my job. My master bought me for my voice and I'm going to make sure he hears it."
Different people are valued for different things.
鹦鹉和猫
从前,有人买了一只毛色鲜艳的鹦鹉.他没有把鹦鹉关在笼子里,也没有用链条把他拴在栖木上,而让他在家里自由自在地飞来飞去.鹦鹉对此非常高兴,扑动翅膀,从一间屋子飞到另一间屋子,愉快地尖声叫着,最后停在华丽的帷幔的边上.
"你到底是谁?"从下面传来怒气冲冲的说话声,"马上住嘴,别发出那难听的声音."
鹦鹉看见地毯上有一只猫抬头看着他.
"我是鹦鹉. 我刚到,我要使劲地吵吵."他说. "那你就一声不响吧,"鹦鹉欢快地说,"我不知道你在这儿干什么,可我知道我的活儿.主人为了我的声音才买我,我一定得让他听到."
不同的人因有不同的特点而受重视.
野猪和狐狸( A wild boar and a fox)
A wild boar was sharpening his tusks against a tree one day when a fox came by.
"What are you doing that for?" asked the fox . "There are no hunters around. Everything looks very peaceful to me ."
