The Boy and the Nuts
男孩和堅果
A glass jar half full of nuts stood on a table.Albert,who was very fond of nuts,saw it.He climbed up on the table and thrust his hand into the jar,grasping a whole handful.He tried to pull his hand out.The mouth of the jar was too narrow for his fist.
裝有一半堅果的一個玻璃壇子在桌子上.阿爾伯特看到了,他是非常非常喜歡堅果的.他爬上桌子上把他的手插進壇子里,抓了一大堆堅果.他試著把他的手拉出來.對于他的拳頭來說該壇子的口過于狹窄了.
He pulled and pulled and became very angry at the jar,but it was of no use.
At last he began to scream and cry.His mother hurried into the room to find out what was the matter with him.
他拉了又拉,并很生氣那個壇子,但沒有用.最后,他開始尖叫和哭泣.他的母親匆匆的走進房間,看他是出了什么事.
"What hurts you,Albert?" she asked.
“什么東西傷到你了,阿爾貝?”她問.
"This old jar will not let me have this handful of nuts," cried Albert.
“這老罐子不讓我擁有這一把堅果,” 阿爾伯特哭著說.
His mother laughed when she saw the cause of all his trouble.
他的母親笑了,當她看到了他所有麻煩的原因.
"Do you wish so many nuts?" she asked."Try taking out a few at a time."
“你想要這么多的堅果嗎?” 她問.“嘗試一次只取一些.”
Albert did as his mother told him to do,and found that he could easily get the nuts.
阿爾貝特照他母親所說的做,然后發(fā)現(xiàn)自己可以輕松地獲得堅果.
"When you get into trouble again,my son,stop and think of a way out,instead of screaming," said his mother.
“當你遇到麻煩時,兒子,靜下心來思考出路,而不是尖叫,” 他的母親說.兩分鐘耶，這么點1分鐘就說完了，我還在考慮要不要加長點呢，我在找找~————————A lion was awakened from sleep by a Mouse running over his face. Rising up angrily, he caught him and was about to kill him, when the Mouse piteously entreated, saying: "If you would only spare my life, I would be sure to repay your kindness." The Lion laughed and let him go. It happened shortly after this that the Lion was caught by some hunters, who bound him by strong ropes to the ground. The Mouse, recognizing his roar, came and gnawed the rope with his teeth and set him free, exclaiming: "You ridiculed the idea of my ever being able to help you, expecting to receive from me any repayment of your favor; now you know that it is possible for even a Mouse to con benefits on a Lion." 獅子睡著了，有只老鼠跳到了他身上。獅子猛然站起來，把他抓住，準備吃掉。老鼠請求饒命，并說如果保住性命，必將報恩，獅子輕蔑地笑了笑，便把他放走了。不久，獅子真的被老鼠救了性命。原來獅子被一個獵人抓獲，并用繩索把他捆在一棵樹上。老鼠聽到了他 的哀嚎，走過去咬斷繩索，放走了獅子，并說： “你當時嘲笑我，不相信能得到我的報答， 現(xiàn)在可清楚了，老鼠也能報恩?！?這故事說明，時運交替變更，強者也會有需要弱者的時候。
