英文寓言故事1
Zhuang Zhou's family was poor. Once, he went to the official who supervised1 rivers to borrow some grain. The official said: "Well, wait until the end of the year when I collect the taxes from the people, then I will lend you 300 gold pieces. All right?"
When Zhuang Zhou heard this, he was so angry that the colow of his face changed. But he told the official this story: When I came here yesterday, on the way I heard a voice calling 'Help!' I turned my head and saw a small crucian carp in the dried-up carriage ditch2."
I went over and asked: "Little crucian carp, why are you calling for help?"
The little crucian carp answered: "I am a subject of the Dragon King of the East China Sea. Unfortunately I fell down here. Can you give me a little water to save my life?"
I said: "All right, I am just going to the south to sell ideas to the kings of the States of Wu and Yue. I will ask them to stir3 up the water of the Xijiang River to welcome you. Will that do?"
When the crucian carp heard this, it got angry and said: "When I lose the water which is always with me, I cannot survive. Now, I want only a little bit of water so that I can survive.Yet you say such things. Then you'd better go to the salt-fish shop to look for me."

我走過去,問它: “小娜魚,你為什么喊救命?”
小鯉魚回答說:“我是東海龍王的臣子,不幸落到這里。您能夠給我一些水來救我活命嗎?”
我說:“好吧!我正好要去南方游說吳國和越國的國王,那我就請他們激起西江的大水來迎接您,可以嗎?”
卿魚聽了,氣得不得了,說:“我失去了常跟我在一起的水,就無法生存下去了?,F(xiàn)在,我只要得到一些水,就能夠生存下去;你卻說出這樣的話。好吧,你不如趁早到咸魚店里去找我吧!

So they set a rule that every one would draw a snake on the ground and the man who finished first would have the wine.

Making His Mark
刻舟求劍
A man from the state of Chu was taking a boat across a river when he dropped his sword into the water carelessly. Immediately he made a mark on the side of the boat where the sword dropped, hoping to find it later. When the boat stopped moving, he went into the water to search for his sword at the place where he had marked the boat. As we know, the boat had moved but the sword had not. Isn't this a very foolish way to look for a sword?
