The Old Cat
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."
【譯文】
老貓
一位老婦有隻貓，這隻貓很老，它跑不快了，也咬不了東西，因爲它年紀太大了。一天，老貓發現一隻老鼠，它跳過去抓這隻老鼠，然而，它咬不住這隻老鼠。因此，老鼠從它的嘴邊溜掉了，因爲老貓咬不了它。
於是，老婦很生氣，因爲老貓沒有把老鼠咬死。她開始打這隻貓，貓說：“不要打你的老僕人，我已經爲你服務了很多年，而且還願意爲你效勞，但是，我實在太老了，對年紀大的不要這麼無情，要記住老年人在年青時所做過的有益的事情。”
Sun the Ice
Once a simpleton's wife told him to buy some ice.
Two hours later, he didn't come back. She wanted to know why he didn't come back and went out to have a look. She saw he was standing in the sun at the gate and watching the ice melting.
"What's the matter?" She asked him. "Why don't you bring it in?"
"I saw the ice was wet and I was afraid that you would scold me so I'm running it dry." The simpleton answered.
曬冰
從前有一個笨人的妻子讓她的丈夫買幾塊冰。
兩個小時後，他還沒回來。
她想知道他爲什麼沒回來，就出去看了看，發現她的丈夫在門口站着，在太陽下曬冰，看着冰融化。
她問他："怎麼啦?你爲什麼不把它拿進來?"
"我看見冰是溼的，恐怕你會訓斥我，因此，我正在把它曬乾。"笨人回答道。
