When they had done so, he placed the faggot into the hands of each of them in succession, and ordered them to break it in pieces. They each tried with all their strength, and were not able to do it。

　　父親和孩子們

　　一位父親有幾個孩子，這些孩子時常發(fā)生口角。他絲毫沒有辦法來勸阻他們，只好讓他們看看不合群所帶來害處的例子。為了達到這個目的，有一天他叫他們替他拿一捆細柴來。當他們把柴帶來時，他便先后地將那捆柴放在每一個孩子的手中，吩咐他們弄斷這捆柴。他們一個個盡力去試，總是不能成功。

　　He next unclosed the faggot, and took the sticks separately, one by one, and again put them into their hands, on which they broke them easily. He then addressed them in these words: "My sons, if you are of one mind, and unite to assist each other, you will be as this faggot, uninjured by all the attempts of your enemies; but if you are divided among yourselves, you will be broken as easily as these sticks."

　　然后他解開那捆柴，一根根地放在他們手里，如此一來，他們便毫不費力地折斷了。于是他就告訴他們說：“孩子們!如果你們大家團結(jié)一致，互相幫助，你們就像這捆柴一樣，不能被你們的敵人折斷;但如果你們自行分裂，你們就將和這些散柴一般，不堪一折了。”

　　一只狼瞧見一只迷路失群的小羊，決定暫緩下毒手，想先找一些理由，對小羊證明自己有吃它的權(quán)利。它就說：“小鬼!你去年曾經(jīng)罵過我。”小羊可憐地說：“老實說，我去年還沒有出生呢。”狼再說：“你在我的草地上吃過草。”

　　"No, good sir," replied the Lamb, "I have not yet tasted grass." Again said the Wolf, "You drink of my well." "No," exclaimed the Lamb, "I never yet drank water, for as yet my mother′s milk is both food and drink to me." On which the Wolf seized him, and ate him up, saying, "Well! I won′t remain supperless, even though you refute every one of my imputations."The tyrant will always find a pretext for his tyranny。

　　小羊回答說：“不，好先生，我還未曾嘗過草的味道呢。”狼又說：“你喝過我井里的水。”小羊叫道：“不，我從沒有喝過水，因為直到今天為止，我都是吃著母親的奶汁。”狼一聽這話，便抓住它，把它吃下去，便說：“好!即使你駁倒我每一句話，我終究要吃晚餐的!”暴君總有他暴行的借口。

　　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 up, and gnawed the rope with his teeth, and setting him free, exclaimed: "You ridiculed the idea of my ever being able to help you, not expecting to receive from me any repayment of your favour; but now you know that it is possible for even a Mouse to confer benefits on a Lion."

　　后來獅子被幾個獵人捉住，用粗繩捆綁倒在地上。老鼠聽出是獅子的吼聲，走來用牙齒咬斷繩索，釋放了牠，并大聲說：“你當時嘲笑我想幫你的忙，而且也不指望我有什么機會報答。但是你現(xiàn)在知道了，就算是小老鼠，也能向獅子效勞的。”
