一、狮子头上的老鼠
The ray of the warm sunlight told us that it was spring. A lion was
sleeping peacefully in the forest.
While the lion was fast asleep, a mouse went on top of the lion. The
bold mouse played happily on top of the lion. "Yuppie! This is really fun."
The mouse ran around thumping and stomping here and there.
The lion was not able to sleep with all the racket. The lion knew that
there was someone on top of him. So, the lion made a surprise attack and
rolled on the ground.
And the mouse fell over. When the lion saw the mouse he was
relieved and said, "Whew! It was only a mouse."
However, far away a fox had seen the scene. The fox laughed
mockingly to the lion and said, "You're as big as a mountain and you're
afraid of the mouse. You're a coward!" The fox kept making fun of the
Lion.
Finally the lion spoke, "I wasn't afraid of the mouse. I was only
shocked to find a bold enough animal not afraid to run around on top of a
lion." When the fox heard this he quietly left.

二、猴子和渔民
Once upon a time, there lived a monkey in the woods. The monkey
climbed up the tree and looked down at the river everyday.
One day, the monkey saw fishermen throw a net over the river. He
watched how the fishermen caught fish.
Sometime after, the fishermen left the net and went to have lunch.
Then, the monkey climbed down from the tree and went to the riverside.
The monkey was planning to throw the net like the fishermen did.
The monkey was confident since he was good at imitating. Yet, the
net wound around the monkey when he touched it. Tied up in the net, the
monkey fell into the water.
The monkey regretted his behavior, but it was too late. "I should have
learned how to use the net before touching it. After believing my prowess
and showing off, I am in a bad fix." The monkey who did not behave
carefully drowned in the water.

三、朋友与熊
Once upon a time, two young men were walking along the mountain
trail. They were very close friends.
But, all of a sudden, a bear showed up. Shocked, the young men were
looking for a place to hide. One fellow hid himself by climbing up a tree,
but the other one was unable to run away.
When the bear pounced upon him, the fellow who could not run
away threw himself flat down upon the ground and pretended to be dead.
The young man on the ground held his breath and stayed still. The bear,
coming up to him, put his muzzle close to the man, and sniffed. "He's
dead. I don't eat dead meat."
The bear left the young man along and went away. After the bear was
gone, the friend in the tree came down. Wiping away his cold sweat, the
friend asked, "What did the bear say to you?"
"Oh, the bear told me", said the other, "Not to hang out with a friend
who runs away when a risky situation occurs."
After hearing him, the young man who climbed up the tree alone felt
sorry for his behavior. Friends mean being there for each other even
when danger comes.
