same beautiful ing that the Swan's splendid

white color arose from his washing in the water in which he swam,

the Raven left the altars in the neighborhood where he picked up

his living, and took up residence in the lakes and

cleansing his feathers as often as he would, he could not change

their color, while through want of food he of

habit cannot alter Nature.乌鸦非常羡慕天鹅洁白的羽毛。他猜想天

鹅一定是经常洗澡，羽毛才变得如此洁白无 瑕。于是，他毅然离开了

他赖以生存的祭坛，来到江湖边。他天天洗刷自己的羽毛，不但一 点

都没洗白，反而因缺少食物饥饿而死。

这故事是说，人的本性不会随着生活方式的改变而改变。

The Wolf and the Lamb 狼与小羊

WOLF, meeting with a Lamb astray from the fold, resolved

not to lay violent hands on him, but to find some plea to justify

to the Lamb the Wolf's right to eat thus addressed

him:“Sirrah, last year you grossly insulted me.” “Indeed,”

bleated the

Lamb in a mournful tone of voice, “I was not then born.”

Then said the Wolf , “You feed in my pasture.” “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.” Upon 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.一只小羊

在河边喝水，狼见到后，便想找一个名正言顺的借口吃掉他。于是他

水搅浑。狼见此计不成，又说道：“我父亲去年被你骂过。”小羊说，

那时他还没有出生。狼对他说：“不管你怎样辩解，反正我不会放过

你。”

这说明，对恶人做任何正当的辩解也是无效的。
