A hound, roaming in the forest, spied a lion. He thought the lion might be a good prey1 and chased, thinking he would make a fine quarry2. Presently the lion perceived that he was being pursued, so, stopping short, he rounded on his pursuer and gave a loud roar. The hound immediately turned tail and fled. A fox, seeing him running away, jeered3 at him and said, "Ho! Ho! There goes the coward who chased a lion and ran away the moment the roared!"
One fine day in winter some ants were busy drying their store of corn, which had got rather damp during a long spell of rain. Presently1 up came a grasshopper2 and begged them to spare her a few grains, "For," she said, "Im simply starving." The ants stopped work for a moment, though this was against their principles. "May we ask," said they, "what you were doing with yourself all last summer? Why didnt you collect a store of food for the winter?" "The fact is," replied the grasshopper, "I was so busy singing that I hadnt the time." "If you spent the summer singing," replied the ants, "you cant do better than spend the winter dancing." And they chuckled3 and went on with their work.

One day the wind said to the sun, “Look at that man walking along the road. I can get his cloak off more quickly than you can.”
“We will see about that,” said the sun. “I will let you try first.”
So the wind tried to make the man take off his cloak. He blew and blew, but the man only pulled his cloak more closely around himself.
“I give up,” said the wind at last. “I cannot get his cloak off.” Then the sun tried. He shone as hard as he could. The man soon became hot and took off his cloak.

“you must not say that,” said big claus; “for only one of them belongs to you.” but little claus soon forgot what he ought to say, and when any one passed he would call out, “gee-up, my five horses!”
“now i must beg you not to say that again,” said big claus; “for if you do, i shall hit your horse on the head, so that he will drop dead on the spot, and there will be an end of him.”
“i promise you i will not say it any more,” said the other; but as soon as people came by, nodding to him, and wishing him “good day,” he became so pleased, and thought how grand it looked to have five horses ploughing in his field, that he cried out again, “gee-up, all my horses!”

In the forest， there is a bear and his mother.
One day， mother bear said to the bear， "son， you have grown up. You should go to the city to see what the house looks like in the city."
On the second day， the bear got up early and set off after breakfast.
When bear walked along the road， he raised his head high. "Oh！ No， no！ " The bear could not help crying. Originally， cubs found that the houses in the city were too many， colorful， and shapes were various.
"Why， where is the white cross on the roof？" Walking along， the bear came to the door of a black house. The sika deer hung a camera on its chest and warmly invited the bear to take a picture. Little bear was afraid to run and run， and muttered in his mouth： "the dark house is so scared."
The little bear is tired and wants to rest. He saw a green house in front of him. He thought， "this is probably the park. Ill go in and sit down for a while." As soon as the bear came into the door， he saw that the elephant in green clothes was busy receiving customers. He would knock on the postmark， hit the computer for a while， and write later.
The bear grasped the hair strangely. "Where have I been？"
Little boy， can you tell the bear where it has been in the city and where it has been？
