The Ugly Ducking（丑小鸭）
One lovely summer in the country, Mother Duck sat on her nest.She had been waiting for her eggs to hatch for a long time.Finally one egg began to crack.And then another.From each shell came a tiny golden creature crying,”Peep!Peep!” Soon all the eggs were hatched,except one.
At last the largest egg hatched.A young bird peeked out,crying “Peep!Peep!”like the others.But this ducking was gray and quite larger,and very ugly.
Mother Duck stared at her new baby.”You are not like my other ducklings,”she said,”I wonder if you are really my turkey,and not a duckling at all?”
She took her ducklings to the riverbank to practice their swimming.Mother Duck watched her largest baby,because it is well known that turkeys cannot swim.
All the ducklings jumped fearlessly into the river,Even the ugly duckling swam gracefully.thought Mother Duck:”He is not a turkey at all.”
Mother Ducj brought her family to live on the nearby farm,but the ugly duckling was very unhappy there.All the other ducks picked on him,calling him names and stealing his food.Even the chickens laughed at the ugly duckling,and one turkey pecked at him in a most vicious way. The poor duckling decided he must run away.”There is no home for an ugly duckling,”he said miserably.He closed his eyes and waddled away.
Through the winter he almost starved and nearly froze.Then,one day the warm spring came,The duckling tested his wings and found that they were strong.He dlew,landing by chance in a beautiful garden with a very clear pond.And in the pond were three beautiful white swans.
The duckling swam toward the beautiful swans,though he knew they would laugh and tell him to go away.”I’d just like to see them,if only for a moment,”thought the ugly duckling.
But the swans did not laugh or tell him go away.The swans stroked his neck and welcomed him.The duckling happened to glance down at the watermwhere he saw his own reflection.He was no longer a gray,ugly bird.He had grown up tp be a beautiful white swan!

Little Red Riding Hood（小红帽）
Charles Perrault
Once upon a time there lived in a certain village a little country girl, the prettiest creature who was ever seen. Her mother was excessively fond of her; and her grandmother doted on her still more. This good woman had a little red riding hood made for her. It suited the girl so extremely well that everybody called her Little Red Riding Hood.
One day her mother, having made some cakes, said to her, "Go, my dear, and see how your grandmother is doing, for I hear she has been very ill. Take her a cake, and this little pot of butter."

Little Red Riding Hood set out immediately to go to her grandmother, who lived in another village.

As she was going through the wood, she met with a wolf, who had a very great mind to eat her up, but he dared not, because of some woodcutters working nearby in the forest. He asked her where she was going. The poor child, who did not know that it was dangerous to stay and talk to a wolf, said to him, "I am going to see my grandmother and carry her a cake and a little pot of butter from my mother."

"Does she live far off?" said the wolf

"Oh I say," answered Little Red Riding Hood; "it is beyond that mill you see there, at the first house in the village."

"Well," said the wolf, "and I'll go and see her too. I'll go this way and go you that, and we shall see who will be there first."

The wolf ran as fast as he could, taking the shortest path, and the little girl took a roundabout way, entertaining herself by gathering nuts, running after butterflies, and gathering bouquets of little flowers. It was not long before the wolf arrived at the old woman's house. He knocked at the door: tap, tap.

"Who's there?"

"Your grandchild, Little Red Riding Hood," replied the wolf, counterfeiting her voice; "who has brought you a cake and a little pot of butter sent you by mother."

The good grandmother, who was in bed, because she was somewhat ill, cried out, "Pull the bobbin, and the latch will go up."

The wolf pulled the bobbin, and the door opened, and then he immediately fell upon the good woman and ate her up in a moment, for it been more than three days since he had eaten. He then shut the door and got into the grandmother's bed, expecting Little Red Riding Hood, who came some time afterwards and knocked at the door: tap, tap.

"Who's there?"

Little Red Riding Hood, hearing the big voice of the wolf, was at first afraid; but believing her grandmother had a cold and was hoarse, answered, "It is your grandchild Little Red Riding Hood, who has brought you a cake and a little pot of butter mother sends you."

The wolf cried out to her, softening his voice as much as he could, "Pull the bobbin, and the latch will go up."

Little Red Riding Hood pulled the bobbin, and the door opened.

The wolf, seeing her come in, said to her, hiding himself under the bedclothes, "Put the cake and the little pot of butter upon the stool, and come get into bed with me."

Little Red Riding Hood took off her clothes and got into bed. She was greatly amazed to see how her grandmother looked in her nightclothes, and said to her, "Grandmother, what big arms you have!"

"All the better to hug you with, my dear."

"Grandmother, what big legs you have!"

"All the better to run with, my child."

"Grandmother, what big ears you have!"

"All the better to hear with, my child."

"Grandmother, what big eyes you have!"

"All the better to see with, my child."

"Grandmother, what big teeth you have got!"

"All the better to eat you up with."

And, saying these words, this wicked wolf fell upon Little Red Riding Hood, and ate her all up.

The Raven and the Swan乌鸦和天鹅

A RAVEN saw a Swan and desired to secure for himself the same beautiful plumage. Supposing 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 pools. But cleansing his feathers as often as he would, he could not change their color, while through want of food he perished.

Change 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。
