1、A Coach and His Players
I was the new coach of a Little League baseball team and had not yet learned the names of my players. At our first game, I called each boy by the number on his uniform. When I yelled,"Number5, your time to bat, " Jeff Smith came to the plate to hit. When I called for "Number 7", Steve Heinz jumped up. Then I asked for "Number 1", and no one emerged from the gout. Again I called for Number 1. Still no one.
As the umpire looked on, annoyed at this delay of the game, I shouted, "Who is Number 1?"
That\'s when the whole team yelled, "We are, Coach! We are!
教练与他的队员
我初到一小团体棒球队作教练，还不知道队员的名字。在第一次比赛中，我按照每一名队员球衣的号数来指挥。当我大声喊到：“5号，你该击球了。”杰夫·史密斯到本垒击球。当我叫到“7号”时，史迪夫·汉斯就跳起来。然后我叫到“1号”，却没人从隐蔽壕里跳出来。我又叫了一遍1号。还是没人跳出来。
因为裁判在旁观看，我很生气这支球队的懒散，大声吼道：“谁是1号（第一）？”
这时全体队员大喊道；“是我们，教练！我们是！”教练与他的队员

Beth: So Anna, do you have any plans for July 4th?

Beth: That sounds fun. What are you going to do there?
Anna: We are going to camp, old fashioned style with, um, a big fire and roast marshmallows. And then the next day we\'re going to go sea kayaking, which I\'ve never done.
Beth: Oh, that must be amazing. I bet it\'ll be just beautiful.
Anna: Have you ever sea kayaked?
Beth: I\'ve wanted to go up to the San Juans, but I haven\'t had an opportunity to.
Anna: Yeah, I haven\'t and I\'m kind of worried after rowing all day that I might get tired, but I think the views will be worth it.
Beth: Oh, you\'ll do great. Do you think it\'s going to be crowded since it is a holiday weekend.
Anna: Oh, I\'m sure it will but, at the campsite you have to reserve a spot, so I don\'t think you can get any more people than is already a full campground. But, that\'s part of 4th of July I think, just a lot of people running around, kids and fireworks and watermelon

The Cock and the Pearl
A cock was once strutting up and down the farmyard among the hens when suddenly he espied something shinning amid the straw.
"Ho! ho!" quoth he, "that's for me," and soon rooted it out from beneath the straw. What did it turn out to be but a Pearl that by some chance had been lost in the yard?
"You may be a treasure," quoth Master Cock, "to men that prize you, but for me I would rather have a single barley-corn than a peck of pearls."
Precious things are for those that can prize them.

The Miser, on his next visit, found the hole empty and began to tear his hair and to make loud lamentations. A neighbor, seeing him overe with grief and learning the cause, said, "Pray do not grieve so; but go and take a stone, and place it in the hole, and fancy that the gold is still lying there. It will do you quite the same service; for when the gold was there, you had it not, as you did not make the slightest use of it."

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 him.

"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。于是他跑到上游，恶狠狠地说小羊把河水搅浑浊了，使他喝不到清水。小羊回答说，他仅仅站在河边喝水，并且又在下游，根本不可能把上游的水搅浑。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。

The Mouse, recognizing his roar, came and gnawed the rope with his teeth and set him free, exclaiming:
