孩子们排队等着让当地一位艺术家给他们的脸颊画上虎爪。

“你的雀斑太多了，没地方画了！”队列里的一个男孩大叫道。

Embarrassed, the little girl dropped her head

Her grandmother knelt down next to her "I love your freckles," she said

"Not me," the girl replied

“可我不喜欢，”女孩说。

"Well, when I was a little girl, I always wanted freckles," she said, tracing（划过） her finger across the child's cheek "Freckles are beautiful!"

“嗯，当我还是个小女孩的时候，我总是想长雀斑，”她说着用手指抚摸着孩子的脸颊。“雀斑真漂亮！”

The girl looked up "Really"

女孩抬起头来。“真的吗？”

"Of course," said the grandmother "Why, just name me one thing that's prettier than freckles"

老奶奶说：“当然了！嘿，你能告诉我一个比雀斑更漂亮的东西不。”

小女孩凝视着老奶奶的笑脸。

"Wrinkles," she answered softly

“皱纹，”她轻声回答道。

A man was going to the house of some rich person As he went along the road, he saw a box of good apples at the side of the road He said, "I do not want to eat those apples; for the rich man will give me much food; he will give me very nice food to eat" Then he took the apples and threw them away into the dust

He went on and came to a river The river had become very big; so he could not go over it He waited for some time; then he said, "I cannot go to the rich man's house today, for I cannot get over the river"

He began to go home He had eaten no food that day He began to want food He came to the apples, and he was glad to take them out of the dust and eat them

Do not throw good things away; you may be glad to have them at some other time

译文

一个人正朝着一个富人的房子走去，当他沿着路走时，在路的一边他发现一箱好苹果，他说：“我不打算吃那些苹果，因为富人会给我更多的食物，他会给我很好吃的东西。”然后他拿起苹果，一把扔到土里去。

他继续走，来到河边，河涨水了，因此，他到不了河对岸，他等了一会儿，然后他说：“今天我去不了富人家了，因为我不能渡过河。”

他开始回家，那天他没有吃东西。他就开始去找吃的，他找到苹果，很高兴地把它们从尘土中翻出来吃了。

不要把好东西扔掉，换个时候你会觉得它们大有用处。

城里老鼠和乡下老鼠

从前，有两只老鼠，它们是好朋友。一只老鼠居住在乡村，另一只住在城里。很多年以后，乡下老鼠碰到城里老鼠，它说：“你一定要来我乡下的家看看。”于是，城里老鼠就去了。乡下老鼠领着它到了一块田地上它自己的家里。它把所有最精美食物都找出来给城里老鼠。城里老鼠说：“这东西不好吃，你的家也不好，你为什么住在田野的地洞里呢？你应该搬到城里去住，你能住上用石头造的漂亮房子，还会吃上美味佳肴，你应该到我城里的家看看。”

乡下老鼠就到城里老鼠的家去。房子十分漂亮，好吃的东西也为他们摆好了。可是正当他们要开始吃的时候，听见很大的一阵响声，城里的老鼠叫喊起来：“快跑！快跑！猫来了！”他们飞快地跑开躲藏起来。

过了一会儿，他们出来了。当他们出来时，乡下老鼠说：“我不喜欢住在城里，我喜欢住在田野我的洞里。因为这样虽然贫穷但是快乐自在，比起虽然富有却要过着提心吊胆的生活来说，要好些。”

Once in a while, right in the middle of an ordinary life, love gives us a fairy tale

一天夜里，男孩骑摩托车带着女孩超速行驶，

他们彼此深爱着对方，

女孩：“慢一点我怕”

男孩：“不，这样很有趣”

女孩：“求求你这样太吓人了”

男孩：“好吧，那你说你爱我”

女孩：“好我爱你你现在可以慢下来了吗？”

男孩：“紧紧抱我一下”

女孩紧紧拥抱了他一下，女孩：“现在你可以慢下来了吧？”

男孩：“你可以脱下我的头盔并自己戴上吗？它让我感到不舒服，还干扰我驾 车。”

第二天，报纸报道：一辆摩托车因为刹车失灵而撞毁在一幢建筑物上，车上有两个人，一个死亡，一个幸存

驾车的男孩知道刹车失灵，但他没有让女孩知道，因为那样会让女孩感到害怕。

相反，他让女孩最后一次说她爱他，最后一次拥抱他，并让她戴上自己的头盔，结果，女孩活着，他自己死了

就在一会的时间里，就在平常的生活里，爱向我们展示了一个神话
