9.The Father and His Sons
父亲与争吵的儿子们

A FATHER had a family of sons who were perpetually quarreling  among themselves. When he failed to heal their disputes by his  exhortations, he determined to give them a practical illustration  of the evils of disunion; and for this purpose he one day told  them to bring him a bundle of sticks. When they had done so, he  placed the faggot into the hands of each of them in succession,  and ordered them to break it in pieces. They tried with all their   strength, and were not able to do it. He next opened the faggot,   took the sticks separately, one by one, and again put them into his  sons' hands, upon which they broke them easily. He then addressed  them in these words: "My sons, if you are of one mind, and unite   to assist each other, you will be as this faggot, uninjured by all the   attempts of your enemies; but if you are divided among yourselves  , you will be broken as easily as these sticks."   

有个父亲的儿子们常常互相争斗不休。他多次语重心长地劝说他们，尽管他苦口婆心，仍无济于事。他认为应该用事实来教育他们，便叫儿子们去拿一捆木棒来。木棒拿来后，他先把整捆木棒交给他们，叫他们折断。儿子们一个个竭尽了全力都无法将它折断。随后他解开了那捆木棒，给他们每人一根。他们都毫不费力地将木棒折为两段。这时，父亲说：“孩子们，你们要像木棒一样，团结一致，齐心协力，就不会被敌人征服；可你们互相争斗不休，便很容易被敌人打垮。”
这故事说明，团结就是不可征服的力量，而内讧却只能耗损自己。

10.The Charcoal-Burner and the Fuller
烧炭人与漂布人
  
A CHARCOAL-BURNER carried on his trade in his own house.   One day he met a friend, a Fuller, and entreated him to come and   live with him, saying that they should be far better neighbors and  that their housekeeping expenses would be lessened. The Fuller  replied, "The arrangement is impossible as far as I am concerned,  for whatever I should whiten, you would immediately blacken again  with your charcoal."  Like will draw like.
烧炭人在一所房子里干活，看见有一个漂布人搬迁到他的旁边来住时，满怀高兴地走上去劝他与自己同住，并解释说这样彼此更亲密，更方便，还更省钱。漂布人却回答说：“也许你说的是真话，但完全不可能办到，因为凡我所漂白的，都将被你弄黑。” 这故事说明，不同类的人难相处。
11.西游记英文版:闹蟠桃会  
                           Chaos at the Feast of Peaches
One day， the Jade Emperor invited Monkey Sun， the GREat Sage Equalling Heaven， to Heaven， and asked him to administer the Peach Orchard. The Great Sage was overjoyed because anyone who ate the ripened peaches became eternal， living as long as Heaven and Earth. Everyday he picked the best peaches to enjoy， and after he had his fill， he shrunk himself to only two inches long and slept on the branch of a tree. One day the Queen Mother arranged a banquet of peaches by the Jade Pool. When the fairies sent by her were picking peaches in the Peach Orchard， the Great Sage awoke and was annoyed to discover he was not invited to the feast. He spoke a magic spell which immobilized fairies， then he went straight to the Jade Pool where he saw rare fruits and fine delicacies and smelt the fragrance of jade liquor. He performed a spell by bulling several hairs from his body and chewing them up， the hairs turned into sleep-inducing insects which then bit all the busy serants， causing them to fall asleep. Then the Great Sage ate rare delicacies and drank precious wines until he was completely full. He put the leftovers in a big bag for the small monkeys on the Mountain of Flowers and Fruit. After this， he went to the place where Lord Lao Zi kept the elixir. The Great Sage ate up all the golden pills of elixir in the precious gourd， then he rushed out of the Gate of Heaven and went straight down to the Mountain of Flowers and Fruit.
