The Fox and the Woodcock The Fox and the Hare Once upon a time, in a certain forest, a hare built himself
3、a hut of bark, and a fox built himself one of ice, close to one another. The two neighbours Got on very well together, and often paid each other visits. But when the spring came the foxs hut melted away, while the hares stood as it was, and the fox said to the hare: “Mr. Hare, do let me come and get
4、 warm in your hut!” and the hare let him in, but no soonerhad he done so than the fox chased him out. So the hare went off, crying bitterly, when suddenly he met a wolf, and the wolf said to him: “What are you crying about, Mr. Hare?” “How can I help crying, Mr. Wolf!” answered the hare, “I had a hu
5、t of bark, and Mr. Fox had one of ice; his melted, and so he chased me out of mine, and settled in it!” “Well, dont cry, Mr. hare,” said the wolf,“Ill go and drive him out!” so he ran off to the hares hut and said to the fox: “Mr. Fox, come on out of it!” But the fox answered: “Youd better be carefu
6、l what youre about, for Ill tear you in shreds if I do come out!” and that frightened the wolf so much that he ran away as hard as he could. And the hare went on further, still crying, when he met a bear, and the bear saidto him: “What are you crying about,Mr.hare?” “How can I help crying, Bruin! an
7、swered the hare, “I uilt myself a hut of bark, and the fox built himself one of ice; his melted , and so he chased me out of mine and settled himself in it.” “Well, dont cry, Mr. hare,” said Bruin, “Ill go and give him s slap, and drive him out!” so he went to the hares hut and said to the fox: “Mr.
8、 Fox, come on out of it!” but the fox answered: “Youd better be careful what youre aout, for Ill tear you in shreds if I do come out!” and At that Bruin lost all his courage, and ran off so fast that he was out of sight before you had tiem to look. And the hare went on further, still crying and shed
9、ding bitter tears, when he met a cock, and the cock said to him: “what are you crying about, Mr. Hare?” “How can I help crying, Mr. Cock!” answered the hare, “I built myself a hut of bark, and the fox built himself on eof the ice; hismelted, and so he chased me out of mine and settled himself in it.
10、” “Well, dont cry, Mr. hare,” said the cock, “Ill help you out of your trouble1” so he went to the hares hut and started crowing in a loud voice: “Ive got a ig scythe that kills people dead, and with it Ill chop off the foxs head!”and the fox got such a fright that he ran off with his tail between h
11、is legs.And the hare was so happy, that he began beating the drum. And thats the end.Weve come to see you: please tell us a tale! THE KIDS AND THE WOLF Once upon a time a goat built a little hut in the forest, and brought up her family of kids in it and made it their home, when she had eaten all the
12、 grass near the hut, the goat had to go off to some meadows further away to find more, and then she would say to her kids: “Now ,children, you must shut the door very ,very tight, and dont open it to anyone, or else the wolf thats on the prowl here will come and eat you all up!” and when she had wal
13、ked far enough, and eaten her fill of green grass, the goat would come back to the hut and sing: “My little kids, my little dears, unbolted the door and open it wide! Your mothers come back and brought you some milk, to give food and drink to her little ones!” Then the kids would open the door to le
14、t bher in, and the goat would feed them with milk, and lie down to rest and have a sleep and the nthe next morning go off again to the meadows which were far away. No one day the gray wolf heard the goat singing to her children, and he thought: “Why shouldnt I try and make my way into their hut!” an
15、d when he had sniffed around and made sure that the mother-goat had gone off, he crept quietly up to the door and started singing: “My little kids, my little dears, unbolt the door and open it wide! Your mothers come back and brought you some milk, to give food and drink to her little ones!” but the
16、 kids heard that it wasnt their mothers voice, and they said: “No, we wont open the door, youre not our mother, but the gray wolf, and you want to eat us!” and the wolf stood there for some time, and at last had to go away with an empty stomach. And then the goat came and started singing: “My little
17、 kids, my little dears, unbolt the door and open it wide! Your mothers come back and brought you some milk, to give food and drink to her little ones!” and they said directly: “There , thats our mother, well open the door for her!” so they opened the door, and told her all that had happened.Meanwhil
18、e the wolf was wandering about the forest and thinking : “Well now, whod have thought those kids are so clever! They must have told by the voice that it was I, the gray wolf, at their door!” so he went off to the smith, and the smoth forged him a very fine piping voice like the goats. and he came ba
19、ck again to the goats hut and started singing: “My little kids, my little dear, unbolt the door and open it wide! Your mothers come back, and brought you some milk, to give food and drink to her little ones!” and the kids thought it was their mother that had come back, and opened the door to the wol
20、f, and he ate them all up.THE SPARROW AND THE BLADE OF GRASSA sparrow once perched on a balde of grass and said to it: “Give me a swing, blade of grass.” But the blade of grass answered: “No, I wont!” so the sparrow flew off to the goat, and said to hom: “Mr. Goat, Mr. Goat! Go and eat the blade of
21、grass, because it wont give me a swing.” But the goat answered: “No, I wont” so the sparrow flew off to the wolf, and said to him: “Mr. Wolf, go and eat the goat! Because he wont go and eat the blade of grass, and the blade of grass wont give me a swing.” But the wolf answered: “No, I wont.” so the
22、sparrow flew off to a man, and said to him: “Mr. man, go and kill the wolf! Because he wont go and eat the goat, and the goat wont go and eat the blade of grass, and the blade of grass wont give me a swing.” But the man answered: “No, I wont!” so the sparrow flew off to the fire, and said to it: “Fi
23、re, fire, go and burn the man! Because he wont go and kill the wolf, and the wolf wont go and eat the blade of grass wont give me a swing.” But the fire answered: “No, I wont.” so the sparrow flew off to the watr, and said to it: “Water, water, go and burn the man, and the man wont go and kill the w
24、olf, andThe wolf wont go and ea t the goat, and the goat wont go and eat the blade of grass, and the blade of grass wont give me a swing.” But the water anwered: “No, I wont!”So the sparrow flew off to the oxen, and said to them: “Oxen, oxen, go and drink up the water! Because it wont go and put out
25、 the fire, and the fire wont go and kill the wolf, and the wolf wont go and eat the goat, and the goat wont go and eat the the blade of the grass, and the blade of grass wont give me a swing.”Then the oxen went off to drink the water, and the water went off to put out the fire, and the fire went off
26、 to burn the man, and the man went off to kill the wolf, and the wolf went to eat the goat, and the goat went off to eat the blade of the grass, and the blade of grass got a terrible fright and SAID TO THE SPARROW: “Sit down, Ill give you a swing.”so the blade of grass started swinging the sparrow a

Ill give you a fine treat!” so the crane went t osee the fox in the forest. And the fox had boiled some po
30、rridge and spread it out on a plate, and said to the crane: “Come and eat, cousnin, this porridge is delicious! Come and have some, and dont be shy!” and the crane began to peck at theplate,and went on pecking, but could get hold of nothing. Meanwhile the fox was licking away with his tongue, and al
31、l the time kept asking the crane t oeat. At last the fox ate it all up and the crane had nothing at all. And the fox sat there, having eaten his fill, and licking His chops, and said: “You mustnt blame me, cousin, if you havent had enough. I could only give you what I had,and you were welcome to tha
32、t. I hsdnt time to boil or to bake antthing else.” And the crane answered； “Nevermind, cousin, many thanks for yoru kindness! Later on you must come come and see me in my marsh. One good meal deserves another!” so after a while the fox went to see the crane. And The crane had boiled some fish-soup a
33、nd had poured it into a jar with a long narrow neck, and he said: “Please come and begin, cousin! This fish-soup is simply lovely! And the fox started walking round the jar, and he could smell how good it smelt. He gave a lick here and a lick there, but couldnt get any further. Meanwhile the crane w
34、as pecking away with his beak as hard as he could, and ate up all the fish-soup.Then he said: “well，and Ive enough this time! And I hope you have too, cousin? If you didnt eat much, you must come again another time, but you mustnt blame me today, I couldnt boil or bake anything else!” And so ever si
35、nce then they have not been such good friends as they were.THE PEASANT AND THE HAREOne day a peasant was walking along through the fields when he saw a hare, and he said to himself； “Ill crawl up to him and catch him! Then Ill sell him and buy a little pig. Then the little pig will grow into a big p
36、ig, and will have lots of other little pigs. Then I shall sell the little pigs and buy a cow. Then the cow will have calves. Then I shall sell the calves and shall build myself a new hut, and shall marry a wife to look after it! Wont that be nice!” And he made such a noise, that the hare took fright
37、 and ran off into the forest as hard as it could go.To ask, I knows considered rude, But I wouldnt say no to a bit of food!THE FOX, THE COCK, AND THE CRANEOne day a fox made its way into a peasants farmyard, and was just going to catch one of the fowls and eat it, when a cock saw him, flew up on to
38、the fence, and began waving his wings and crowing as loud as he could. The peasant and his wife heard him and rushed out to chase away the fox with whatever came first to their hands, and the fox saw them and ran off at full speed into the forest. The peasant and his wife heard him and rushed out to
39、 chase away the fox with whatever came first to their hands; and the fox saw them and ran off at full speed into the forest. Presently the cock went out to walk about in the fields, when all of a sudden whom should he meet but the fox, and in a Second the fox had caught him, and said； “Mr. Cock, why
40、 didnt you let me have a meal at your masters expense? As a punishment Im now going to eat you!” “Oh, Mr. Fox, Mr. Fox, dont eat me1 if you come to our farmyard again Ill keep qeiet, if only youll let me go now!” so the fox loosened his hold and the cock flew up on to the tree, and shook out his fea
41、thers and said : “Now, Mr. Fox, mind you do pay us another visit! The first time you got off with your life, the next time you shanllnot get off at all” And at that the fox grew very angry, and made off. And he was going along through th fields when he met a crane, and the crane asked him； “What mak
42、es you look so sad, Mr. Fox? What are you worrying about?” “Ive got good cause t o worry,answered the fox, “ a cock has just played a trick on me, and flew up on a tree, and I cannt get at him. “well, Mr. Fox,said the crane, “do you know how to fly? Shall I teach you? “ Oh do! Mr. crane，” answered t
43、he fox, “do be kind and teach me!” “ Very well, just climb on my back!” said the crane. So the fox climbed on to the cranes back, and the crane flew up high, and when he was very high up he shook the fox off his back. And the fox fell down ,and there he lay, more dead than alive. “Well, Mr. Fox,” as
