The Tortoise and the Hare
录制于2004年8月

   1. A hare once made fun of a tortoise. "What a slow way you have!" he said. "How you creep along!"

   "Do I?"  said the tortoise. "Try a race with me and I'll beat you."

   "What a boaster you are!" said the hare. " But come! I will race with you. Whom shall we ask to mark off the finish line and see that the race is fair?"

   " Let us ask the fox." said the tortoise.

   2. The fox was very wise and fair. He showed them where they were to start, and how far they were to run.

   The tortoise lost no time. He started out at once and jogged straight on.

   3. The hare leaped along swiftly for a few minutes till he had left the tortoise far behind. He knew he could reach the mark very quickly, so he lay down by the road under a shady tree and took a nap.

   By and by he woke and remembered the race. He sprang up and ran as fast as he could. But when he reached the mark, the tortoise was already there!

   4. "Slow and steady wins the race,"said the fox.

The Lion And The Mouse Once when a lion was asleepa little mouse began running up and down upon him; this soon wakened the lion, who placed his huge paw wpon him, and opened his big jaws to swallow him. &ldquo

ardon, O king.”crued the little mouse:”forgive me this time, I shall never forget it: who knows but what I may be able to do you a turn some of these days?” the lion was so tickled at the idea of the mouse behind able to help him, that he lifted up his paw and let him go. Some time after the lion was caught in a trap, and the hunters who desired to carry him alive to the king, tied him to a tree while they went in search of a sack to carryhim on. Just then the little mouse happened to pass by, and seeing rhe sad plight in which in which the lion was, went up to him and soon guawed away the ropes that bound the king of the beasts. This fable told us : Little friends may prove gread friends. The boy who cried Wolf -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There was once a Shepard boy who watched a flock of sheep on a small hill near the village. One day he got bored and couldn't resist but to cry out "The wolf is here! The wolf is here!" The villagers frantically grabbed their weapons and ran to the top of the hill only to find the Shepard boy laughing. The boy did this again and again, and the village people would run up to the hill again and again. This made the people very mad. One day a wolf really did come to the hill, the Shepard boy called for help, but the village people did not come to his aid thinking that it was just a prank again. The wolf ate all the sheep and the Shepard boy never cried wolf again.此帖由 tiantian03 在 2005-10-25 15:20 进行编辑...

如果我能让那破碎的心灵　
得以弥合我此生也就没有枉过
如果我能让那内心的痛苦　
得以抚息或者帮助垂危的知更恢复生机
我此生也就富于意义

The kingdom of the bees 
 By William Shakespeare <A href="http://www.godcedar.com/erp/kingdomofbees.mp3"><img src="http://www.godcedar.com/admin/uploadpic/20059281145929.gif" border="0" onclick="javascript:window.open(this.src);" alt= style="CURSOR: pointer" onload="javascript:if(this.width>screen.width-500)this.style.width=screen.width-500;" /> 
So work the honeybees;
Creatures, that.
By a rule in nature, teach
The act of order to a peopled kingdom .
They have a king, and officers of sorts:
Where some like magistrates,
Correct at home;
Others , like merchants,
Venture trade abroad;
Others , like soldiers,
Armed in their stings,
Make boot upon the summer’s velvet
Buds;
Which pillage they with merry march bring 
Home
To the tent-royal of their emperor:
Who, busied in his majesties, surveys
The singing masons building roofs of good;
The civil citizens kneading up the honey;
The poor mechanic porters crowding in
Their heavy burthens at his narrow gate;
The sad-ey’d justice, with his surly hum,
Delivering o’er to executors pale
The lazy yawning drone.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com

译文
蜜蜂王国神奇的蜜蜂王国象人类社会一样秩序井然，成千上万只蜜蜂各安其位、各司其责，有女王、有臣民、有工人、有士兵。正如老子所说：“莫之命而常自然”。 <o:p></o:p>
蜜蜂就是这样工作，这种小生灵，用自然的规律，教给人类王国秩序的法则。他们有一个国王，有各司其职的官员：有些像地方官，在国内惩奸除恶；有些像是商贾，闯荡到海外经商；有些象是士兵，用尾刺武装自己，劫掠夏日妖嫩的花苞；然后欢天喜地把战利品往回搬，带回到国王的宝帐。那日理万机的蜂王，正在视察哼着歌儿的泥水匠把金黄的屋顶盖上；那些安分的蜜蜂正在把蜂蜜酿；可怜的搬运夫纷纷涌进，肩上的重担卸在窄窄的门口；目光冷冷的法官阴沉地哼哼着，向脸色苍白的刽子手下令处决懒惰的打哈欠的工蜂。</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>此帖由 tiantian03 在 2005-10-28 15:34 进行编辑...

<h2>Count That Day Lost</h2><h3>George Eliot <hr /></h3><ul><ul><ul>If you sit down at set of sunAnd count the acts that you have done,And, counting, findOne self-denying deed, one wordThat eased the heart of him who heard, One glance most kindThat fell like sunshine where it went--Then you may count that day well spent.But if, through all the livelong day,You've cheered no heart, by yea or nay--If, through it allYou've nothing done that you can traceThat brought the sunshine to one face--No act most smallThat helped some soul and nothing cost--Then count that day as worse than lost. </ul></ul></ul>此帖由 tiantian03 在 2005-11-02 00:11 进行编辑...
