The hares once gathered together and lamented the unhappiness of their lot, exposed as they were to dangers on all sides and lacking the strength and the courage to hold their own.
Men, dogs, birds and beasts of prey were all their enemies, and killed and devoured them daily: and sooner than endure such persecution any longer, they one and all determined to end their miserable lives. Thus resolved and desperate, they rushed in a body towards a neighbouring pool, intending to drown themselves.
On the bank were sitting a number of frogs, who, when they heard the noise of the hares as they ran, with one accord leaped into the water and hid themselves in the depths.
Then one of the older hares who was wiser than the rest cried out to his companions, "Stop, my friends, take heart; dont let us destroy ourselves after all: see, here are creatures who are afraid of us, and who must, therefore, be still more timid than ourselves."

有一群青蛙正围坐在池塘边，听到兔子们那急促的跑步声后，青蛙们立即纷纷跳入水中。
兔子中，有一只年长的。兔子比同伴们聪明一些：“朋友们，快停下来，我们应该振作起来，不要再自寻短见了！你们看，这里还有一些害怕我们的动物呢，他们肯定比我们更胆小。”
There was once upon a time an old goat who had seven little kids, and loved them with all the love of a mother for her children. One day she wanted to go into the forest andfetch some food. So she called all seven to her and said, Dear children, I have to go into the forest, be on your guard against the wolf; if he comes in, he will devour you all -- skin, hair, and all.

he story happened during the Second World War(战争).An old man lived in a small town of Germany. He had three sons and they all worked in the same factory where he had worked.

And nobody helped him and he didn’t know how to go in living .
It was a very cold winter night . The old man couldn’t go to sleep . He had been hungry for two days and it was so cold in his room that ice could be seen . He had to get up and begun to run in the room until he lay down on the ground. The next morning he had to beg from door to door. He had been to a lot of cities and knew a lot.
Once he came to a village , but the villages were all poor and couldn’t give him anything . He was too hungry to go to another village . He thought hard and found a way . He came to a police station and called out , “Hitler is a foolish pig !"

In 1899, when Einstein studied at the Swiss Federal University of Technology in Zurich, his tlltor was Minkevsky, a mathematician.
1899年，爱因斯坦在瑞士苏黎世联邦理工大学就读时，他的导师是数学家明可夫斯基。
Once Einstein asked Minkevsky, "How can a person, like me, leave his distinct footprints on the road of life and make an outstanding contribution in the scientific field?" It was a "sophisticated" problem. Minkevsky said that he had to think about it better and then gave him an answer.
有一次，爱因斯坦问明可夫斯基：“一个人，比如我吧，究竟怎样才能在科学领域、在人生道路上，留下自己的问光足迹、做出自己的杰出贡献呢？”这是个“尖锐”的问题，明可夫斯基说他要好好想一下再给他答案。
Three days later, Minkevsky told Einstein that the answer was coming! He pulled Einstein to walk toward a building site and straight set foot on the cement ground that the construction workers had just paved.
三天后，明可夫斯基告诉爱因斯坦说有答案了！他拉着爱因斯坦朝一处建筑工地走去，而且径直踏上了建筑工人刚刚铺好的水泥地。
In the workers scolding, Einstein was confused to ask Minkevsky,"Sir, dont you lead me astray?"
在建筑工人的呵斥声中，爱因斯坦被弄的一头雾水，不解的问明可夫斯基：“老师，您这不是在误导我？”
"Right, exactly!" Minkevsky said. "Have you seen it? Only the old road surface that have long solidified and on those place that have been passed by countless steps, you cannot tread out your footprint.
“对，就是这样！”明可夫斯基说。 “看到了吧？只有尚未凝固的水泥面，才能留下深深的足迹。这些凝固很久的老路面，这些被无数脚步走过的`地方，你别想再踩出脚印。”
Hearing that, Einstein thought long and nodded significantly, Since then, a very strong sense of innovation and pioneering consciousness began dominating Einsteins thinking and action. He said, "I never memorize and reflect what dictionaries and manuals carry, for my brain only memorize those things that are not included in books." It was such a reason that Einstein left his deep sparkling footprints in the history of science.
听到这里，爱因斯坦沉思了良久，意味深长地点了点头。从此，一种强力的创新和开拓意识，开始主导着爱因斯坦的思维和行动，他说：“我从不记忆和思考词典、手册里的东西，我的脑袋只用来记忆和思考这些还没载入书本的东西。”正因如此，爱因斯坦才在科学史上留下了深深的、闪光的足迹。

Men grew hungry,impolite and rightn or law was respected any longer,and the rule of hospitality was forgotten．Dressed up in human form,Zeus visited Arcadia andThessaly,and disliked the deadly wrongs of men ．He decidedto clear the earth of them all．Without hesitation he released therainy south wind and called upon the heartless Poseidon to help．Soon the whole world sank in a vast ocean,and the entire humanrace disappeared in the unheard of flood,all but two poor Thessalians．
These were an old childless couple,kind and faithful and contented with life．The man was called Deucalion and his wife Pyrrha．Son of Prometheus,Deucalion had been warned beforehand by his father of the coming floodand made himself a hugechest．When the roaring flood came the couple hid themselves init and floated for nine days until it touched land again on Mt Parnassus．
The once active world presented a frightening sight．It was all death and ruin．Feeling lonely and unsafe,the old coupleprayed to the gods for help．A sage instructed them to cast the bones of their mother about．The son of the wise Titan, havingguessed the true meaning of the mysterious command,started throwing stones behind him．A miracle occurred．The stonesthat the man cast became men；the stones that the woman threwturned into women．Since then,people appeared on the land again．The Heroic Age had begun．
