英语小寓言故事3:The carrot, the Egg and the Coffee Bean
A young woman went to her mother and told her about her life and how things were so hard for her. She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling.
It seemed as one problem was solved, a new one arose. Her mother took her to the kitchen. She filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Soon the pots came to boil. In the first she placed carrots, in the second she placed eggs, and in the last she placed ground coffee(咖啡粉) beans.
She let them sit and boil, without saying a word. In about twenty minutes she turned off the burners. She fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. She pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl. Then she ladled the coffee out and placed it in a bowl. Turning to her daughter, she asked, “Tell me ,what do you see?”
“Carrots, eggs, and coffee,” the young woman replied. The mother brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft. The mother then asked the daughter to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg. Finally, the mother asked the daughter to sip the coffee. The daughter smiled as she tasted its rich aroma(芳香). The daughter then asked, “What does it mean, mother?”
Her mother explained that each of these objects had faced the same adversity. Boiling water. each reacted differently. The carrot went in strong, hard, and unrelenting. However, after being subjected to the boiling water, it softened and became weak.
The egg had been fragile. Its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior, but after sitting through the boiling water, its inside became hardened. The ground coffee beans were unique, however. After they were in the boiling water, they had changed the water.
“Which are you?” she asked her daughter. “When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean?” Think of this: which am I? Am I the carrot that seems strong, but with pain and adversity do I wilt and become soft and lose my strength? Am I the egg that starts with a malleable(可塑的) heart, but changes with the heat? Did I have a fluid spirit, but after a death, a death, a breakup, a financial hardship or some other trial, have I become hardened and stiff? Does my shell look the same ,but on the inside am I bitter and tough with a stiff spirit and hardened heart? Or am I like the coffee bean? The bean actually changes the hot water, the very circumstance that brings the pain. When the water gets hot, it releases the fragrance(香味) and flavor.
If you are like the bean, when things are at their worst, you get better and change the situation around you. When the hours are the darkest and trials are their greatest, do you elevate to another level? How do you handle adversity? Are you a carrot, an egg, or a coffee bean?

There are no clouds in the sky. The road is dusty. What's more, there is no where to shelter. Just then, a man approaches with a cow.
The cow is healthy and better than others. “It is sure to make the best milk!” the peasant thinks. “It would be a good buy for me to exchange the cow for the horse…” “Hello, friend.” he says. “I think that the hose is worth more than the cow, but I don't mind. The cow is more useful to me. Will you trade with me?” “Certainly, I will.” The man who is leading the cow says. So they trade. The peasant could have gone home because he had done what he wanted to do. But since he was on his way to the market, he resolves to go and have a look. Therefore, he continues up the road with the cow. In no time, he catches up with a man who is leading a sheep which is nice and fat with good wool. “

“May we trade?” he says. “Trade?” The man says. “Oh, that's not bad.” So they trade. The taxman gets the goose and the peasant owns the hen. He has done a lot of business on the way to the market. It is hot and he feels tired. He wants to eat and drink something. He walks toward a tavern. As he is going in, a seller is coming out.

Ah, when you go home, I am sure that your wife will hit you”, the two Englishmen say, “She will quarrel with you.” “She will give me a kiss and she will not hit me.” the peasant says, “
my wife will say my husband is always correct.” They say: “we can bet one hundred and eleven pounds!” The peasant says: “I can juts bet a bag of mashed apples.
What's more, I may add my wife and myself to the bet. I think that makes it fair.” “Good, very good!” they say. So the bet is made. The master drives out his cart. The two Englishmen and the peasant with mashed apples get on it. After a while, they reached the peasants' house.
“Good evening, wife!”
“Good evening, husband!”
“I have traded.”
“You know what you have done.” the old woman says so she hugs him. So they forget all the guests and the apples.
“I traded a cow for the horse.”
“Thank goodness, we have milk.” the old woman says. “We have milk and cheese. That was a good deal.”
“Yes, but I traded a sheep for the cow.”

“A hen?”
“That was a great deal!” the old woman says. “The hen will lay eggs which will hatch into chicks. We just need a broodof chicks.”
“But I traded a bag of mashed apples for it.”
“Now I can not help kissing you.” the old woman says, “Thank you, my good husband! Now I will tell you something. As you know, after you left, I planned to cook for you. I remember that pancakes are your favorite food. But I have no caraway seed. So I borrow some from the school teacher. I knew that they had some. But the teacher's wife is so mean. I asked her to lend some to me. ‘Borrow?' she says to me. ‘We planted nothing in the vegetable garden besides a mashed apple. We can't lend you because I don't have any apples.' Now I can lend her ten mashed apples or a bag of mashed apples. Husband, this is so funny!” She kissed him after saying this.
“This is wonderful!” the two Englishmen say together, “Always he is always meetingmisfortune, he is happy. That is good fortune.” Then they pay the peasant 111 pounds because he does not get hit but gets a kiss.
Yes, if an old woman thinks her husband is the cleverest man in the world and says what he does is right, she will gain!

有一天，一只老虎正在深山老林里转悠，突然发现了一只狐狸，便迅速抓住了它，心想今天的午餐又可以美美地享受一顿了。
狐狸生性狡猾，它知道今天被老虎逮住以后，前景一定不妙，于是就编出一个谎言，对老虎说：“我是天帝派到山林中来当百兽之王的，你要是吃了我，天帝是不会饶恕你的。”
老虎对狐狸的'话将信将疑，便问：“你当百兽之王，有何证据?”狐狸赶紧说：“你如果不相信我的话，可以随我到山林中去走一走，我让你亲眼看看百兽对我望而生畏的样子。”
老虎想这倒也是个办法，于是就让狐狸在前面带路，自己尾随其后，一道向山林的深处走去。
森林中的野兔、山羊、花鹿、黑熊等各种兽类远远地看见老虎来了，一个个都吓得魂飞魄散，纷纷夺路逃命。
