一、橡樹與蘆葦（英漢互譯）
Once upon a time, there lived a huge oak tree.
從前，樹林裡有一棵巨大的橡樹。
The oak tree was proud that it was the biggest and strongest in the world.
橡樹覺得自己是世界上體型最大最強壯的樹，因此非常驕傲。
"Despite any hardships, I can survive till the end. There is nothing as powerful as me."
「不管是什麼困難，我都能安然度過。沒人比我更強大。」
One day, a severe windstorm began.
一天，突然來了一場風暴。
Watching the other trees fall down one by one, the oak tree was triumphant. "I'll be fine."
看著其他的樹一棵一棵地倒下，橡樹油然生出一種勝利感。「我就沒事。」
However, the oak tree collapsed when the windstorm was blowing.
然而，最後橡樹還是被暴風吹倒了。
Flowing on the water, the oak tree thought, 'How did I end up like this?'
橡樹隨水漂流著，心想：「我怎麼就這樣結束了此生？」
As it was swept away by the river, the oak tree passed a field of reeds.
當被河水衝走時，橡樹路過了一片蘆葦叢。
The reeds were standing there without being broken.
那裡的蘆葦並沒有被吹倒。
"Oh, Mr. Reed! How did you survive the rainstorm with your fragile body?" The oak tree envied the reeds.
「哦，蘆葦先生！你這麼脆弱，是如何安然度過的？橡樹很羨慕蘆葦。
One of the reeds kindly said to the oak tree flowing down, "Mr. Oak Tree, you showed that you were the strongest in the world, right?
蘆葦親切地說：「橡樹先生，你自誇是世界上最強壯的人，對嗎？
The wind brings down anything with an air of importance."
暴風會把任何趾高氣昂的人打到的。」
"We never think highly of ourselves, but lower our heads when we come across a windstorm.
「我們從來不會自以為是，當暴風來襲時，我們會謙卑地低下頭。
If you had lowered your head without being so proud, you would have survived the rainstorm."
如果當時你低下頭，你會在暴雨中存活下來的。」

Suddenly she sees a bear riding a bike toward her. She watches the bike. 「I know! I have a good idea.」 she jumps and shouts happily, 「I can roll a pumpkin. It’s like a wheel.」
突然她看見一隻狗熊騎著一輛自行車朝她這邊來。她看著自行車，跳著說：「有了！我有辦法了。我可以把南瓜滾回家去。南瓜好像車輪。
So she rolls the pumpkin to her home. When her mother sees the big pumpkin, she is surprised, 「Oh, my God! How can you carry it home?」 the little panda answers proudly, 「I can’t lift it, but I can roll it.」 Her mother smiled and says，「What a clever girl!」
於是她把那瓜滾回家。當她媽媽看到這隻大南瓜的時候，很驚訝：「天啊！這麼食的南瓜！你是怎麼把它帶回家來的？」小熊貓自豪地說；「我拎不動它，可是我能滾動它啊！」她媽媽微笑著說：「真聰明啊！」
