Once upon a time the fox was talking to the wolf about the strength of man, how no animal could withstand him, and how all were obliged to employ cunning(狡猾的) in order to protect themselves from him.
The wolf answered, "If I could see a man just once, I would attack him nonetheless(儘管如此)."
"I can help you to do that," said the fox. "Come to me early tomorrow morning, and I will show you one."
The wolf arrived on time, and the fox took him out to the path which the huntsman used every day. First an old discharged soldier came by.
"Is that a man?" asked the wolf.
"No," answered the fox. "He has been one."
Afterwards came a little boy on his way to school.
"Is that a man?"
"No, he will yet become one."
Finally a huntsman came by with his double-barreled gun on his back, and a sword at his side.
The fox said to the wolf, "Look, there comes a man. He is the one you must attack, but I am going back to my den."
The wolf then charged at the man.
When the huntsman saw him he said, "Too bad that I have not loaded with a bullet." Then he aimed and fired a load of shot into his face.
The wolf pulled an awful face, but did not let himself be frightened, and attacked him again, on which the huntsman gave him the second barrel. The wolf swallowed his pain and charged at the huntsman again, who in turn drew out his naked sword, and gave him a few blows with it left and right, so that, bleeding all over, he ran howling back to the fox.
"Well," Brother Wolf, said the fox, "how did you get along with man?"
"Oh," replied the wolf, "I never imagined the strength of man to be what it is. First, he took a stick from his shoulder, and blew into it, and then something flew into my face which tickledme terribly. Then he breathed once more into the stick, and it flew up my nose like lightning and hail. Then when I got next to him, he drew a naked rib out of his body, and he beat me so with it that he almost killed me."
"See what a braggart you are," said the fox. "You throw your hatchet(短柄小斧) so far that you cannot get it back again."
從前有隻狐狸向狼談起人的力量，說沒有動物能抵擋得了，所以他認爲所有動物都必須施展計謀才能保護自己。可狼回答說：“假如我有機會碰到一個人，我就撲上去讓他無法抵擋。”狐狸說：“我可以幫你碰到人啊。明早你早點來我家，我把他指給你看。”
第二天，狼很早就來了，狐狸帶它來到獵人每天的必經之路。
他們碰到的第一個人是個退役老兵，狼問：“那是個人嗎?”
“不是，”狐狸回答，“他以前是。”
接着他們遇到一個去上學的小男孩。“那是個人嗎?”狼又問。“不是。”
狐狸回答說，“他將來是。”最後一個獵人朝它們走來，他肩上扛着雙筒獵鎗，腰間還插着一把獵刀，狐狸對狼說：“那個就是人，你該朝他撲過去，我可是要回我洞裏去了。”
於是狼朝獵人衝了過去。獵人一看說：“真可惜我沒裝上子彈，而是散彈。”他瞄準狼的臉開了一槍。狼疼得一陣痙攣，可還是沒被嚇倒，又朝獵人衝了過去。獵人又開了一槍。狼忍着巨痛撲向獵人，沒想到獵人抽出獵刀左右開弓地在狼身上劃了幾道口子。狼鮮血四濺，嚎叫着逃到狐狸那裏去了。
“狼兄弟，”狐狸說，“和人相處怎麼樣?”“哈!”狼回答說，“我從沒想到人的力量會這麼大!他先是從肩上取下一根棍子，朝裏面吹了一口氣，就有甚麼東西飛到我臉上，癢得我要命;接着他又吹了一次，就有東西飛到我鼻子周圍，像下了一陣雹子。當我靠近他時，他從身上抽出一根白得發亮的肋骨狠狠地打我，幾乎把我打死在那裏。”
狐狸說：“你這個吹牛大王，誰讓你把話說得太大了，自己連退路都沒有了呢。”
初中經典英語故事：麥兜名字的由來McDull is a male pig who can be distinguished by a birthmark(胎痣) on his right eye. He has a heart of gold, but he isn't very smart and ordinary in every way; nevertheless, he has many dreams. However, every time he tries, he fails; he is disappointed, but tries again, exploring other dreams. In this way he creates his own colourful world. He lives his life simply and naturally. He is not perfect, but his attitude towards life, namely of never giving up, makes him a popular character。
The name McDull actually has a story itself. When Mrs Mak was going to give birth to McDull, she saw a magical plastic basin (pronounced roughly as "dull" in Cantonese) flying over her head. Believing it a sign from the gods, she named her son as "Dull"。
初中經典英語故事：Platypus plays tricksBefore the dawn of time, all the animals looked the same.
Normally this was fine, but some of the cheekier animals likes to play tricks on Mother Earth and pretend to be other animals.
Since they looked exactly the same, even Mother Earth who had created them couldn't tell the difference!
To try to fix this problem, she decided to make each different animal look different, so they couldn't swap(交換) identities.
Now, there were some animals who liked flying through the air, or climbing trees more than anything, but not Platypus. He liked swimming.
At the time Mother Earth sent out her message that she was going to change what everyone looked like, Platypus was under the water, playing with his friend Fish.
Platypus stayed in the water even after Fish had got out, and since sound doesn't travel that well under water, Platypus didn't get to hear Mother Earth's message. It was only when Fish came back looking like a beautiful river fish, with his scales gleaming, that Platypus even knew about the message.
He left immediately for Mother Earth's home, so he too could look different. But by the time he got there, there was only left overs left. Platypus so wanted to be like everyone else, that he took the left overs.
He ended up with a beavers(海狸) tail, a ducks bill and flippers, and a bears fur and claws at the end of the flippers.
When he got back to the lake to show his friends, they all just laughed at him.
Platypus was so embarrassed that he went and dug a hole in the ground near the river bank to live in.
After awhile though, Fish came along and apologised.
They become friends again, and Platypus even made another opening to his home underwater just so fish could come and visit.
