　　千鏡之屋The?House?of?1000?Mirrors

　　In?this?same?village,another?little?dog,who?was?not?quite?as?happy?as?the?first?one,decided?to?visit?the?house.He?slowly?climbed?the?stairs?and?hung?his?head?low?as?he?looked?into?the?door.When?he?saw?the?1000?unfriendly?looking?dogs?staring?back?at?him,he?growled?at?them?and?was?horrified?to?see?1000?little?dogs?growling?back?at?him.As?he?left,he?thought?to?himself,"That?is?a?horrible?place,and?I?will?never?go?back?there?again."

　　All?the?faces?in?the?world?are?mirrors.What?kind?of?reflections?do?you?see?in?the?faces?of?the?people?you?meet?

　　很久以前的一個很遠的小村莊里，有一個以"千鏡屋"而著名的地方。一個樂觀的小狗聽說了這個地方并決定去參觀。當來到這個地方，他蹦蹦跳歡恰快的上了臺階，來到房門口，他高高豎起耳朵，歡快地搖著尾巴，從門口口往里張望，他驚奇地看到有1000只歡樂的小狗像他一樣快的搖尾巴。他燦爛地微笑著，回報他的是1000張熱情，友好的燦爛笑臉。離開時他心想："這是一個精彩的地主，我一定要經(jīng)常來參觀。"

　　在這個村里還有另一只想?yún)⒂^"千鏡屋"的小狗，他不及第一只小狗樂觀，他慢吞吞地爬上臺階，然后耷拉著腦袋往屋子里看。一看到有1000只小狗不友好地盯著他，他便開始沖他們狂吠，鏡中的1000只小狗也沖著他狂吠，把他給嚇壞了，他在離開時心想："這是一個恐怖的地方，我再也不會來了。"

　　世界上所有的臉都是鏡子，在你所遇見的人的臉上你看到反射出來的是什么?

　　守財奴The?Miser守財奴

　　A?MISER?sold?all?that?he?had?and?bought?a?lump?of?gold,which?he?buried?in?a?hole?in?the?ground?by?the?side?of?an?old?wall?and?went?to?look?at?daily.One?of?his?workmen?observed?his?frequent?visits?to?the?spot?and?decided?to?watch?his?movements.He?soon?discovered?the?secret?of?the?hidden?treasure,and?digging?down,came?to?the?lump?of?gold,and?stole?it.The?Miser,on?his?next?visit,found?the?hole?empty?and?began?to?tear?his?hair?and?to?make?loud?lamentations.A?neighbor,seeing?him?overcome?with?grief?and?learning?the?cause,said,"Pray?do?not?grieve?so;but?go?and?take?a?stone,and?place?it?in?the?hole,and?fancy?that?the?gold?is?still?lying?there.It?will?do?you?quite?the?same?service;for?when?the?gold?was?there,you?had?it?not,as?you?did?not?make?the?slightest?use?of?it."

　　有個守財奴變賣了他所有的家產(chǎn)，換回了金塊，并秘密地埋在一個地方。他每天走去看看他的寶藏。有個在附近放羊的牧人留心觀察，知道了真情，趁他走后，挖出金塊拿走了。守財奴再來時，發(fā)現(xiàn)洞中的金塊沒有了，便捶胸痛哭。有個人見他如此悲痛，問明原因后，說道：“喂，朋友，別再難過了，那塊金子雖是你買來的，但并不是你真正擁有的。去拿一塊石頭來，代替金塊放在洞里，只要你心里想著那是塊金子，你就會很高興。這樣與你擁有真正的金塊效果沒什么不同。依我之見，你擁有那金塊時，也從沒用過?！?

　　這故事說明，一切財物如不使用等于沒有。
