乌鸦喝水
A crow, ready to die with thirst, flew with joy to a pitcher which he saw at a distance. But when he came up to it, he found the water so low that with all his stooping and straining he was unable to reach it. Thereupon he tried to bread the pitcher, then to overturn it, seeing some small pebbles at hand, he dropped a great many of them, one by one, into the pitcher, and so raised the water to the brim, and quenched his thirst.
译 文
一只快渴死的乌鸦，远远地看见一只水壶，就高兴地飞了过去，但是当他飞到的时候发现壶里的水浅得怎么用力弯腰伸颈也够不着，于是他试着把水壶打破，又试着把他推倒。但是力量不足，都做不到，最后看见近边有许多小石子，他一个个地把很多石子丢进了水壶，这样使水上升到壶口，就解了渴。

Among the many pretty ones, 万千佳丽，
Only you do not use makeup. 唯有你不施脂粉。
Your feelings are genuine, 一片纯情，
You have a radiance all your own... 光彩照人......
You are youthful! 你是青春!
Among scores of high mountains, 百十山岳间，
Only you have a longer horizon. 唯有你天开地阔。
Looking for close friedds among equals, 平等中寻觅挚友，
And building up oneself through honest deeds...以诚实营造自我...
