婴孩与乌鸦（Baby and crow）

有一天，有个女人去为还不会说话的孩子算命，算命先生预言孩子将会被乌鸦所害死。她非常害怕，便做了一个大箱子，把孩子放在里边保护起来，她定时打开箱子，给孩子送饭菜和水。有一次，她正打开箱子盖给孩子送水，孩子顽皮地把头伸出来，不巧箱子上的鸦嘴形的搭扣砸在孩子的脑门上，把他砸死了。

寓意：该来的灾难是躲不掉的，只有提高自己与灾难抗争的能力。

One day, a woman went to tell the fortune of a child who could not speak, and the fortune teller predicted that the child would be killed by crows. She was so frightened that she made a large box and put the child in it for protection, and she opened the box regularly to bring food and water to the child. Once, she was opening the lid of the box to deliver water to the child, and the child naughtily stuck his head out, but the crow-shaped buckle on the box smashed on the door of the child's head, killing him.

Moral: The disaster that should come cannot be avoided, only to improve your ability to fight against the disaster.

儿子与画的狮子（Son with a painted lion）

有个胆小的老人有个独生子，他勇敢而且天生喜欢打猎。有一次，老人梦见儿子悲惨地被狮子咬死。他极害怕这梦变为现实，便特别建造了一座悬空的漂亮房子，将儿子锁在里面，把他保护起来。为了让儿子高兴，老人在墙上画了各种各样的动物，其中也画有狮子。然而，那孩子越看画越烦恼。有一次，他站在狮子画的旁边，说道：“喂，你这可恶的野兽，为了你和我父亲荒唐的梦，我才被关在这种像牢房一样的房里。”说着说着，便挥动拳头用力向墙打去，好像要把那狮子打死。不料一根刺钻到他指甲里去了，他疼痛难忍，最后发炎引起高烧不退，没多久便死了。原本是一头画在墙上的狮子，竟把孩子害死了。这位父亲精心的安排对孩子有害无益。

寓意：人们要勇敢地去面对困难，而不要用什么心计去回避它。

There was a timid old man who had an only child, who was brave and naturally fond of hunting. Once, the old man dreamed that his son was tragically bitten to death by a lion. He was so terrified that this dream would become a reality, so he built a beautiful house in the air, locked his son in it, and protected him. In order to make his son happy, the old man painted various animals on the wall, including lions. However, the more the child looked at the painting, the more troubled he became. Once, standing next to a painting of a lion, he said, "Hey, you odious beast, I was kept in this cell-like room for the sake of your and my father's ridiculous dreams." As he spoke, he threw his fist against the wall, as if he were going to beat the lion to death. Unexpectedly, a thorn burrowed into his nails, and he was in excruciating pain, and finally the inflammation caused a high fever that did not go away, and he died not long after. Originally a lion painted on the wall, it killed the child. The father's elaborate arrangements are harmful to the child.

Moral: People should be brave enough to face difficulties without any tricks to avoid it.
