To Pull up the Seedlings to Help Them Grow

Once upon a time, an old farmer planted a plot of rice. Everyday he

went to the field to watch the seedlings grow. He saw the young shoots

break through the soil and grow taller each day. But still, he thought

they were growing too slowly. He got impatient with the young plants.

"How could the plants grow faster?" He tossed in bed ring the night and

could not sleep. Suddenly he hit upon an idea. He had an idea not wait

for daybreak. He jumped out of the bed and dashed to the field. By the

moonlight, he began working on the rice seedlings. One by one, he pulled

up the young plants by half an inch. When he finished pulling, it was

already morning. Straightening his back, he said to himself, "What a

wonderful idea! Look, how much taller the plants have grown one night!"

With great satisfaction, he went back home. He told his son what he had

done in a triumphant tone. His son was shocked. Now the sun had risen.

The young man was heart-broken to see all the pulled-up young plants

dying.

People now use " Ba Miao Zhu Zhang" to describe the behavior of those

who are too eager to get something done only to make it worse. The idiom

is a bit like the English proverb "Haste makes waste" ------to spoil

things by excessive enthusiasm.

撥苗助長

從前，有個農夫，種了稻苗後，便希望能早早收成。每天他到稻田時，發覺那些稻

苗長得非常慢。

他等得不耐煩，心想：「怎麼樣才能使稻苗長得高，長很快呢?

想了又想，他終了想到一個「最佳方法」，就是將稻苗撥高幾分。

經過一番辛勞後，他滿意地扛鋤頭回家休息。心想：明天稻苗長得一定更高了。

隔天早晨．一早起身，他迫不及待地起去稻田看他的「成果」。

哪知，他跑到稻田時，卻看到所有的稻苗都枯萎了。

Long ago there were two hunchbacks. One was kind but the other was mean and spiteful. The two hunchbacks cold not work in the village because everybody made fun of them; therefore they went into the hills to cut wood. That is, the kind one cut all the wood since the mean and spiteful one was very lazy and was always telling his companion;
"Ay!, how sick I am today. It is better if you go and cut the wood this week." His partner, being kind-hearted, would go into the mountains and do all the work week after week.

One day, when the mean one had stayed at home as usual, the good woodcutter worked very hard and was very tired. Since his house was far away, he decided to camp near a small spring. About midnight, the woodcutter heard someone singing. At first he thought that somebody had camped near by but when he had listened to what was being sung, he realized that the voices he heard were not human.

Very cautiously he arose and silently walked to the place where the singing came from. Imagine his surprise when he saw a group of fairies singing and dancing around a blazing fire.

Monday and Tuesday and Wednesday three,
Monday and Tuesday and Wednesday three.

That was all the fairies sang, they repeated the same line over and over again. It seemed that it was the only song they knew. The woodcutter then decided that he would talk to them. Naturally, as soon as he heard them singing again, he went near the fire and the fairies saw him at once.

"What do you want, oh mortal?" asked the fairies. "Why do you come to bother us?"

"Because I can help you. Listen tome and you will see that your song will sound better this way." Then he sang:

Monday and Tuesday and Wednesday three,
Thursday and Friday and Saturday six.

Oh! The fairies were filled with joy. They noticed then that the good woodcutter was a hunchback. They told him to kneel down and with a magic wand touched his hump. Immediately it disappeared, leaving him strong and strong

They were dazzlingly white with long waving necks. They were swans and uttering a peculiar cry. They spread out their magnificent broad wings and flew away from the cold regions toward warmer lands and open seas. They 2)mounted so high, so very high, and the ugly little ckling became strangely uneasy. He circled around and around in the water like a wheel, 3)craning his neck out into the air after them. Then he uttered the shriek so 4)piercing and so strange that he was quite frightened by himself. Oh, he could not forget those beautiful birds, those happy birds and as soon as they were out of sight. He 5)cked right down to the bottom and when he came up again, he was quite beside himself. He did not know what the birds were or where』d they flew. But all the same, he was more drawn towards them than he had ever been by any creatures before. He did not envy them in the least. How could it occur to him even to wish to be such a marvelous beauty? He wouldn』t be thankful if only the cks would have tolerated him among them, the poor ugly creature. Early in the morning, a peasant came along and saw him, he went out onto the ice and hammered a hole in it with his heavy wooden shoe, and carried the ckling home to his wife. There, it soon 6)revived. The children wanted to play with it. But the ckling thought they were going to ill use him and rushed in and he frightened to the milk-pan, and the milk 7)spurted out all over the room. The woman shrieked and threw up her hands.

The woman screamed and tried to hit it with the 8)tongs, and the children 9)tumbled over one another in trying to catch it, and they screamed with laughter. By good luck, the door stood open and the ckling flew out among the bushes and the new fallen snow. And it lay there, thoroughly exhausted, but it would be too sad to mention all the privation and misery had to go through ring that hard winter. When the sun began to shine warmly again, the ckling was in a marsh, lying among the rushes. The larks were singing, and the beautiful spring had come. Then all at once, it raised its wings and they flapped with much greater strength than before and bore him off vigorously. Before he knew where he was, he found himself in a large garden with the apple trees were in full blossom. And the air was scentedly with lilacs, the long branches of which overhung the indented shores of the lake. Oh, the spring freshness was so delicious. Just in front of him, he saw three beautiful white swans advancing towards him from a10)thicket. With1 1)rustling feathers, they swam lightly over the water.

One day, a colt took a bag of wheat to the mill.
As he was running with the bag on his back, he came to a small river. The colt could not decide whether he could cross it. Looking around, he saw a cow grazing nearby. He asked, "Aunt Cow, could you tell me if I can cross the river?" The cow told him that he could and that the river was not very deep, just knee high.

the colt was crossing the river when a squirrel jumped down a tree and stopped him. The squirrel shouted, "Colt, stop! You'll drown! One of my friends drowned just yesterday in the river." Not knowing what to do, the colt went home to consult his mom.

He told his mom his experience on the way. His mother said, "My child, don't always listen to others. You'd better go and try yourself. Then you'll know what to do."

Later, at the river, the squirrel stopped the colt again. "Little horse, it's too dangerous!"

"No, I want to try myself", answered the colt. Then he crossed the river carefully.

On the other side of the river, the colt realized that the river was neither as shallow as the cow said nor as deep as the squirrel told him.

You see, real knowledge comes from practice.
小馬過河兒童英語故事中文譯文

一天，小馬馱著麥子去磨坊。

當他馱著口袋向前跑去時，突然發現一條小河擋住了去路。小馬為難了，這可怎麼辦呢？

它向四周望瞭望，看見一頭奶牛在河邊吃草。小馬問道：「牛阿姨，請您告訴我，這條河我能趟過去嗎？」奶牛回答說：「水很淺，剛到膝蓋。」

小馬正准備過河，突然叢樹上跳下一隻松鼠，攔住它大叫道：「小馬，別過河！你會被淹死的。昨天，我的一個夥伴就在這條河裡淹死啦！」小馬不知如何是好，於是決定回家問問媽媽。

小馬把路上的經歷告訴了媽媽。媽媽說：「孩子，光聽別人說是不行的，你自己親自去試一試，就知道答案了。」

小馬回到河邊，剛要下水，松鼠又大叫起來：「小馬，你不要命啦？」小馬說：「讓我自己試試吧。」它一面回答一面下了河，小心地趟了過去。原來河水既不像老牛說的那樣淺也不像松鼠說的那樣深。

這下明白了吧，實踐才能出真知。
