6.My uncle has two dogs. One is big and the other is small. He likes them very much.
One day, Mr. Smith came to visit him. When the friend saw two holes in the door, a large hole and a small hole, he was surprised and said, "My dear friend, why are there two holes in your door?" "Let my dogs come in and come out, of course," Mr. Smith asked. "But why are there two holes? One is enough!" "But how can the big dog go through the small hole?" my uncle said.
Sometimes a clever man may make such mistakes.

7.There was once a blind man who had so fine a sense of touch that, when any animal was put into his hands, he could tell what it was merely by the feel of it. One day the cub of a wolf was put into his hands, he was asked what it was. He felt it for some time, and then said, "Indeed, I am not sure whether it is a wolf's cub or a fox's: but this I know -- it would never do to trust it in a sheepfold."
Evil tendencies are early shown.
从前,有一个人眼睛虽然瞎了,可是他精于嗅觉,只要用手摸一摸,凭借着触感就便能说出这是什么动物。有一天,一只小狼崽被送到他的手中,请他告知这是什么东西。他用手摸了一会儿,然后说:“我不太确定,这到底是一只小狼崽,还是一只狐狸的幼崽,但是有一点我十分确定,千万别让它进羊圈。”
恶劣的本性从小便知。

A RAVEN saw a Swan and desired to secure for himself the same beautiful plumage. Supposing that the Swan's splendid white color arose from his washing in the water in which he swam, the Raven left the altars in the neighborhood where he picked up his living, and took up residence in the lakes and pools. But cleansing his feathers as often as he would, he could not change their color, while through want of food he perished.
Change of habit cannot alter Nature.

(4)老鼠和公牛(a mouse and a bull)
A mouse once took a bite out of a bull's tail as he lay dozing. The bull jumped up in a rage and, with his head low to the ground, chased the mouse right across the yard. The mouse was too quick for him, however, and slipped easily into a hole in the wall. The bull charged the wall furiously again and again, but although he bruised his head and chipped his horns, the mouse stayed safely inside his hole. After a time the bull gave up and sank down to rest again. As soon as the bull was asleep, the little mouse crept to the mouth of the hole, pattered across the yard, bit the bull again -- this time on the nose -- and rushed back to safety. As the bull roared helplessly the mouse squeaked: "It's not always the big people who come off best. Sometimes the small ones win, you know." 老鼠和公牛 有一次，公牛躺着打盹，一只老鼠咬了他的尾巴。公牛怒气冲冲地跳起来，低着头追老鼠，一直追过院子。然而，老鼠跑得比他快多了，从容地钻到墙洞里去了。 公牛一次又一次地猛撞墙壁，尽管头撞肿了，角撞裂了，老鼠却安然待在洞里。过了一会儿，公牛不撞了，倒下歇着。 公牛刚睡着，小老鼠就爬到洞口，嗒嗒地跑过院子，又咬了公牛一口 老鼠这回咬了鼻子 老 又跑回安全的地方去。当公牛毫无办法地吼叫时，老鼠吱吱叫道： "大人物并不总占上风。有时小人物也会取胜。"
