     ;No�察  �indeed�察─  �said   the   willow´tree�察   �I   never   speak   to   strangers。   Go 

away。; 

     The   poor   little   bird   did   not   know   where   to   go�察  �but   he   hopped   and 

fluttered along with his broken wing。 Presently the spruce´tree saw him�察�

and said�察 �Where are you going�察�little bird�拭─�

     ;I do not know�察─�said the bird�察 �the trees will not let me live with them�察�

and my wing is broken so that I cannot fly。; 

     ;You may live on one of my branches�察─�said the spruce�察 �here is the 

warmest one of all。; 

     ;But may I stay all winter�拭─�

     ;Yes�察─�said the spruce�察 �I shall like to have you。; 

     The pine´tree stood beside the spruce�察�and when he saw the little bird 

hopping   and   fluttering   with   his   broken   wing�察 �he said�察   �My  branches   are 

not very warm�察�but I can keep the wind off because I am big and strong。; 

     So the little bird fluttered up into the warm branch of the spruce�察�and 

the pine´tree kept the wind off his house�察�then the juniper´tree saw what 

was going on�察�and said that she would give the little bird his dinner all the 

winter�察�from her branches。 Juniper berries are very good for little birds。 

     The little bird was very comfortable in his warm nest sheltered from 

the wind�察�with juniper berries to eat。 

     The trees at the edge of the forest remarked upon it to each other�此�

     ;I wouldn't take care of a strange bird�察─�said the birch。 

     ;I wouldn't risk my acorns�察─�said the oak。 

     ;I would not speak to strangers�察─�said the willow。 And the three trees 

stood up very tall and proud。 

     That night the North Wind came to the woods to play。 He puffed at the 

leaves with his icy breath�察�and every leaf he touched fell to the ground。 He 

wanted to touch every leaf in the forest�察�for he loved to see the trees bare。 

     ;May I touch every leaf�拭─�he said to his father�察�the Frost King。 

     ;No�察─�said the Frost King�察 �the trees which were kind to the bird with 

the broken wing may keep their leaves。; 

     So North Wind had to leave them alone�察�and the spruce�察�the pine�察�and

the   juniper´tree   kept   their   leaves   through   all   the   winter。  And   they   have 

done so ever since。 



     THE STAR DOLLARS��1�А�



     ��1�А�Adapted from Grimms' Fairy Tales。 

       There was once a little girl who was very�察�very poor。 Her father and 

mother had died�察�and at last she had no little room to stay in�察�and no little 

bed to sleep in�察�and nothing more to eat except one piece of bread。 So she 

said a prayer�察�put on her little jacket and her hood�察�and took her piece of 

bread in her hand�察�and went out into the world。 

     When she had walked a little way�察�she met an old man�察�bent and thin。 

He looked at the piece of bread in her hand�察�and said�察 �Will you give me 

your bread�察�little girl�拭�I am very hungry。; The little girl said�察 �Yes�察─�and 

gave him her piece of bread。 

     When she had walked a little farther she came upon a child�察�sitting by 

the path�察�crying。 ;I am so cold� ─�said the child。 ;Won't you give me your 

little hood�察�to keep my head warm�拭─�The little girl took off her hood and 

tied it on the child's head。 Then she went on her way。 

     After   a   time�察  �as   she   went�察  �she   met   another   child。   This   one   shivered 

with the cold�察�and she said to the little girl�察 �Won't you give me your jacket�察�

little girl�拭─�And the little girl gave her her jacket。 Then she went on again。 

     By´and´by      she   saw   another    child�察 �crouching     almost   naked    by   the 

wayside。 ;O little girl�察─�said the child�察 �won't you give me your dress�拭�I 

have nothing to keep me warm。; So the little girl took off her dress and 

gave it to the other child。 And now she had nothing left but her little shirt。 

It grew dark�察�and the wind was cold�察�and the little girl crept into the woods�察�

to sleep for the night。 But in the woods a child stood�察�weeping and naked。 

;I am cold�察─�she said�察 �give me your little shirt� ─�And the little girl thought�察�

;It is dark�察�and the woods will shelter me�察�I will give her my little shirt;�察�

so she did�察�and now she had nothing left in all the world。 

     She stood looking up at the sky�察�to say her night´time prayer。 As she 

looked up�察�the whole skyful of stars fell in a shower round her feet。 There

they were�察�on the ground�察�shining bright�察�and round。 The little girl saw that 

they were silver dollars。 And in the midst of them was the finest little shirt�察�

all woven out of silk� �The little girl put on the little silk shirt�察�and gathered 

the star dollars�察�and she was rich�察�all the days of her life。 



     THE LION AND THE GNAT��1�А�



     ��1�А�This story has been told by the Rev。 Albert E。 Sims to children in 

many parts of England。 On one occasion it was told to an audience of over 

three thousand children in the Great Assembly Hall�察�Mile End�察�London。 

       Far   away   in   Central Africa�察  �that   vast   land   where   dense   forests   and 

wild    beasts   abound�察    �the  shades    of   night   were   once    more    descending�察�

warning all creatures that it was time to seek repose。 

     All day long the sun had been like a great burning eye�察�but now�察�after 

painting     the   western    sky   with   crimson     and   scarlet   and   gold�察  �he   had 

disappeared   into   his   fleecy   bed�察  �the   various   creatures   of   the   forest   had 

sought     their   holes   and   resting´places�察    �the  last  sound     had   rumbled     its 

rumble�察  �the   last   bee   had   mumbled   his   mumble�察  �and   the   last   bear   had 

grumbled   his   grumble�察  �even   the   grasshoppers   that   had   been   chirruping�察�

chirruping�察  �through       all  the   long   hours   without   a   pause�察  �at   length  had 

ceased their shrill music�察�tucked up their long legs�察�and given themselves 

to slumber。 

     There   on   a   nodding   grass´blade�察  �a   tiny   Gnat   had   made   a   swinging 

couch�察�and he too had folded his wings�察�closed his tiny eyes�察�and was fast 

asleep。  Darker�察  �darker�察�darker   became  the   night   until   the  darkness   could 

almost     be   felt�察 �and   over   all  was    a  solemn     stillness  as   though    some 

powerful   finger   had   been   raised�察  �and   some   potent   voice   had   whispered�察�

;HUSH� ─�

     Just   when   all   was   perfectly   still�察  �there   came   suddenly   from   the   far 

away depths of the forest�察�like the roll of thunder�察�a mighty ROARRR 

R� �

     In a moment all the beasts and birds were wide awake�察�and the poor 

little Gnat was nearly frightened out of his little senses�察�and his little heart

went pit´a´pat。 He rubbed his little eyes with his feelers�察�and then peered 

all around trying to penetrate the deep gloom as he whispered in terror 

;WHATWASTHAT�拭─�

     What do YOU think it was�拭 � 。 。 Yes�察�a LION� �A great�察�big lion who�察�

while most other denizens of the forest slept�察�was out hunting for prey。 He 

came   rushing   and   crashing   through   the   thick   undergrowth   of   the   forest�察�

swirling his long tail and opening wide his great jaws�察�and as he rushed he 

RO´AR´R´R´ED� �

     Presently he reached the spot where the little Gnat hung panting at the 

tip of the waving grass´blade。 Now the little Gnat was not afraid of lions�察�

so when he saw it was only a lion�察�he cried out 

     ;Hi�察�stop�察�stop� �What are you making that horrible noise about�拭─�

     The   Lion   stopped   short�察  �then   backed   slowly   and   regarded   the   Gnat 

with scorn。
