Once upon a time, there was a man named Naboth, who had a very nice vineyard. Heinherited1 the vineyard from his father, he got a lot of money from it.
One day the king passed by the vineyard, he found the yard was so beautiful that he wanted to have it. So he went to Naboth and asked, "Would you sell the whole vineyard to me? I can pay you some money." "I'm very sorry. It is a heritage2 of my family, I can't give it to you at any price," said Naboth. The king told her the story. The queen said, "You forget you are the king! Let me teach you how get it. You can make Naboth an office, then find an excuse and sentence him to death." The king did what the queen said, Naboth died and the king got the vineyard.
When God learned3 about this, he was very angry and said, "The king must be eaten by dogs, and the queen must be eaten by big birds. They are not good people, they take the things which are not theirs." At last, people found the king and the queen were dead when they went out for a picenic.
怪物和獵人
Long ago, there lived a huge monster. The monster looked like a human, but had a large body and much hair. His eye was in the middle of his forehead.
People were really afraid of this monster. That is because the monster ate up people. The people did not go neat the woods where the monster lived.
One day, a young hunter went hunting in the woods where the monster lived. He did not know that the monster lived there. He ran into the monster.
The brave hunter took out his arrow1 and shot2 the monster. The monster did not feel any pain and attacked the hunter. “How come he got shot, but he is alright.。.” The hunter shot a few more arrows,but the monster was not injured3 at all. The hunter only had one arrow left.
“That monster has to have a weak spot. Right! It must be that eye.” The hunter shot his last arrow to the monster's eye. The monster was hit. It screamed and fell. The hunter barely4 killed the monster and realized it was the monster that people feared.
“This monster has to be burned so it won't ever bother people again.” The hunter made a fire and turned the monster into ashes. Suddenly, a strong wind came and the ashes turned into an insect.
The insect attacked the hunter and began sucking5 his blood. The hunter ran away from the insect. The ashes became a mosquito6 that still bothers us on a hot summer day.
很久以前，有過一個巨大的怪物。怪物看起來像一個人，但有一個很大的身體和很多毛。他的眼睛長在他額頭中間。
人們真的很害怕這個怪物。這是因為這個怪物會吃人。人們不敢靠近怪物生活的樹林。
有一天，一個年輕的獵人在這個怪物居住的樹林裡打獵。他不知道怪物住在這裡。他跑進了怪物的地盤。
勇敢的獵人拿出了他的箭，並射向這個怪物。怪物沒有感到任何疼痛，並攻擊獵人。“無論它怎麼被射殺，但它還是沒事。.。.。.”獵人又射出了幾箭，但是在這個怪物還是沒有受傷。獵人只剩一隻箭了。
“那怪物一定有一個弱點。對了！一定是它的眼睛。”獵人把他最後的一隻箭射向怪物的眼睛。怪物被射中了。它尖叫著倒下了。獵人好不容易殺死了怪物，然後意識到這就是人們害怕的那隻怪物。
“這個怪物必須燒燬了，然後它就不能再不會打擾人類了。”這個獵人生了火，把怪物化為了灰燼。突然，吹起了一陣奇怪的風，而這些灰燼變成一種昆蟲。
這些昆蟲攻擊獵人，並開始吮吸他的`血。獵人從昆蟲那裡逃走了。這些灰燼變成了蚊子，仍然在每個炎熱的夏天來騷擾我們。
Legends hold that Shu was the king of the south sea. Hu was the king of the North Sea, and Hun Dun was the king of the center.
Shu and Hu often visited Hun Dun's kingdom, and Hun Dun always gave them a feast. Shu and Hu decided1 to reciprocate（報答，互換） his hospitality. They consulted with each other, saying, “Every person has seven apertures4 (eyes, nose, ears and mouth) to see, hear, eat, and breathe, but Hun Dun does not have any. Let's drill the seven apertures（孔徑，開口） for him.”
Then they drilled an aperture3 each day, and on the seventh day, they completed the seven apertures but Hun Dun died.
I am in desperate need of help -- or Ill go crazy. Were living in a single room -- my wife, my children and my in-laws. So our nerves are on edge, we yell and scream at one another. The room is a hell.
Do you promise to do whatever I tell you? said the Master gravely.
I swear I shall do anything.
Very well. How many animals do you have?
A cow, a goat and six chickens.
Take them all into the room with you. Then come back after a week.
The disciple was appalled. But he had promised to obey! So he took the animals in. A week later he came back, a pitiable figure, moaning, Im a nervous wreck. The dirt! The stench! The noise! Were all on the verge of madness!
Go back,said the Master, and put the animals out.
The man ran all the way home. And came back the following day, his eyes sparkling with joy. How sweet life is! The animals are out. The home is a Paradise, so quiet and clean and roomy!
The wolf and the fox want to eat the rabbit, but it wasn't easy to catch him.

The fox goes home at once. The wolf goes to the rabbit's house and knocked3 at the door. "Who is it?" asks the rabbit. "It's the wolf. I come to tell you that the fox is dead." Then the wolf goes away.
The rabbit goes to the fox's house. He looked in through the window and sees the foxlying4 in bed with his eyes closed5. He thinks, "Is the fox really dead or is hepretending6 to be dead? If he's not dead, he'll catch me when I go near him." so hesaid7, "The wolf says that the fox is dead. But he doesn't look like a dead fox. The mouth of a dead fox is always open." When the fox hears this, he thinks, "I'll show him that I'm dead." So he opened his mouth.
The rabbit knows that the fox isn't dead, and he rans away quickly.
