译文：

眼见为实

一天，百兽让一只小猫去看看他的宫殿建筑得怎么样。几个小时之后，小猫回来了，对大老虎说：“您的宫殿十分大，又高又美丽。”几天后，大老虎又让一只猪去看看。他说：“去看看我的宫殿建筑得如何。”但是，猪回来之后却对大老虎说：“友爱的国王陛下，虽然您的宫殿很美丽，但是它只容得下您自己。”

大老虎听到这些话感到很吃惊。“为什么猫和猪说的话不一样呢?”大老虎自语着。然后他又让一头骆驼去看一看。骆驼很快便气喘吁吁地跑回来了，它对大老虎说：“我的国王，您的宫殿对于您来说，实在是太小了，都没法住。”当大老虎听到骆驼所说的话时，变得十分愤怒。他愤怒地对动物们说：“你们三个人中有人说谎了，三个人有三个意见。我要处死你们。”就在这时，一只狐狸过来阻挡大老虎那样做。他哀求大老虎在杀他们之前，自己亲手去看看。大老虎亲手看完宫殿后，认为他们的答案都是对的。他对动物们说：“眼见为实，耳听为虚。”

译文：

狼和狐狸想要吃掉兔子，但是这只兔子太难抓到了。

一天，狼对狐狸说：“你回家假装躺在床上。我去告知兔子你已经死了。当他来看你的时候，你就能够跳起来抓住他了。”“真是个好想法!”狐狸说。

于是他立即回到家。狼去兔子的房前敲了敲门，“是谁啊?”兔子问道。“狼，我是来告知你狐狸已经死了。”说完狼就走开了。

兔子去狐狸家看状况。他利用狐狸家的窗户看到闭着眼睛的狐狸躺在床上。他想，狐狸是真的死了，还是在假装呢?假如他没有死，那么我走近他就会被他抓住。于是他说：“狼说狐狸死了。但是他看起来并不像死掉了呀。死去的狐狸通常都是张着嘴的。”狐狸听到这些话就想：我得证实自己是真的死了。于是他张开了嘴巴。

这时兔子知道狐狸并没有死，他就以最快的速度跑开啦。

初雪飘飘，真美啊!它整日整夜悄悄地飘着，落在山岭上，落在草地上，落在生者的屋顶上，落在死者的坟墓上!在一片白茫茫之中，惟独河流在漂亮的画面上勾勒出一道弯弯曲曲的黑线;还有那光秃秃的树木，衬托着灰蒙蒙的天空，更显得枝丫交叉，姿势万千。初雪飘零时，是多么的安谧，多么的安详!一切的声响都趋寂静，一切噪音都化作严厉的音乐。没有了嗒嗒的马蹄声，也听不见滚滚的车轮声!惟独雪橇的铃铛奏出和睦的乐曲，那明快快乐的节奏像孩子的心在跳跃。
