English story 7

一位老妇人的老猫因年迈无法捕杀老鼠,这让老妇人非常生气并开始殴打老猫。老猫请求老妇人不要如此无情,并提醒她回想老猫年轻时曾为她做了许多工作。
									The old cat
	An old woman had a cat. The cat was very old; she could not run quickly, and she could not bite, because she was so old.
	One day the old cat saw a mouse; she jumped and caught the mouse. But she could not bite it; so the mouse got out of her mouth and ran away, because the cat could not bite it. 
	Then the old woman became very angry because the cat had not killed the mouse. She began to hit the cat. The cat said, "Do not hit your old servant. I have worked for you for many years, and I would work for you still, but I am too old. Do not be unkind to the old, but remember what good work the old did when they were young."

Once upon a time, there was a small village nestled in the rolling hills of a verdant forest. The villagers lived simple lives, tending to their farms and livestock, and enjoying the many fruits of the forest. However, they were plagued by a ferocious dragon that would fly down from the mountains to terrorize the village, burning their homes and stealing their livestock. The villagers were at a loss of what to do. They had tried everything they could think of to drive the dragon away, but nothing had worked. They had even offered the dragon all of their food and treasure, but the dragon just continued to come back, destroying more and more of their village. One day, a brave young man named Jack decided that enough was enough. He set out to slay the dragon, armed with nothing but his courage and his wits. He journeyed to the dragon's lair, high in the mountains, and confronted the beast. The dragon breathed fire and roared, but Jack was not afraid. He knew that the dragon was not truly evil, but was simply confused and angry. So he spoke to the dragon, telling it that he understood why it was angry and that he wanted to help. The dragon was taken aback by Jack's words, and it listened as he explained how the villagers had been suffering because of its attacks. The dragon felt guilty and ashamed, and it knew that it had to make things right. So it agreed to stop attacking the village, and it flew off into the sunset, never to be seen again. The villagers rejoiced at the news of the dragon's departure and they thanked Jack for his bravery. He became known as the Dragon Slayer, and his name was remembered in the village for generations to come. The village lived in peace and prosperity, and the forest grew lush and bountiful once more.
