Aesop for Children (1919)

6. BELLING THE CAT
The Mice once called a meeting to decide on a plan to free themselves of their enemy, the Cat. At least they wished to find some way of knowing when she was coming, so they might have time to run away. Indeed, something had to be done, for they lived in such constant fear of her claws that they hardly dared stir from their dens by night or day.
Many plans were discussed, but none of them was thought good enough. At last a very young Mouse got up and said:
"I have a plan that seems very simple, but I know it will be successful. All we have to do is to hang a bell about the Cat's neck. When we hear the bell ringing we will know immediately that our enemy is coming."
All the Mice were much surprised that they had not thought of such a plan before. But in the midst of the rejoicing over their good fortune, an old Mouse arose and said:
"I will say that the plan of the young Mouse is very good. But let me ask one question: Who will bell the Cat?"
It is one thing to say that something should be done, but quite a different matter to do it.

Các con chuột một lần gọi là một cuộc họp để quyết định một kế hoạch để giải phóng bản thân của kẻ thù của họ, các Cat. Ít nhất là họ muốn tìm một số cách để biết khi nào cô ấy sẽ đến, vì vậy họ có thể có thời gian để chạy trốn. Thật vậy, một cái gì đó phải được thực hiện, vì họ sống trong sợ hãi như móng vuốt của mình rằng họ hầu như không dám khuấy động từ các tụ điểm của mình trong đêm hay ngày.
Nhiều kế hoạch đã được thảo luận, nhưng không ai trong số họ được cho là đủ tốt. Cuối cùng một con chuột rất trẻ đứng dậy và nói:
"Tôi có một kế hoạch mà có vẻ rất đơn giản, nhưng tôi biết nó sẽ thành công. Tất cả chúng ta phải làm là để treo một cái chuông vào cổ mèo. Khi chúng tôi nghe thấy tiếng chuông reo chúng ta sẽ biết ngay lập tức rằng đối thủ của chúng tôi đang đến."
Tất cả các con chuột đã được nhiều ngạc nhiên rằng họ đã không nghĩ đến một kế hoạch như trước đây. Nhưng ở giữa niềm hân hoan trên may mắn của mình, một chuột già đứng dậy và nói:
"Tôi sẽ nói rằng kế hoạch của trẻ Mouse là rất tốt Nhưng cho tôi hỏi một câu hỏi:. Ai sẽ chuông Cát"
Đó là một điều để nói một điều gì đó nên được thực hiện, nhưng một vấn đề hoàn toàn khác nhau để làm điều đó.

A group of mice live happily on a farm, since the farm’s cat is too old and lazy to bother trying to catch them. Things change for the worse when a new cat arrives – she is young and a keen hunter, and as a result mice start disappearing.
The mice have a meeting to discuss the matter. They agree that the problem is that cat’s ability to sneak up on them unheard. A young mouse proposes a plan to tie a bell around the cat’s neck. All the mice agree that this is a great plan, until they find that none of them wants to take on the task of placing the bell on the cat.

Một nhóm các con chuột sống hạnh phúc trong một trang trại, kể từ khi con mèo của trang trại là quá cũ và lười biếng để bận tâm cố gắng để bắt chúng. Mọi thứ thay đổi cho tồi tệ hơn khi một con mèo mới đến - cô là một thợ săn trẻ và quan tâm, và kết quả là những con chuột bắt đầu biến mất.
Những con chuột có một cuộc họp để thảo luận về vấn đề này. Họ đồng ý rằng vấn đề là khả năng của con mèo mà lẻn lên trên chúng không nghe. Một con chuột trẻ đề nghị một kế hoạch để buộc một cái chuông quanh cổ của con mèo. Tất cả các con chuột đồng ý rằng đây là một kế hoạch tuyệt vời, cho đến khi họ thấy rằng không ai trong số họ muốn đưa vào nhiệm vụ đặt chuông vào con mèo.

Aesop for Children (1919)

32. THE ANTS AND THE GRASSHOPPER
One bright day in late autumn a family of Ants were bustling about in the warm sunshine, drying out the grain they had stored up during the summer, when a starving Grasshopper, his fiddle under his arm, came up and humbly begged for a bite to eat.
"What!" cried the Ants in surprise, "haven't you stored anything away for the winter? What in the world were you doing all last summer?"
"I didn't have time to store up any food," whined the Grasshopper; "I was so busy making music that before I knew it the summer was gone."
The Ants shrugged their shoulders in disgust.
"Making music, were you?" they cried. "Very well; now dance!" And they turned their backs on the Grasshopper and went on with their work.
There's a time for work and a time for play.

13. THE ANT AND Tl-IE
GRASSI-IOPPER

By Rob John

One hot summer's day a Grass-
hopper sat on a blade of grass
enjoying the sunshine.
‘What a ﬁne day,‘ he said. ‘The
sun's shining and I've got as much
grass as I can eat.‘
The Grasshopper spent the whole
moming stufﬁng his face until he
couldn't eat another thing.
‘Right,’ he said. ‘Now I'll make
some music.’
He rubbed his back legs against
his wings and made a loud buzzing
sound.
‘Lovely,’ said the Grasshopper.
‘Nothing better than the sound of a
happy Grasshopper.’
‘Give it a rest,‘ said a passing Ant.
‘what?’ said the Grasshopper.
‘I'm trying to work here,‘ said the
Ant. ‘You're giving me a headache.’

‘You don't like my music?’ said the
Grasshopper.
‘Not my kind of thing,’ said the Ant.
‘Anyway ain't got time to stand
around talking about music. Got
stuff to do.’
‘Stuff?’ said the Grasshopper. ‘What
stuff have you got to do on a lovely
sunny moming like this?’
‘Gotta get this food shifted,‘ said
the Ant.
The Grasshopper notioed that the
Ant was dragging along a huge ear
of oom.
‘That looks like hard work, mate,‘
said the Grasshopper.
‘Tell me about it,’ said the Ant.
‘What you doing with it?’ said the
Grasshopper.
‘Taking it to our nest,‘ said the Ant.
‘What're you doing that for?’
‘Food for the winter' said the Ant.

‘Gotta get ready for the winter.‘
‘Why?’ said the Grasshopper.
‘Winter won't oome for ages. won't
be winter till...the winter. It's
summer now. Why worry about the
winter?’
‘We always won'y about the winter.’
said the Ant. ‘We spend all summer
gathering up food for the winter.
It's what we Ants do.’
‘It's not what Grasshoppers do,‘
said the Grasshopper. ‘We Grass-
hoppers know how to enjoy the
summer. Eat...sleep...make some
cool music...It's a ﬁne life. We
Grasshoppers know how to live,
see.’
‘Right,’ said the Ant. ‘I'll leave you
to it.’
‘Don't go Ant, mate,’ said the
Grasshopper. ‘Stick around. Pass
the day with me.’
‘Sorry.’ said the Ant. ‘Like I said, I
got stuff to do.’
The Ant dragged his ear of com
and struggled off across the ﬁeld.
‘Please yourself,’ called the Grass- 2
hopper. ‘I'm not bothered. I got
stuff to do too. Got all this grass
to eat. Got the sun to enjoy. Not
gonna waste a lovely day like this
talking to Ants.’
‘Have you ever seen a more silly
creature than an Ant?’ shouted the
grasshopper.
It was winter. The Grasshopper was
oold. Too cold to hop. Too oold to
make his music. And he was hungry.
He'd spent all day looking for some-
thing to eat. Suddenly he saw the Ant.
‘Hello Ant,’ he shivered. ‘Remember
me?’
‘Yep,’ said the Ant.
‘Cold,’ isn't it,’ said the Grasshopper.
‘Nioe and warm in our nest,’ said
the Ant.
‘Not so much to eat now is there,’
said the Grasshopper
‘We've got plenty,‘ said the Ant.
‘Our store rooms are full of seeds
and oorn. Got loads of food. Enough
to see us safely through to Spring.’
