Entre chiens et chats
Cette histoire se passe il y a bien longtemps. Un hiver terrible s’abat sur le monde. Tous les animaux souffrent du froid et de la faim, chacun cherche un refuge pour se réchauffer un peu.
Le hasard fait que le peuple des chiens et le peuple des chats découvrent en même temps l’entrée d'une grotte.
- J’ai découvert cette grotte le premier, déclare le roi des chats. Elle portera mon nom et sera réservée à mon peuple.
- Pas question, rétorque le roi des chiens. Je suis arrivé avant toi…
- Alors, ce sera la guerre entre nos peuples ! proclame le roi des chats.

        战国的时候，有一个很伟大的大学问家孟子。孟子小的时候非常调皮,他的妈妈为了让他受好的教育. 花了很多心血。当他们住在墓地旁边时，孟子就邻居的小孩一起学着大人跪拜、哭嚎的样子,玩起办理丧事的游戏。妈妈看到了，就皱起眉头说:"不行!我不能让我的孩子住在这里了。”于是带看孟子搬到市集旁边去住。
        到了市集,孟子又和邻居的小孩,学起商人做生意的样子。一会儿鞠躬欢迎客人、一会儿招待客人、 一会儿和客人讨价还价，表演得像极了! 妈妈知道了，又皱起眉头说：“这个地方也不适合我的孩子住。”
        他们又搬家了，这一次搬到了学校附近。孟子开始变得守秩序、懂礼貌、喜欢读书。这个时候，孟子的妈妈很满意地点着头说 :“这才是我儿子应该住的地方呀!”
