A hare was very popular with the other animals who all said they were her friendsBut one day she heard the hounds(猎犬)getting close and hoped to escape them by the aid of her many friendsSoshe went to the horseand asked him to carry her away from the hounds on his backBut he refusedbecause he had important work to do for his masterHe felt sure that all her other friends would come to help her

She then came to the bulland hoped that he would repel the hounds with his horns (角).The bull replied"I am very sorrybut I have an appointment with a ladybut I feel sure that our friend the goat will do what you want" The goathoweverfeared that his back might do her some harm if he took her upon itThe sheephe felt surewas the proper friend to ask for help

So she went to the sheep and told him the situationThe sheep replied"Another timemy dear friendI do not like to have anything to do with itas hounds have been known to eat sheep as well as hares"

The hare then wentas a last hopeto the calf (小牛),who regretted that he was unable to help heras he did not like to take the responsibility (责任) upon himselfas so many older persons than himself had refused the taskBy this time the hounds were quite nearand the hare took to her heels and luckily escaped

An American friend has invited you to visit his family. You’ve never been to an American’s home before, and you’re not sure what to do. Should you take a gift? How should you dress? What time should you arrive? What should you do when you get there? Glad you asked. When you’re the guest, you should just make yourself at home. That’s what hospitality(款待) is all about: making people feel at home when they’re not. 

The question of whether or not to bring a gift often makes guests squirm(难为情). Giving your host a gift is not just a social manner in some cultures-it’s expected. But in American culture, a guest is not necessary to bring a present. Of course, some people do bring a small present to their host to show their thanks. The right gifts for the host might be flowers, candy, and you can bring toys if the family has small children. If you choose not to bring a gift, dont worry. No one will even notice.
