One morning Raman, a true master of the art of archery(箭术), invited his favorite student to watch a display of his skill. The student had  36 this more than a hundred times before, but he still obeyed his  37 .
Together, they went into a nearby wood and reached a tall  38 . Raman picked a rose flower and   39 it on one of the branches of the tree. He  40 opened his bag and took out three objects: his   41 , an arrow and a white handkerchief.
Raman stood one hundred paces from the spot where he had placed the  42 . Facing his target, he  43 his student to blindfold(蒙住眼睛) him with the handkerchief. The student did as his teacher   44 .
“How often have you seen me practice the sport of archery?” Raman asked him  45 .
“Every day,” replied his student. “And you have  46 managed to hit the rose from three hundred paces away.”
With his eyes covered by the  47 , Raman placed his feet firmly on the ground and  48 the bowstring(弓弦) with all his strength. Aiming at the rose on the  49 , he let the arrow fly. The arrow whistled through the air,   50 it did not even hit the tree, missing the target by a few meters.
“Did I  51 it?” said Raman, removing the handkerchief from his eyes.
“No, you missed   52 ,” replied the student. “I thought you were going to  53 me the power of thought and your ability to perform magic.”
“I have  54 taught you the most important lesson about the power of thought.” replied Raman. “When you  55 something, concentrate only on that: No one will ever hit a target they cannot see.”

下面是几则寓言小故事：

An ant went to the bank of a river to quench its thirst, and being carried away by the rush of the stream, was on the point of drowning. A dove sitting on a tree overhanging the water plucked a leaf and let it fall into the stream close to her. The ant climbed onto it and floated in safety to the bank. Shortly afterwards a birdcatcher came and stood under the tree, aiming at the dove. The ant, perceiving his design, stung him in the foot. In pain the birdcatcher shouted, and the noise made the dove take wing.

Two men were travelling together, when a bear suddenly met them on their path. One of them climbed up quickly into a tree and hid himself in the branches. The other, seeing that he must be attacked, fell flat on the ground, and when the bear came up and felt him with his snout, and smelt him all over, he held his breath, and pretended to be dead as much as he could. The bear soon left him, for he will not touch a dead body. When he disappeared, the other traveller descended from the tree, and asked his friend what it was the bear had whispered in his ear. “He gave me this advice,” his companion replied. “Never travel with a friend who deserts you at the approach of danger.”

A prince had some monkeys trained to dance. Being naturally good at learning, they showed themselves excellent pupils, and in their rich clothes and masks, they danced as well as any of the courtiers. Their performance was often repeated with great applause, till on one occasion a courtier, bent on mischief, took from his pocket a handful of nuts and threw them upon the stage. The monkeys at the sight of the nuts forgot their dancing and became (as indeed they were) monkeys instead of actors. Pulling off their masks and tearing their robes, they fought with one another for the nuts. The dancing spectacle thus came to an end in the laughter and ridicule of the audience.

A cock was once strutting up and down the farmyard among the hens when suddenly he noticed something shining in the straw. "Ho! ho!" said he, "that’s for me," and soon rooted it out from beneath the straw. It turned out to be a pearl that by some chance had been lost in the yard. “You may be a treasure,” signed the cock, “to man, but for me I would rather have a single barley-corn.”

An old man on the point of death summoned his sons around him to give them some parting advice. He ordered his servants to bring in a bunch of sticks, and said to his eldest son: "Break it." The son tried hard, but with all his efforts was unable to break the bundle. The other sons also tried, but none of them was successful. “Untie it,” said the father, “and each of you take a stick.” When they had done so, he called out to them: “Now, break,” and each stick was easily broken.

I want to tell you a story that changed my life many years ago. We were living in College Station, Texas and my wife and I were on our way home from Houston, Texas one Saturday morning. We decided to stop at a local restaurant to get something to eat since we had enough time. When we finished, we got back into our car and before I started it, we noticed a homeless man standing in front of the building. His clothes were worn and it looked as though he didn’t have any money. It was cold and I was sure he wanted something warm to drink; however, it was not this that I remember, because that is not what "moved" me. A dog was also walking up to the front of the building. Being a dog owner, I knew that the dog was a mother, and that she had just had some pups (小狗). She was hungry and weak and I felt bad for her. I knew if she didn’t eat soon, she and her pups would not live. People walking by didn’t even notice her. She was not as pretty and clean as most dogs, but she still deserved (值得) better. We still did not do anything, but someone else did. The homeless man, who I thought could not afford anything to eat, went into the store and bought dog food with all the money he had.
