　　一、磋来之食

　　One year, there was a great famine in the State of Qi.

　　A rich man named Qian Ao set up a stall by the roadside with lots of food, waiting for hungry people to come to give it in charity.

　　The man raised his head suddenly, opening his eyes wide and said angrily: "It is exactly because I don't want to take this kind of hand-out food given by people shouting charity that I have starved to such an extent!"

　　As soon as Qian Ao heard this, he quickly apologized to the man.

　　But eventually the man starved to death because he was unwilling to take the food.

　　二、夜郎自大

　　The King of Dian asked the emissary from the Han Dynasty: "The Han Dynasty and the State of Dian, which is bigger?"

　　As a matter of fact, the territories of the State of Dian and the State of Yelang were only as big as a prefecture of the Han Dynasty, but they closed their states to the external contact, shut their eyes and stopped their ears, and didn't understand the conditions of the outside world. Naturally, they didn't know how vast the Han Dynasty was.

　　其实，滇国和夜郎国的疆土，只有汉朝的一个州那么大，可是他们闭关自守，闭目塞听，不了解外界的情况，自然也就不知道汉朝的广大了。

　　The girl's parents considered the matter from different angles,but were unable to come to a decision. So they called the girl andlet her make her own decision.

　　Seeing the daughter lower her head, blushing and shy, the father said: "If you are too shy to tell your decision, you can do it by exposing your arms. If you like the son of the family on the east, expose your right arm; if you like the son of the family on the west, expose your left arm."

　　"I…’ the girl said bashfully. "I want to dine in the family on the east, and sleep in the family on the west."
