Dick Whittington and his Cat
There was once a poor boy named Dick Whittington who lived in a village without
parents. He had heard stories about a big city called London where everybody was rich;
London streets were paved with gold. He wanted to go there.
One day, he met a friendly wagoner who gave him a lift to the city. He was amazed at
that big city. Unfortunately, he couldn’t find any gold on the street. He had no money and ate
no food few days. He collapsed in front of a kind rich merchant’s house.
The merchant gave him a job in his kitchen. But a cook didn’t like him; he used to
beat and pinch him. Dick Whittington had to sleep in a tiny room with many rats and mice
which bothered him every night. Then, he decided to buy a cat by using his saving. Luckily,
that clever cat was very good at catching mice and rats.
One day, the merchant would go on a long voyage and sell everything on his ship.
Dick Whittington asked the merchant to help him sell his cat. After arriving in a destination,
the merchant was invited by King and Queen to a feast. However, hundreds of rats gobbled
all of food there. The merchant offered the clever cat to help King solve his problem.
King was very happy. He gave the merchant a ship full of gold in return. Finally, the
merchant gave all of the gold to Dick Whittington. He spent money wisely and helped people.

THE WOLF AND THE LAMB

          A lamb was grazing with a flock of sheep one day. She soon found some sweet grass at
the edge of the field. Farther and farther she went, away from the others.          
          She was enjoying herself so much that she did not notice a wolf coming nearer to her.
However, when it pounced on her, she was quick to start pleading, “Please, please don’t eat
me yet. My stomach is full of grass. If you wait a while, I will taste much better.” The wolf
thought that was a good idea, so he sat down and waited.
          After a while, the lamb said, “If you allow me to dance, the grass in my stomach will
be digested faster.” Again the wolf agreed. While the lamb was dancing, she had a new idea.
She said, “Please take the bell from around my neck. If you ring it as hard as you can, I will
be able to dance even faster.
          The wolf took the bell and rang it as hard as he could. The shepherd heard the bell
ringing and quickly sent his dogs to find the missing lamb. The barking dogs frightened the
wolf away and saved the lamb’s life.

Terjemahan:

Serigala Dan Anak Domba

        Pada suatu hari, Domba sedang merumput dengan para kawanan domba. Dia segera
menemukan beberapa rumput manis di pinggir lapangan. Semakin jauh ia pergi, jauh dari
yang lain.
          Dia terlalu asyik sehingga dia tidak melihat serigala mendekat padanya. Namun,
ketika menerkam, dia cepat mulai memohon, “Tolong, tolong jangan makan saya belum.
Perutku penuh rumput. Jika Anda menunggu beberapa saat, saya akan terasa jauh lebih
baik. “
          Serigala pikir itu adalah ide yang baik, jadi ia duduk dan menunggu. Setelah beberapa
saat, anak domba berkata, “Jika Anda mengizinkan saya untuk menari, rumput di saya perut
akan dicerna lebih cepat. “Sekali lagi serigala setuju. Sementara anak domba menari, dia
punya ide baru. Dia mengatakan, “Silakan mengambil bel dari leherku. Jika Anda
membunyikannya sekeras mungkin, saya akan bisa menari lebih cepat. “

          Serigala mengambil bel dan membunyikannya sekeras yang dia bisa. Gembala
mendengar bel berdering dan cepat dikirim anjing untuk menemukan domba yang hilang.
Anjing menggonggong takut serigala itu dan menyelamatkan nyawa domba.
