【精選書摘】
〈燕子和烏鴉〉
燕子和烏鴉為了「誰的羽毛比較好」而爭執起來。
燕子說：「你全身黑漆漆的，我的羽毛要比你的漂亮多了。」
烏鴉反駁道：「的確，在春日的天空下，你的羽毛看起來非常美麗。但我漆黑的羽毛卻能讓我保暖，度過嚴寒的冬天呀！」
The Swallow and the Crow had a contention about their plumage. The Crow put an end to the dispute by saying,"Your feathers are all very well in the spring, but mine protect me against the winter.��
〈哲人和天神〉
哲人經過海邊，正好目睹一艘船被海浪打翻，船上所有旅客全掉進海裡淹死了。哲人忿忿不平，叨唸著：「天神呀！祢真是太不公平了。只為了懲罰一個罪人，居然要全船的人跟著陪葬！」
哲人說話的當兒，一隻螞蟻爬上他的腳背咬了他一口。哲人痛得舉起腳來朝地上的螞蟻群踩去，許多螞蟻都被他踩死了。
天神現身，並拿出神杖敲打哲人，說：「看看你現在的行為，有什麼資格責備別人呢？」

As he was indulging in these reflections, he found himself surrounded by a whole army of Ants, near to whose nest he was standing. One of them climbed up and stung him, and he immediately trampled them all to death with his foot. Mercury presented himself, and striking the Philosopher with his wand, said,"And are you indeed to make yourself a judge of the dealings of Providence, who hast thyself in a similar manner treated these poor Ants?��
