1、That man knows the future

Nasreddin was cutting a branch of a tree in his garden.While he was sawing, another man passed in the street.He stopped and said, 'Excuse me, but if you continue to saw that branch like that, you will fall down with it.' He said this because Nasreddin was sitting on the branch and cutting it at a place between himself and the trunk of the tree.Nasreddin said nothing.He thought, 'This is some foolish person who has no work to do and goes about telling other people what to do and what not to do.' The man continued on his way.Of course, after a few minutes, the branch fell and Nasreddin fell with it.'My God!' he cried.'That man knows the future!' and he ran after him to ask how long he was going to live.But the man had gone.2、You'll soon get used to it?

An old man died and left his son a lot of money.But the son was a foolish young man, and he quickly spent all the money, so that soon he had nothing left.Of course, when that happened, all his friends left him.When he was quite poor and alone, he went to see Nasreddin, who was a kind, clever old man and often helped people when they had troubles.'My money has finished and my friends have gone,' said the young man.'What will happen to me now?' 'Don't worry, young man,' answered Nasreddn.'Everything will soon be all right again.Wait, and you will soon feel much happier.' The young man was very glad.'Am I going to get rich again then?' he asked Nasreddin.'No, I didn't mean that,' said the old man.'I meant that you would soon get used to being poor and to having no friends.'

Nasreddin put two big baskets of grapes on his donkey and went to market.At midday it was very hot, so he stopped in the shade of a big tree.There were several other men there, and all of them had donkeys and baskets of grapes too.After their lunch they went to sleep.After some time, Nasreddin began to take grapes out of the other men's baskets and to put them in his.Suddenly one of the men woke up and saw him.'What are you doing?' he said angrily.'Oh,' said Nasreddin, don't worry about me.I am half mad, and I do a lot of strange things.'

'Oh, really?' said the other man.'Then why don't you sometimes take grapes out of your baskets and put them in somebody else's baskets?'

'You did not understand me,' said Nasreddin.I said，that I was half mad, not quite mad.' 外语下载中心http://down.tingroom.com

纳斯瑞丁将两大筐葡萄放在他的毛驴背上，赶着驴向市场去。中午时，天气很炎热，他在一颗大树的树荫下停了下来。那里还有几个人，他们都带着毛驴并驮着一筐筐葡萄。吃完中饭后，这些人就睡觉了。过了一会儿，纳斯瑞丁就开始从别人筐里拿葡萄往自己筐里放。

突然，一个人醒来并看见了他在干这件事。“你在干什么？”他愤怒地说。

“哦，”纳斯瑞丁说：“不要为我担心，我是个半疯子，而且常常做一些奇怪的事。”

“啊，是吗？”另一个人说：“那么你为什么不有时从你的筐中拿葡萄往别人筐里放呢？”

“你还没明白我的话，”纳斯瑞丁说：“我说我只是个半疯，并不是全疯。”

There was a big garden near Nasreddin's house, and it had a lot of fruit trees in it.One day Nasreddin saw some beautiful apples on one of them.He went home and got a ladder, put it against the high wall of the garden and climbed up.Then he pulled the ladder up, put it down on the other side, and climbed down into the garden.Just then a gardener came round a corner and saw him.'What are you doing here?' he shouted.Nasreddin thought quickly and then said, 11 am selling my ladder.'

'Selling your ladder? In somebody else's garden? Do you think I believe such a stupid story?' said the gardener and came towards Nasreddin with a stick.'It is my ladder,' said Nasreddin, 'and I can sell it where I like.You needn't buy it if you don't want to.' And he took his ladder and climbed over the wall again.靠近纳斯瑞丁的家有一座大花园，花园中有很多果树。一天，纳斯瑞丁看见一颗果树上有些苹果长得很好。他就回家去拿了一个梯子，把梯子靠在花园的高墙上后就爬了上去。然后拿起梯子，把它放在墙那边，下了梯子就进了花园。正好这时，花园的园丁从墙角转过来看见了他。外语下载中心http://down.tingroom.com

“你在这里干些什么？”花园的园丁叫喊道。

纳斯瑞丁很快想了想，然后说道：“我正在卖我的梯子呢。”

“卖你的梯子？在别人的花园里卖梯子？你认为我会相信这种蠢话吗？”说着，花园的园丁拿着根棍子向纳斯瑞丁走来。

“这是我的梯子，”纳斯瑞丁说：“我想在哪里卖就在哪里卖。如果你不想要就不买好了。”接着，他拿着梯子又爬过了围墙。

Nasreddin woke up in the middle of the night and saw something white in his garden.It seemed to be moving towards the house.'That is a thief!, he thought, and he took his gun and shot at him.Then he went back to bed, because he was too frightened to go out of the house in the dark.The next morning Nasreddin went out and saw one of his white shirts hanging' on the clothes-line in the garden.His wife had washed it the day before and hung it out to dry.Now it had a bullet-hole right through the middle of it.'My God,' said Nasreddin, 11 was lucky last night.If I had been wearing that shirt, the bullet would have killed me!' And he called his neighbours together and asked them to thank God for saving him.纳斯瑞丁半夜醒来，看见一个白色的东西在他花园里。看起来好像在向屋子这边移动着。

“是贼！”纳斯瑞丁想，接着他拿出枪向贼射击。然后，他又上床睡觉了，因为他害怕，所以不敢在黑暗中走出屋子。

第二天早晨，纳斯瑞丁出来看见他的一件白衬衣挂在花园里的晒衣绳上。是他的妻子前一天将衬衣洗好后挂在外面晾干的。现在在它中间有一个子弹孔正好穿过。

“我的天，”纳斯瑞丁说：“昨夜我真是走运，要是我穿上这件衬衣，子弹就把我打死了！”接着他就把邻居们召集在一起，并要他们一块儿感谢上帝救了他的命。外语下载中心http://down.tingroom.com

When Nasreddin was a boy, he never did what he was told, so his father always told him to do the opposite of what he wanted him to do.One day, when the two were bringing sacks of flour home on their donkeys, they had to cross a shallow river.When they were in the middle of it, one of the sacks on Nasreddin's donkey began to slip, so his father said, 'That sack is nearly in the water!Press down hard on it!'

His father of course expected that he would do the opposite, but this time Nasreddin did what his father had told him to do.He pressed down on the sack and it went under the water.Of course, the flour was lost.'What have you done, Nasreddin?' his father shouted angrily.'Well, Father', said Nasreddin, ,this time I thought that I would do just what you told me, to show you how stupid your orders always are.'

当纳斯瑞丁还是个孩子的时候，他从不照着别人说的去做，所以他爸爸想让他做什么时，总是反着说。

一天，他们俩用毛驴驮着几袋面粉回家时，他们路过必经的一条浅水河。当他们走到河中间时，纳斯瑞丁赶的驴子驮的一个口袋开始滑动，所以他爸爸说：“那个口袋快要滑到水里了！使劲将它向下压！”

纳斯瑞丁的爸爸当然预料他会反着做，但是这一次纳斯瑞丁却照着他爸爸说的做了。他向下压口袋，口袋掉到了水里。当然，面粉也就完了。

“你干了些什么，纳斯瑞丁？”他爸爸生气地叫了起来。

“哦，爸爸，”纳斯瑞丁说：“这一次我想我偏要照你说的做，让你看看你的指挥一向是多么愚蠢。”

Nasreddin had lost his donkey.He was going about looking for it everywhere, and while he was looking, he was singing gaily.One of his neighbours saw him and said, 'Hullo, Nasreddin.What are you doing?' 外语下载中心http://down.tingroom.com

'I am looking for my donkey,' answered Nasreddin.'Don't you know where it is?' asked the neighbour.'No, I don't.'

'Then why are you singing so gaily? Usually when somebody loses something, he is sad.'

'Yes, that is quite true,' answered Nasreddin.'But you see, I am not yet sure that my donkey is lost.My last hope is that it is behind that hill over there.If you wait a little, you will hear how I will cry and complain if it is not there!'

纳斯瑞丁的毛驴丢了。他四处寻找，并且一边找一边高兴地唱着歌。

一个邻居看见他这副样子，就问：“喂，纳斯瑞丁，你在干嘛？”

“我正在找我的毛驴呢，”纳斯瑞丁回答。

“你不知道驴子在哪儿吗？”邻居问道。

“我不知道。”

“那么，你为什么还这么高兴地唱着歌呢？通常人们丢失了东西时总是很悲伤的。”

“是的，你说的很对，”纳斯瑞丁回答说：“但是你要知道，我并没有认为我的驴子确实已经丢了。我的最后一个希望是驴就在那边的那座山后面。如果驴不在那里的话，等一会儿，你就会听到我是怎样的哭喊和抱怨了。”

One winter Nasreddin had very little money.His crops had been very bad that year, and he had to live very cheaply.He gave his donkey less food, and when after two days the donkey looked just the same, he said to himself, 'The donkey was used to eating a lot.Now he is quickly getting used to eating less;and soon he will got used to living on almost nothing.'

Each day Nasreddin gave.the donkey a little less food, until it was hardly eating anything.外语下载中心http://down.tingroom.com

一年冬天，纳斯瑞丁身上只有很少一点钱了。这年他的庄稼长得很不好，他只得十分节省地过日子。他给驴子喂的食料比过去少了。两天以后，驴子看起来和往日一样，纳斯瑞丁就自言自语地说：“这头驴过去习惯于吃得很多，现在它很快就适应吃得比过去少了；很快它就会适应几乎什么都不吃了。”

以后，纳斯瑞丁每天一点一点地减少喂驴的食料，直到这驴几乎什么都不吃。

后来有一天，当这驴子驮着一驮木头赶集去的时候，它突然死了。“我真是太倒霉了，”纳斯瑞丁说：“就在我的驴子刚刚适应几乎什么都不用吃时，它在这世上却又活到头了。

纳斯瑞丁回答说：“你说的可太不对了，亲爱的。我们的孩子是个不同寻常的孩子。他用七天而不是九个月来到世上，所以从现在起几星期以后，他一定会愿意学习识字和写字了。”

Some of Nasreddin's old friends were talking about the young people in their town.They all agreed that old people were wiser than young people.Then one of the old men said, 'But young men are stronger than old men.'

All of them agreed that this was true, except Nasreddin.He said, 'No.I am as strong now as when I was a young man.'

'What do you mean?' said his friends.'How is that possible? Explain yourself!'

'Well,' said Nasreddin, 'in one corner of my field there is a rock.When I was a young man I used to try to move it, but I couldn't because I was not strong enough.I am an old man now, and when I try to move it, I still cannot.' 1.Who were talking at the beginning of this story?

纳斯瑞丁和一些老朋友正在谈论着他们镇上的年青人。他们一致认为老年人比年青人更有智慧。后来有位老人说：“不过年青人要比老年人力气大。”

他们都承认这是事实，但纳斯瑞丁除外。他说：“不，我现在的力气和我年青时一样大。”

“这话是什么意思呢？”他的朋友们说：“这可能吗？你解释一下！”

“哦，”纳斯瑞丁说：“我田里的一个角落里有一块石头。我年青时常常使劲把它挪走，但是我挪不动它，因为我只有那点力气。现在我老了，当我使劲把它挪走时，我还是挪不动它。”

When Nasreddin's first wife died, he married again.His second wife was much younger than he was and they often quarrelled.One evening when Nasreddin came home very late, his wife said to him, 'I cooked your dinner two hours ago.It is quite spoiled now.' She was so angry that she gave him a push, and as she was strong, and he was old and weak, he fell down the stairs.One of Nasreddin's neighbours, who was always eager to know what was happening in everybody else's house, was listening, and when she heard the noise that Nasreddin made when he fell down the stairs, she came to his front door and knocked.'What has happened?' she said.'My coat fell down the stairs,' he answered.'But a coat would not make so much noise!' the neighbour said.'Of course it would,' answered Nasreddin, 'if I was inside it!' 1.What happened when Nasreddin's first wife died?
