The Trees and the Ax-树与斧头

    The Trees and the Ax
     Once upon a time，  a man came into a forest。  He said to the trees， "Will you give me a piece of hard wood。? "The tree said， "Yes，we'll give you a good piece of hard wood。"He was very glad to get a good piece of wood。 He hurried home with it。 At once he made a new handle of his ax。  Then he went to the forest again and began to cut down all the best trees in the forest。  The trees were very sad。  They said to one another， "We suffer for our own foolishness。"

    树与斧头
    从前有一个人进入了森林。  他对树说：“您愿意给我一块硬木头吗?”树说：“行，我将给你一块价值较好的硬木头。”他非常高兴地得到了一块好木头。  他赶紧把它带到家里，立即做了一把新斧头。  然后他又去森林里砍最好的树。  树感到非常悲伤，他们互相说道：“我们自作自受。”
