Make the mighty ages Of eternity.
3.Thus our little errors Lead the soul away
From the path of virtue
Oft in sin to stray.
4.Little deeds of kindness，
Little words of love，
Make our earth an Eden，
Like the heaven above.
【中文阅读】
1.小水滴，小沙粒，
形成强大的海洋，和可爱的陆地。
2.如此，小小的每一分钟，尽管它们微不足道，却形成浩瀚的时代，乃至永恒不老。
3.如此，我们每个小小的错误，把灵魂领入歧途，从美德的轨道偏离，在罪恶中迷路。
4.小小的善举，小小的爱的词语，把我们的地球变成伊甸园，就像上面的天堂。
SELFISHNESS
自私
1.Mother.-Charlie，why do you not let Willie ride on your rocking-horse this afternoon？He has none，you know，and he would enjoy it so much.
2.Charles.-Because，mother，I want to ride，myself.
3.M.-But another day，when he is not here，will do for youjust as well.I am sorry my little boy is so selfish.
4.C.-Do you think I am selfish，mother？
5.M.-Not always；but this is selfish.
6.C.-What do you mean by selfish？Is not this my rocking-horse？and have I not a right to use it？
7.M.-I mean that you love to please yourself more than you love to please others.
8.The rocking-horse is yours，to be sure，and you have a right to use it；but when your friends come to see you，you should do all you can to please them and make them happy.
9.If you were to visit your cousin Willie，you would wanthim to let you play with his new toys，would you not？
10.C.-Yes，mother；and he always does let me play with them.The last time I was there he let me use his new wagon，and he used his old wheel-barrow.And we had glorious fun，drawing sand.
ll.M.-Now，my son，suppose Willie had wanted the new wagon all the time，should you have been as happy with the old wheel-barrow？
12.C.-No，indeed，for I have a wheel-barrow，just like it，and I have played with it so many times that I am tired of it？
13.M.-Then you would have thought him selfish if he had not let you play with the new wagon；and what will he think of you，if you do not let him play with your new rocking-horse？Is this doing as you would be done by？
14.Charlie stood a moment，as if getting a new idea.Soon the tears came into his eyes，and he said，O，mother！I was a bad boy！Won’t you forgive me？
15.Soon after，I went into the play-room，and found thechildren very happy.
16.Willie was riding the rocking-horse at the top of his speed-going after the rebels，he said.
17.Charlie was swinging his hat and urging him on，for，said he，I am afraid，if he does not ride a little faster，he will not catch them！
18.How easy it is to be happy，and to make others so！
【中文阅读】
1.妈妈--查理，今天下午你为什么不让威利骑你的摇摆木马？你知道他没有木马，而且他会玩得很开心。
2.查尔斯--因为，妈妈，我自己想要骑。
3.妈妈--但是改天他不在这里的时候，你也一样可以骑。我很难过，我的小孩这么自私。
4.查尔斯--你认为我自私吗，妈妈？
5.妈妈--并不总是，但这一次是自私。
6.查尔斯--你说的自私是什么意思？这个摇摆木马难道不是我的吗？难道我没有权利用它吗？
7.妈妈--我的意思是你更喜欢让自己高兴，多于喜欢让别人高兴。
8.摇摆木马当然是你的，而且你有权使用它；但是当你的朋友来看你，你应该尽你所能让他们高兴。
9.要是你去拜访你的表哥威利，你也会想要他让你玩他的新玩具，难道你不想吗？
10.查尔斯--是的，妈妈，他确实总是让我玩他的新玩具。上一次我在那里的时候，他让我用他的新马车，他自己用旧的手推车。我们拉沙子，玩得可高兴了。
11.妈妈--现在，我的儿子，试想一下，要是威利一直要玩新的马车，你玩旧的手推车也会一样高兴吗？
12.查尔斯--不，确实不会，因为我有一辆手推车，就像那辆一样的，我已经玩过那么多次，玩得我都厌倦了。
13.妈妈--那么要是他不让你玩新马车，你就会觉得他自私。而如果你不让他玩你的新木马，他会怎么看待你呢？这是不是和你可能会做的那样呢？
14.查尔斯站了一会儿，似乎领悟到了新的想法。很快他热泪盈眶，他说，噢，妈妈！我是个坏男孩！你会原谅我吗？
15.不久以后，我走进游戏室，发现孩子们非常快乐。
16.威利正在用最快的速度骑着摇摆木马--他说，他正追赶着叛军。
17.查尔斯正在挥舞着他的帽子，催促他前进，因为，他说，要是威利不骑得快一点，我恐怕他没法抓住他们！
18.变得快乐是多么容易啊，让别人快乐也是如此！
THE MONKEY，AND WHAT HE DID
猴子和它做的事情
1.I suppose all my little readers have seen a monkey.Sometimes men put coats and trousers on them，and then they look much like little boys.
2.A monkey likes to climb，and he can run up a tree as quick as a cat can.They are great imitators，too，and try to do what they see done.
3.It is said they like nothing so much as mischief.I do notknow how that is，but I know they very often seem to like it.
4.I once heard of a monkey that took a very little baby out of its cradle，and ran up on top of the house with it.The baby‘s mother was very much frightened，and tried to get to it，but she could not.
5.Then she tried to call the monkey down，but he only laughed at her.O！what could the poor mother do！
6.She went off for some men to come and get her baby；but when she came back，her baby was all covered nicely，and asleep in the cradle！and the monkey was jumping about the room，as if he thought he had done something smart.
7.Soon after，this monkey saw some boys go into a school-house.I should like to know what is going on there，he said to himself.I think I will just go in and see.And in he went and sat down on a seat as the boys did.
8.When they took up their books，he took up one too，and heturned over the leaves as he saw that they did.
9.Soon the children began to laugh；and the monkey，thinking，no doubt，that this was part of the play，began to grin and chatter.
10.One boy then threw something at him，and the monkey threw it back.Then one of the boys pulled his tail，and the monkey in return pulled the boy’s hair till he screamed for help.
11.Just at this moment the teacher came in and took the monkey off.Some of the boys cried out，Beat him；some，Killhim.
