“我要买一身新衣服，好去参加舞会，年轻的小伙子都会邀请我跳舞。”
as she spoke she tossed her head back. the pail immediately fell off her head, and all the milk was spilt.

When the water rose they both floated off down the river. The earthen pot tried to stay away from the brass one.

铜锅大叫：“别害怕，朋友，我不会撞你的。”
"But I may come in contact with you," said the earthen pot. "If I come too close, whether I hit you or you hit me, I shall suffer for it."
“但是我有可能会和你接触，”瓦锅对铜锅说，“如果我离你太近，无论是你碰到我，或者是我自己不小心碰到你，我都会碎的。”
