童话故事不只是可以渲泄负面的情感，而且还可以让儿童在无意识层面上深刻地习得人类智慧、社会习俗和种种美德。
聪明的熊猫
A little panda picks up a pumpkin1 and wants to take it home. But the pumpkin is too big. The panda can't take it home.
Suddenly she sees a bear riding a bike toward2 her. She watches the bike. "I know! I have a good idea." she jumps and shouts happily, "I can roll a pumpkin. It's like a wheel."
So she rolls the pumpkin to her home. When her mother sees the big pumpkin, she is surprised, "Oh, my God! How can you carry it home?" the little panda answers proudly, "I can't lift it, but I can roll it." Her mother smiled and says, "What a clever girl! Use you heard to do something,"
一只小熊猫摘了一只大南瓜，想把它拿回家。但是这只南瓜太大了，她没有办法把这么大的南瓜带回家。
突然她看见一只狗熊骑着一辆自行车朝她这边来。她看着自行车，跳着说：“有了!我有办法了。我可以把南瓜滚回家去。南瓜好像车轮。
于是她把那瓜滚回家。当她妈妈看到这只大南瓜的时候，很惊讶：“天啊!这么食的南瓜!你是怎么把它带回家来的?”小熊猫自豪地说;“我拎不动它，可是我能滚动它啊!”她妈妈微笑着说：“真聪明啊!记住：只要你肯动脑筋，没有难办的事。
聪明的乌龟

“Haha! A frog! My dinner!” so he rushes at the frog.

Behind the tiger, there is a tortoise. The little tortoise sees it; he bites the tiger’s tail.
在老虎的后边，有一只乌龟。小乌龟看见了，他猛咬一下啊老虎的尾巴。
“Ouch!” cries the tiger and he looks back. The frog hears the voice and jumps into water.
“哎呦!”老虎疼得叫起来并回头看看。此时青蛙听见了老虎的声音，他迅速跳进水里。
“Thank you, little tortoise.” says the frog.
“谢谢你，小乌龟。”青蛙说。
But the tiger is very angry. “Bother it! I’ll throw you to the sky!”

阿佩莱斯和小毛驴
Apelles meeting with the little ass1 invited him to tea that very right. The little ass was trembling with delight. He prances2 through the wood; he pesters3 all who pass: 'Apelles bores me so. He will not let me be, you know! Whenever him I see, he asks me in to tea. I'm sure he wants to paint a Pegasus from me.'
'Oh no!' Apelles said as he happened to be near, 'I am painting the judgment4 of King Midas. I'm acquainting with you because you seem to boast the proper length of ear. So if you'll come to tea, most happy I shall be. For long-eared asses5 are not rare, but with the ears that you can show, no little or big ass either ever could compare!'
Consumed with vanity, the fool admires himself for that which others ridicule6, and often makes a boast of that which ought to shame him most.
阿佩莱斯遇到一只小小的毛驴，当晚就请它去喝茶。这小驴子高兴得全身颤抖，它在森林里高视阔步，和所有路过的人唠唠叨叨地说：“阿佩莱斯烦死我了，你知道，他死缠着我不放，不论什么时候遇到她，他总是叫我去喝茶，我想他一定是要按我的模样画一匹天上的飞马呢。”
“不，哪有那么回事!”阿佩莱斯说道(他正好在旁边)，“我画的是国王米达斯的审判，我认识你，是因为你似乎在吹嘘你的耳朵长度合适。所以如果你来喝茶，我高兴之至。长耳朵的驴子并不稀奇，可是你生的那副耳朵，无论大小驴子都不能和你相比!”
蠢才妄自尊大。他自鸣得意，恰恰是受人嘲笑奚落的短处，而且常常把应该引以为奇耻大辱的事情大吹大擂。
