Chunyu Kun (淳于髡) lived in the state of Qi (齐国) during the Warring States Period (战国,475-221 BC).He was wise, humorous and eloquent. He skillfully advised the king on many occasions and successfully went to many states as an envoy.
战国时期，齐国有个叫淳于髡的人。他幽默机智，能说会道，给齐威王出过许多好主意，并且成功出使了许多其他的国家。
In the year 349 BC, the State of Chu (楚国) dispatched a large force to attack Qi.
公元349年，楚国派出大批军队攻打齐国。
The king of Qi sent Chunyu Kun to the state of Zhao (赵国) to ask for help, with a lot of valuable gifts.
齐王派淳于髡去赵国寻求帮助，于是他带着许多贵重的礼品去了赵国。
The king of Zhao accpeted the gifts gladly and sent a hundred thousand troops to help Qi.
赵王见了礼物十分高兴，派了十万士兵去援助齐国。
The king of Chu withdrew his army that very night as soon as he got the news.
那天晚上，楚王得到这消息，马上撤回了自己的军队。
The king of Qi was released and pleased with Chunyu Kun. He set a banquet for celebration.
齐威王松了一口气，十分满意淳于髡的表现，并决定设宴为他庆功。
During the meal, the king asked Chunyu Kun, "How much wine can you drink before you're drunk, Sir?"
在宴会上，齐威王问淳于髡：“先生你喝多少酒会醉?”
Knowing the king had a bad habit of drinking all night, Chunyu Kun decided to take this chance to admonish the king. So he replied, "I get drunk when I drink ten litres or hundred."
他幽默地回答说：“我有时喝一升酒就会醉，有时喝一百升酒才会醉。”
Puzzled, the king askked, "Since you are drunk after ten litres, how can you finish another ninty litres?"
齐威王听了很奇怪。他问：“你喝一升已经醉了，怎么还会有喝一百升的道理呢?”
Chunyu Kun then explained that he could drink different amounts of wine under different conditions. He said, "This occurs to me that when you drink to your limit, you get so drunk that you lose your sense; once joy reaches its height, then it's sorrow's turn. This is the rule for everything. Whatever you do, you are bound to end up in the opposite direction when you exceed the limits."

"Wow!It's so heavy!" Lulu tried several times, but he failed. And he was socked with sweat. He wiped his sweat off and decided to have a rest.
Suddenly he saw the monkey Pipi. He was playing with a hoop. Lulu patted his head and said:"I've got it." He thought,the round hoop can roll, the watermelon round too,then it can roll too.He then put the big melon on the ground and rolled it forward quickly.

一位父亲有几个孩子，这些孩子时常发生口角。他丝毫没有办法来劝阻他们，只好让他们看看不合群所带来害处的例子。为了达到这个目的，有一天他叫他们替他拿一捆细柴来。当他们把柴带来时，他便先后地将那捆柴放在每一个孩子的手中，吩咐他们弄断这捆柴。他们一个个尽力去试，总是不能成功。
He next unclosed the faggot, and took the sticks separately, one by one, and again put them into their hands, on which they broke them easily. He then addressed them in these words: "My sons, if you are of one mind, and unite to assist each other, you will be as this faggot, uninjured by all the attempts of your enemies; but if you are divided among yourselves, you will be broken as easily as these sticks."
然后他解开那捆柴，一根根地放在他们手里，如此一来，他们便毫不费力地折断了。于是他就告诉他们说：「孩子们!如果你们大家团结一致，互相帮助，你们就像这捆柴一样，不能被你们的敌人折断;但如果你们自行分裂，你们就将和这些散柴一般，不堪一折了。」

一只狼瞧见一只迷路失群的小羊，决定暂缓下毒手，想先找一些理由，对小羊证明自己有吃它的权利。它就说：「小鬼!你去年曾经骂过我。」小羊可怜地说：「老实说，我去年还没有出生呢。」狼再说：「你在我的草地上吃过草。」
"No, good sir," replied the Lamb, "I have not yet tasted grass." Again said the Wolf, "You drink of my well." "No," exclaimed the Lamb, "I never yet drank water, for as yet my mother′s milk is both food and drink to me." On which the Wolf seized him, and ate him up, saying, "Well! I won′t remain supperless, even though you refute every one of my imputations."The tyrant will always find a pretext for his tyranny.
小羊回答说：「不，好先生，我还未曾尝过草的味道呢。」狼又说：「你喝过我井里的水。」小羊叫道：「不，我从没有喝过水，因为直到今天为止，我都是吃着母亲的奶汁。」狼一听这话，便抓住它，把它吃下去，便说：「好!即使你驳倒我每一句话，我终究要吃晚餐的!」暴君总有他暴行的借口。

The Mouse, recognizing his roar, came up, and gnawed the rope with his teeth, and setting him free, exclaimed: "You ridiculed the idea of my ever being able to help you, not expecting to receive from me any repayment of your favour; but now you know that it is possible for even a Mouse to confer benefits on a Lion."
后来狮子被几个猎人捉住，用粗绳捆绑倒在地上。老鼠听出是狮子的吼声，走来用牙齿咬断绳索，释放了它，并大声说：「你当时嘲笑我想帮你的忙，而且也不指望我有什么机会报答。但是你现在知道了，就算是小老鼠，也能向狮子效劳的。」

When the sun set, they became her brothers again. This is where we live now. It is not as nice as the castle, but we like it. There are berries and fruit trees in the forest. You should get some sleep now. Yes, I am tired. I hope I can find how to save you. Maybe you will dream it. Good night, Elise.
That night, Elise had a dream. A fairy came to her and told her how to break the spell. Thisnettle grows outside the cave. Pick the nettles and crush them with your feet. Make the nettles into thread. Then weave the thread into eleven coats. Throw the coats over your brothers, and they will never be swans again. The spell will be broken. But be careful. You must not speak a word before the spell is broken. If you say anything at all to anyone, your brothers will never be saved.
The next morning, Elise was very happy. She knew how to save her brothers.
She ran outside and found the nettles. She picked many nettles and carried them to the cave. Then she crushed the nettles with her feet until they were soft .then she made thread and began to weave the first coat. She was still working when the sun went down. Her brothers came home and saw her working.
Hi, Elise. What are you doing? But Elise didn’t answer. She was not allowed to speak. She smiled at her brothers and showed them the nettle coat. What’s wrong? Why won’t you talk to us? She’s making a strange coat. Maybe the coats will break the spell. That is why she cannot speak. If she speaks, the magic coats will not work.
Elise smiled again. Her brothers were so smart. They helped her when they could. They brought her food and water, so she could work on the magic coats. After a few days, the first coat was done. Elise and her brothers were very happy.
Chapter 4
One day, Elise went outside to pick more nettles. Suddenly, a hunting party appeared. The leader of the hunting party was a handsome young man. He saw Elise, and walked over to her. Hello, miss. I am the king of this land. Who are you?
Elise bowed to the young king, but she did not say anything. The girl does not speak, my king. What is wrong with her? I don’t know. But she is very beautiful. I will take her to the castle and marry her. She will be a wonderful queen.
But Elise did not want to go with the young king. She wanted to stay with her brothers and help them. She shook her head no and started to cry. But the king picked her up and put her on his horse. Do not cry, my dear. This cave is not a good place to live. You will be very happy at my castle. Soon they arrived at the young king’s castle.
Everyone welcome Elise and tried to make her happy. Elise liked the people at the castle, but she was still very sad, one person did not like Elise. The king’s chief minister did not trust her.
My king, this girl is too strange. Why won’t she talk to us? And why does she cry all the time? She is not a normal girl. I think she is a witch. Nonsense, she is not a witch. I think she misses her home. I have an idea to make her happier.
A few days later, the young king showed Elise a special room in the castle. I made this room to look just like you cave. We even brought your nettles and your coats. You can continue your strange work. Now will you be happy for me?
For the first time since coming to the castle, Elise smiled. She was so happy. Now she could make more magic coats for her brothers. She hugged the young king and kissed his hand in thanks. Soon, they were married. Elise and the king were very happy together. Every day, she ruled the kingdom with the king. Every night, she worked on the magic coats. But the chief minister still did not trust her. He watched her every night.
One night, Elise ran out of nettles. She left the castle to pick more. The chief minister followed her. He saw her picking the nettles, but he did not know why. This is too strange. A normal girl does not pick nettles in the middle of the night.
Now I can prove that she is a witch. The king will put her in jail. The next morning, the chief minister found the young king. My king, I can prove your wife is a witch. Last night, I followed her. She left and went to the cave. She picked lots of nettles to make those strange coats. A normal girl does not pick nettles in the middle of the night.She is a witch.
I don’t believe you, my wife is wonderful. I love her. She is not a witch. Please, let me show you. Watch her at night. You will see. Alright, I will watch her. Then I will prove that she is not a witch. For many nights the young king and the chief minister watched Elise. She worked hard weaving the magic coats.
Finally, ten coats were finishes. But she needed more nettles that night, Elise left the castle and went to the cave. The king and the chief minister followed her. They watched her picking nettle under the moon.
Now do you see? Only a witch picks nettles at night. She will cast spells on the kingdom. This is terrible. But I must believe you. Oh, how sad I am. My beautiful wife is a witch. Will you put her in jail? Yes. I will. I must protect my kingdom. I will tell the guards to arrest her tomorrow morning.
Chapter 5
The next morning, the guards arrested Elise. They took her to a tall tower and locked her in a small room. They threw the nettles and coats at her. Here are your nettles. they will be your blankets.
Goodbye, witch. Don’t cast your evil spells on us. Elise was so sad. She loved the young king, but he thought she was a witch. She began to cry.
Suddenly, she heard birds flying by the window. She looked outside and saw eleven swans. The swans all had golden crowns on their heads. Her brothers found her! She pointed to the jail house. The biggest swan nodded his head. He understood what was happening. Now Elise had new hope. She started to work very hard on the last coat. She worked all day and all night long. She didn’t sleep or eat anything.
The next morning, the young king arrived with the chief minister. Good morning, witch. Today you will go to jail. Are you ready? Please speak to us. Tell us why you are making these strange coats. If we knew why, you would not go to jail.
But Elise did not day anything. She looked at the king with a sad face. She will not speak. We must send her to jail. I’m so sorry, my dear. But I must protect my kingdom.
Elise picked up the eleven magic coats. The last coat was almost finished. She followed the chief Minister to a cart. This cart will take you to jail. Get in.
Elise got into the cart. She quickly started working on the last coat. She hoped to finish the coat quickly. The cart rolled through the town. All the towns. people came out to see Elise go to jail. They arrived at the jail house just as Elise finished the last coat. The guards opened the cart door and Elise stepped out.
Suddenly, eleven swans flew down to her. She threw a coat over each swan. The spell was broken, and the swans turned into her brothers. She is a witch! She turned those swans into young men! No, I am not a witch. These young men are my brothers.
Elise is right.Our stepmother was a witch. She cast an evil spell on us. The nettle coats broke the spell. Now we are free.
Why didn’t you tell us this before? I could not speak while I worked on the coats. If I said a word to anyone, the magic coats would not work. I’m sorry I worried you. You were so brave and strong. I love you, Elise. I love you too. I’m so happy I can speak to you now.
Elise, her brothers and the young king went back to the castle. They sent a messenger to Elise’s father. The next day, he came to see his children. Elise! My sons! I’m so happy to see you again. Father, I missed you so much. Where is stepmother? I don’t know. Your messenger told me about the evil spell.
I sent my guards to arrest her. But when they went to her rooms, she was gone. I hope we never see her again. That night, the young king held a grand party. Everyone had a wonderful time. And they all lived happily ever after.
