　　Once, carrying his bow, arrows and firearms, he quietly went hunting in the mountain.

　　有一次，他拿着弓箭和火器悄悄上山打猎。

　　Up on the mountain, he first imitated the cries of the deer to lure the horde of deer to come over, so that he could shoot at them with the firearms. The leopard cat heard the cries of the deer and came running to devour the deer. The hunter was afraid of the leopard cat, so he hurriedly imitated the roar of the tiger to scare away the leopard cat. Hardly had the leopard cat been scared away when the tiger heard the roar and came. At this moment, the hunter was even more frightened, so he imitated the cries of the brown bear. As a result, the tiger was scared away like the leopard cat.

　　上山以后，他先学鹿的叫声，想引诱鹿群过来，再用火器射猎。驱一听是鹿叫，就快步跑来想吃鹿。猎人害怕，急忙又学虎啸来吓走它。驱刚刚被虎啸吓跑，可是老虎却闻声赶到了。这时候，猎人更加害怕，于是就学黑叫。结果，老虎也像驱一样逃跑了。

　　Then, when the brown bear heard the cries, it came to look for its companions. Seeing that it was a man, the brown bear at once struck him with its front paws, and tore him up with its teeth. In a short while, the hunter was torn to pieces and devoured by the brown bear.

　　后来，黑听见叫声，就来寻找同伴。刚走到前面，它一看是一个人，就立刻用前爪打他，用牙齿撕他，不一会儿，把猎人撕成碎块吃掉了。

　　In the Tang Dynasty, there was a scholar named Lu Sheng.

　　唐代有个读书人，名叫卢生。

　　One day, Lu Sheng went to the capital for the imperial examination On his way when he reached Handan, he stayed at an inn. A Taoist priest surnamed Lii was also staying there. Sitting in his room, Lu Sheng lamented over his poverty and unsuccessful career and sighed in grief with knitted brows and a long face.

　　一天，卢生赴京赶考，路过邯郸，住在一家客店里。一个姓吕的道士，也住在这家店里。卢生坐在屋里慨叹自己的穷困不得志，唉声叹气，愁眉苦脸。

　　As the Taoist priest Lu saw Lu Sheng in such a state, he took out a pillow from his pocket, gave it to him and said:

　　吕道士看见卢生这个样子，便从自己口袋里拿出一个枕头递给卢生，并且对他说:

　　"Try sleeping with this pillow under your head. It may be good for you."

　　“你枕这个枕头睡一觉试试，可能会有好处的。”

　　Lu Sheng went to bed as told, while the owner of the inn was steaming millet. With the Taoist priest's pillow, Lu Sheng fell asleep and had a dream. In his dream, he married the daughter of a high official surnamed Cui in Qinghe and he himself also became an official. He had a brilliant career as an official and often got promoted. Once he went to fight against the enemy and rendered outstanding service. Thus he rose higher and higher in officialdom till he became the Minister of Revenue and concurrently Imperial Law Enforcement Official.

　　卢生照着道士的嘱咐去睡觉了。这时候，客店主人正在蒸小米饭，卢生枕着道士的枕头睡着了，做了一个梦。梦中，他娶了清河崔大官的女儿，自己也做了官。他官运亨通，不断提升，一次上阵杀敌又立了功。这样，他官越做越大，一直做到户部尚书兼御史大夫。

　　Later, someone was jealous of him and framed a case of conspiracy against him. The emperor ordered to have his house ransacked, his property confiscated, and him condemned. After a few years, the emperor reinstated him to his original post. He had a large family with lots of children and grandchildren, and enjoyed great wealth and high position as before. In his old age, he fell ill, could not be cured, and eventually died.

　　后来，卢生遭人嫉妒。有人诬陷卢生谋反，皇帝下令抄家问罪。过了几年，皇帝又恢复了他的官职。他子孙满堂，继续享受着荣华富贵。晚年，他得了病，医治无效，终于死去.

　　Lu Sheng woke up from his dream and found himself still sleeping at the inn, with the Taoist priest Lu sitting beside him. The millet which the owner of the inn had been steaming was not yet done.

　　卢生一梦醒来，发现自己仍然睡在客店里，吕道士就坐在他的身旁，连店主人蒸的小米饭还没熟呢.
