The Chinese people cAll flattery to someone's face "presenting a tall hat" to someone.

In the past, an official in the imperial1 court in Beijing was appointed to an official post outside the capital. Before departure, he went to his teacher's home to bid farewell. His teacher warned him: "It is not easy to be an official outside the capital. You should be prudent2 and careful."

The official replied: "Please don't worry. I have prepared 100 'tall hats'，and will present one to each and every person I meet. I'm sure all the local people will be pleased."

The teacher said reproachingly3: "We are all honest gentlemen. How can you do that?"

The official pretended he had no way out and said: "Very few people under heaven are like you who dislike being flattered4 or presented with tall hats."

Hearing this, the teacher was very much pleased. He nodded and said: "What you said is true, too."

After the official said farewell to his teacher and went out, he said to his friend: "Of my 100 'tall hats', now only 99 are left."

中国人把当面说奉承话叫做给某人“戴高帽子”。

在古代，有一个在京城朝廷里做官的人，奉命去外地做官。临行前，他去老师家告别。老师叮嘱说:“外地的官不容易做，应当谨慎小心些才好。”

那个做官的人回答说:“请老师放心，我准备了一百顶高帽子，逢人便送他一顶，管叫地方上人人高兴。”

老师生气地说:“我们都是正人君子，怎么可以这样做呢?”

那个做官的人装着无可奈何的样子说:“天下不喜欢戴高帽子的人实在太少了啊!像老师您这样的又能有几个呢!”

老师听了很高兴，点点头说:“你讲的也不错!”

那个做官的人告别老师出来后，对朋友说:“我的一百顶高帽子，现在只剩下九十九顶了!”

　　少儿英语小故事

The City mouse and the Country Mouse

Once there were two mice. They were friends. One mouse lived in the country; the other mouse lived in the city. After many years the Country mouse saw the City mouse; he said, "Do come and see me at my house in the country." So the City mouse went. The City mouse said, "This food is not good, and your house is not good. Why do you live in a hole in the field? You should come and live in the city. You would live in a nice house made of stone. You would have nice food to eat. You must come and see me at my house in the city."

The Country mouse went to the house of the City mouse. It was a very good house. Nice food was set ready for them to eat. But just as they began to eat they heard a great noise. The City mouse cried, " Run! Run! The cat is coming!" They ran away quickly and hid.

After some time they came out. When they came out, the Country mouse said, "I do not like living in the city. I like living in my hole in the field. For it is nicer to be poor and happy, than to be rich and afraid."

城里老鼠和乡下老鼠

从前，有两只老鼠，它们是好朋友。一只老鼠居住在乡村，另一只住在城里。很多年以后，乡下老鼠碰到城里老鼠，它说：“你一定要来我乡下的家看看。”于是，城里老鼠就去了。乡下老鼠领着它到了一块田地上它自己的家里。它把所有最精美食物都找出来给城里老鼠。城里老鼠说：“这东西不好吃，你的家也不好，你为什么住在田野的地洞里呢?你应该搬到城里去住，你能住上用石头造的漂亮房子，还会吃上美味佳肴，你应该到我城里的家看看。”

乡下老鼠就到城里老鼠的家去。房子十分漂亮，好吃的东西也为他们摆好了。可是正当他们要开始吃的时候，听见很大的一阵响声，城里的老鼠叫喊起来：“快跑!快跑!猫来了!”他们飞快地跑开躲藏起来。

过了一会儿，他们出来了。当他们出来时，乡下老鼠说：“我不喜欢住在城里，我喜欢住在田野我的洞里。因为这样虽然贫穷但是快乐自在，比起虽然富有却要过着提心吊胆的生活来说，要好些。”
