The House of 1000 Mirrors
千镜之屋

Long ago in a small, faraway village, there was a place known as the House of 1000 Mirrors. A small, happy little dog learned of this place and decided to visit. When he arrived, he hounced happily up the stairs to the doorway of the house. He looked through the doorway with his ears lifted high and his tail wagging as fast as it could. To his great surprise, he found himself staring at 1000 other happy little dogs with their tails wagging just as fast as his. He smiled a great smile, and was answered with 1000 great smiles just as warm and firendly. As he left the House, he thought to himself, "This is a wonderful place. I will come back and visit it often."

In this same village, another little dog, who was not quite as happy as the first one, decided to visit the house. He slowly climbed the stairs and hung his head low as he looked into the door. When he saw the 1000 unfriendly looking dogs staring back at him, he growled at them and was horrified to see 1000 little dogs growling back at him. As he left, he thought to himself, "That is a horrible place, and I will never go back there again."
All the faces in the world are mirrors. What kind of reflections do you see in the faces of the people you meet?

趣味英语小故事：I've Passed My Right on to You

One day, Wilson was walking quietly along the road when somebody gave him a violent blow on the back of the neck. He looked behind him, and saw a young man whom he had never seen before.
“How dare you hit me like that!”shouted Wilson.
The young man said he had mistaken Wilson for a friend of his and that he thought Wilson was making a lot of noise about nothing.
This insult made Wilson even angrier, of course, and he at once arranged for the young man to be brought before a judge. There was nothing for the young man to do but to appear before the court.
Now, the judge who heard the case was a friend of the young man's father, and, although he pretended to be quite fair, he was thinking how he could avoid punishing the young man while at the same time not appearing unjust.

Finally he said to Wilson,“I understand your feelings in this matter very well. Would you be satisfied if I let you hit the young man as he hit you?”
Wilson said he would not be. The young man had insulted him and should be properly punished.
“Well, then,”said the judge to the young man,“I order you to pay ten liras to Wilson.”
Ten liras was very little for such a crime, but the young man did not have it with him, so the judge allowed him to go and get it.
Wilson waited for him to return with the money. He waited an hour, he waited two hours, while the judge attended to other business.
When it was nearly time for the court to close, Wilson chose a moment when the judge was especially busy, came up quietly behind him and hit him hard on the back of the neck. Then he said to him,“I am sorry, but I can't wait any longer. When the young man comes back, tell him that I have passed my right to the ten liras on to you.”

请参考：
“To bell the cat” means to do something dangers, something that might end in disaster灾难.
The expression comes from an old story. A family of mice老鼠 could not leave the hole to get food because of its fear of a cat. The mice decided to tie a bell around the cat's neck颈. The bell would ring as the cat moved. So the mice would always know where the cat was. All agreed it was a wonderful plan. That is until one wise old mouse asked, “Who will bell the cat?”
Bell the cat，给猫系上铃铛，这当然是没什么难的，但如果联想一个古老的寓言里，“给猫系上铃铛”还是一件很冒险的事情呢！故事的发生是这样的：一窝老鼠因为怕猫，结果饿的要命。于是它们认为最好的办法是在猫的脖子上系一个铃铛。这样，铃铛一响，它们就知道猫来了。大家都觉得那是个好主意，但是有一只老的、比较聪明的老鼠问，“谁去给猫系上铃铛呢？”。当然“老鼠给猫系铃铛”是奢谈，但如果真的有个老鼠敢为猫系上铃铛，那它也算是“为救众多的老鼠”而“奋不顾身”了，不过最终也是得到死无葬身之地的结果。不知道现在的社会中是不是：It's very diffcult to get a man who will bell the cat. 很难找到危险时刻能够挺身而出的人。
所以bell the cat就表示“为众人承担风险、替别人冒险”的意思。

还有参考的：
“to be somebody's cat's paw.”成为某人的猫爪，被某人利用 It means to be fooled in to doing someone else's dirty work. It comes from an old story about a monkey. He wants some nuts heating on a fire. The monkey tries to steal the nuts. But he burns his fingers. So, he seizes the foot or paw of a cat and he uses that to pull the nuts out of the fire.

“Fat Cat” describes someone who is rich. You often hear it ring political campaigns政治竞选. Some fat cats give lots of money to politicians they hoped will be elected将被选举上. American jazz musicians have used the word “cat” to mean a man.

A sharp cat is a man who is dressed in the latest fashionable clothing. The great American horn player Louis Armstrong used the expression this way many years ago. Armstrong said, “I had on a new cowboy hat牛仔帽, a fine black suit, and new shining leather shoes皮鞋. I was a sharp cat.”
