　　Once, there were two candles. One candle was made from beeswax and the other was made from animals' fat. "I am much brighter than other candles, and I can last longer than all of us can. That's why I should stand on a silver candle holder." The beeswax candle was proud of herself and said. The candle made from animals' fat envied the beeswax candle. 'The beeswax candle must live a great and sndid life.'

　　One day, there was a party in this house. "I will be great at the party." The Beeswax candle said arrogantly as if she was the hostess of the party.

　　Then, a master came in. "I have to light up a candle." After saying this, he took the beeswax candle. "The party must be wonderful!" The animal fat candle was left behind and became lonelier.

　　At that time, one little boy appeared with his torn basket at the kitchen door. In the basket, there were five or six potatoes and one ap. A mistress of the house gave them to this poor boy. "I will give you this candle, too." The mistress slipped the animal fat candle into the boy's hand. The little boy was very happy and went back to his house.

　　'Where am I going?' The candle finally arrived at a poor and small hut. Three children and a mother were living in that small room with a low-ceiling. The candle stood on an iron candlestick.

　　"This is too much!" The candle grumbled to himself regretting for his miserable situation. 'The beeswax candle, went to the party, she must be standing on a great silver candle holder at this time.' The Candle made from animals' fat envied the beeswax candle very much.

　　The mother prepared dinner by boiling potatoes and peeling the ap. The three children and the mother had dinner happily. The animal fat candle shone their table brightly.

　　"This candle is very bright!" The boy said. "God bless this kind lady!" The mother prayed. It was a poor but peaceful and happy family. The animal fat candle felt happy as he enjoyed shining brightly for this family.

　　“我要去哪里？”蜡烛终于到达了一个又小又穷的小屋。三个孩子和一个母亲住在那间天花板很小的小房间里。蜡烛站在铁烛台上。

　　“这太过分了！”蜡烛咕哝着，为他悲惨的处境而懊悔。蜂蜡蜡烛，去参加聚会，她此时一定站在一个银质烛台上，“动物脂肪制成的蜡烛非常羡慕蜂蜡蜡烛。”。
