I just purchased a second hand book of 50 classical chinese stories translated into modern chinese. I'm translated the first into english and would like your thoughts on the translation and any comments I would like to have.

Shao Yuan (说苑) is a collection of writings put together by Liu Xiang (刘向) around 17 BC during the Western Han Dynasty (西汉）I'd appreciate your comments, and if you would like to see more of the stories as I try to translate them.
