The horse and the ass
A horse and an ass were traveling together. The horse was prancing along in its beautiful trappings, but the ass was carrying the heavy weight in its saddlebags.
"I wish I were you," sighed the ass. "You have nothing to do, and wear such a beautiful harness."
The next day there was a great battle. The horse was badly wounded in the final charge.
The ass passed and saw the dying horse. "I was wrong," said the ass."Safety is much more important than beautiful clothes." 马和驴
●马和驴一起旅行，马拉着轻便的车轻松地前行，而驴驮着很重的鞍囊走路。●“我多希望我是你，”驴感叹道，“你什么也不用做，却佩带这么漂亮的马具。”
●后来爆发了一场战争，马在最后的冲锋中不幸身受重伤。
●驴从将要死去的马身边经过。“我错了，”驴说，“安全比漂亮的衣服更重要。”
寓意: 不要随便羡慕别人，各人都有自己的生活，都有自己的幸福与不幸。
The fox without a tail
A fox's tail was caught in a trap. When he was trying to release himself, he lost his whole tail except the stump.
At first he was ashamed to see the other foxes because he had no tail, but he was determined to face his misfortune. He called all the foxes to a meeting.
When they had gotten together, the fox said that they should all do away with their tails.
He said that their tails were very inconvenient when they met with their enemies.
He did not talk about any advantages of the tail. "You are right," said one of the older foxes, "but I don’t think you would advise us to do away with our tails if you hadn't lost it yourself first."
●一只狐狸的尾巴被夹住了，当他试着脱身的时候，挣断了整条尾巴。
●开始时，他看到其他狐狸的时候感到很羞愧。后来，他决定面对这种不幸，就召集了所有的狐狸开会。
●大家到齐后，他极力劝说其他狐狸也割掉尾巴，说尾巴在遭遇敌人时很不方便，尾巴一点儿作用也没有。
●可他没有说有尾巴的任何好处。
●一只老狐狸站出来说：“如果你没有失去你的尾巴，你是不会来劝大家都割去尾巴的。
The cage bird and the bat
A bird was confined in a cage outside a window. She often sang at night when all other birds were asleep.
One night a bat came. He asked the bird why she was silent by day and sang only at night.
The bird answered, “Last year when I was singing in the daytime, a bird catcher heard my voice and caught me in his net.Since then I have never sung by day.”
The bat replied, "But it is useless to do this now that you have become a prisoner." Then he flew away.
金丝雀与蝙蝠
●挂在窗口笼里的金丝雀，经常在鸟儿睡着的夜里歌唱。
●一天晚上，蝙蝠来了，飞过来问她为什么白天安静无声，夜里却要歌唱。●金丝雀回答说：“去年我在白天唱歌时，捕鸟人听到我的歌声抓住了我。从此，我再也不在白天唱歌了。”
●蝙蝠说：“你现在才懂得谨慎已没用了，你若在变为囚徒之前就懂得，那该多好呀！”说完就飞走了。
寓意: 我们应该在危险发生之前就提高警觉，因为危险一旦发生，我们再怎样小心也没有用了。
The ass and his purchaser
A man wanted to buy an ass. He went to the market, and saw a likely one. But he wanted to test him first.
So he took the ass home, and put him into the stable with the other asses. The new ass looked around, and immediately went to choose a place next to the laziest ass in the stable.
When the man saw this he put a halter on the ass at once, and gave him back to his owner.
The owner felt quite surprised. He asked the man, "Why are you back so soon? Have you tested him already?" "I don't want to test him any more," replied the man, "From the companion he chose for himself, I could see what sort of animal he is." 驴和买驴的人
●一个买主到市场上去买驴，他看中一头外表不错的驴，但是他想要牵走试一试。
●他把驴牵回家，放在自己其他的驴之间，这驴四处看看，立即走向一头好吃懒做的驴旁边。
●于是，买驴的人立刻给那头驴套上辔头，牵去还给驴的卖主。
●卖主感到很奇怪，他问买主：“你怎么这么快就回来了？”买主说：“不必再试了，从他所选择什么样的朋友来看，我已经知道他是什么样了。”
寓意: 物以类聚，人以群分。人们往往喜欢跟与自己相同的人交往，所以，我们可以根据一个人的朋友来推断他的为人。 The Fox and the Tiger(狐狸和老虎)
An Archer, hunting in the woods, was so successful with his arrows that he killed many of the wild animals. This frightened the rest so much that they ran into the densest part of the bushes to hide. At last the Tiger stood up, and pretending to be very brave, told the other animals not to be afraid anymore, but to rely on his courage, and he would attack the enemy on his own. While he was talking, and lashing his tail and tearing at the ground with his claws to impress the others, an arrow came and pierced his ribs. The Tiger howled with pain.
While he was trying to draw out the arrow with his teeth the Fox went up to him and asked, in surprise, whoever had the strength and courage to wound such a brave and mighty beast as the Tiger?
"Nay," said the Tiger, "I misjudged my enemy. It was that unbeatable man over there!"
MORAL: Knowledge is power.
狐狸和老虎
一个射手正在森林里打猎。他的箭法好极了，射死了许多野兽。这可大大地吓坏了余下的动物，它们都跑到最茂盛的灌木丛中躲藏起来。最后，老虎站了起来，装着非常勇敢的样子叫其余的动物相信它的勇敢，不必再害怕。它将独个儿向敌人进攻。它一边说着，一边甩动着它的尾巴，并用它的爪子刨着地上的泥土，想使别人更信任它。就在这时，一枝箭飞来，刺穿了他的肋骨，老虎顿时痛得吼叫起来。
正当它尽力用牙齿拔出身上的箭时，狐狸走上前来吃惊地问道：“谁能有这样的力气和胆量来伤害象老虎这样勇敢而强有力的野兽呢?”

Months passed and the cards remained unused-that is until the day this letter arrived:

Then I looked forward to the day they would learn to write-that hasn't happened yet.
Yours Sincerely"

英语寓言故事 Jupiter and the Monkey
JUPITER ISSUED a proclamation to all the beasts of the forest and promised a royal reward to the one whose offspring should be deemed the handsomest. The Monkey came with the rest and
presented, with all a mother's tenderness, a flat-nosed,hairless, ill-featured young Monkey as a candidate for the promised reward. A general laugh saluted her on the presentation
of her son. She resolutely said, "I know not whether Jupiter will allot the prize to my son, but this I do know, that he is at
least in the eyes of me his mother, the dearest, handsomest, and most beautiful of all."

儿童英语故事 风和太阳(The Wind And The Sun)
One day the wind said to the sun, “Look at that man walking along the road. I can get his cloak off more quickly than you can.”
“We will see about that,” said the sun. “I will let you try first.”
So the wind tried to make the man take off his cloak. He blew and blew, but the man only pulled his cloak more closely around himself.
“I give up,” said the wind at last. “I cannot get his cloak off.” Then the sun tried. He shone as hard as he could. The man soon became hot and took off his cloak.

(“我放弃了,”风最后说, “我无法让他把披风脱下来.”然后由太阳试试看.他尽可能地晒他.不久,那个人很热就把披风脱下来了.)
英语寓言故事 一颗小苹果树
英语寓言故事：一颗小苹果树
A man walking in the night slipped from a rock. Afraid that he would fall down thousands of feet, because he knew that place was a very deep valley, he took hold of a branch that was hanging over the rock. In the night all he couls see was a bottomless abyss. He shouted, his own shout reflected back--there was nobody to hear.
You can imagine that man and his whole night of scare. Every moment there was death, his hands were becoming cold, he was losing his grip...... and as the sun came out he looked down and he laughed. There was no abyss. Just six inches down there was a rock. He could have rested the whole night, slept well---the rock was big enough---but the whole night was a nightmare.
Fear is only six inches deep. Now it is up to you whether you want to go on cling to the branch and turn your life into a nightmare, or whether you would love to leave the branch and stand on your feet.
There is nothing to fear.
一个人在赶夜路时,突然从岩石上跌了下去,吓得他赶紧抓住了岩石上的树枝,因为他知道这一带有个深谷,一不小心就会跌入上千英尺的深渊。一晚上,他唯一能看到的就是深不见底的峡谷。他大呼救命,但只听到了自己的回音---没有人能听到他呼救。
你可以想象一下他的处境和整晚的恐惧。死神随时都可能降临。他的手开始发凉,渐渐地抓不住了...当太阳升起的时候,他朝下看了看,笑了。下面压根就没有什么深渊。在他下方六英尺的地方有一块大石头。岩石那么大,他本可以在那儿休息一个晚上,美美的睡上一觉,但昨晚他却在梦魇中度过。
恐惧只是六英尺的距离而已。接下来,到了你做决定的时候了:你是想要继续抓着树枝过梦魇一般的生活,还是更喜欢把手从树枝上松开,双脚着地?
英语寓言故事 狼很难抓到兔子
英语寓言故事,儿童英语故事,小学英语故事
The wolf and the fox wanted to eat the rabbit, but it wasn't easy to catch him.
One day the wolf said to the fox, "You go home and lie in bed. I'll tell the rabbit that you are dead. When he comes to look at you, you can jump up and catch him." That's a good idea," said the fox.
He went home at once. The wolf went to the rabbit's house and knocked at the door. "Who is it?" asked the rabbit. "It's the wolf. I've come to tell you that the fox is dead." Then the wolf went away.
The rabbit went to the fox's house. He looked in through the window and saw the fox lying in bed with his eyes closed. He thought, "Is the fox really dead or is he pretending to be dead? If he's not dead, he'll catch me when I go near him." so he said, "The wolf says that the fox is dead. But he doesn't look like a dead fox. The mouth of a dead fox is always open." When the fox heard this, he thought, "I'll show him that I'm dead." So he opened his mouth.
The rabbit knew that the fox wasn't dead, and he ran as quickly as he could.
狼和狐狸想要吃掉兔子，但是这只兔子太难抓到了。
一天，狼对狐狸说：“你回家假装躺在床上。我去告诉兔子你已经死了。当他来看你的时候，你就可以跳起来抓住他了。”“真是个好主意！”狐狸说。
于是他立刻回到家。狼去兔子的房前敲了敲门，“是谁啊？”兔子问道。“狼，我是来告诉你狐狸已经死了。”说完狼就走开了。
兔子去狐狸家看情况。他通过狐狸家的窗户看到闭着眼睛的狐狸躺在床上。他想，狐狸是真的死了，还是在假装呢？如果他没有死，那么我走近他就会被他抓住。于是他说：“狼说狐狸死了。但是他看起来并不像死掉了呀。死去的狐狸通常都是张着嘴的。”狐狸听到这些话就想：我得证明自己是真的死了。于是他张开了嘴巴。
这时兔子知道狐狸并没有死，他就以最快的速度跑开啦。
英语故事告诉我们：不要被假象迷惑，凡事多多求证才能防患于未然。

小学英语寓言故事（双语）
小马过河
One day, a colt took a bag of wheat to the mill.
As he was running with the bag on his back, he came to a small river. The
colt could not decide whether he could cross it. Looking around, he saw a cow
grazing nearby. He asked, “Aunt Cow, could you tell me if I can cross the river?”
The cow told him that he could and that the river was not very deep, just knee
high.
The colt was crossing the river when a squirrel jumped down a tree and
stopped him. The squirrel shouted, “Colt, stop! You'll drown! One of my friends
drowned just yesterday in the river.” Not knowing what to do, the colt went
home to cult his mom.
He told his mom his experience on the way. His mother said, “My child,
don't always listen to others. You'd better go and try yourself. Then you'll know
what to do.”
Later, at the river, the squirrel stopped the colt again. “Little horse, it's too
dangerous!”
“No, I want to try myself”, answered the colt. Then he crossed the river
carefully.
On the other side of the river, the colt realized that the river was neither as
shallow as the cow said nor as deep as the squirrel told him.
You see, real knowledge comes from practice.
一天，小马驮着麦子去磨坊。
当他驮着口袋向前跑去时，突然发现一条小河挡住了去路。小马为难了，这
可怎么办呢?
它向四周望了望，看见一头奶牛在河边吃草。小马问道：“牛阿姨，请您告
诉我，这条河我能趟过去吗?”奶牛回答说：“水很浅，刚到膝盖。”
小马正准备过河，突然丛树上跳下一只松鼠，拦住它大叫道：“小马，别过
河!你会被淹死的。昨天，我的一个伙伴就在这条河里淹死啦!”小马不知如何是好，
于是决定回家问问妈妈。
小马把路上的经历告诉了妈妈。妈妈说：“孩子，光听别人说是不行的，你
自己亲自去试一试，就知道答案了。”
小马回到河边，刚要下水，松鼠又大叫起来：“小马，你不要命啦?”小马说：
“让我自己试试吧。”它一面回答一面下了河，小心地趟了过去。原来河水既不像
老牛说的那样浅也不像松鼠说的那样深。

狗和狼
A wolf was almost dead with hunger. A house-dog saw him, and asked, "Friend, your irregular life will soon ruin you.
"Why don't you work steadily as I do, and get your food regularly?""I would have no objection," said the wolf, "if I could only get a place." "I will help you," said the dog. "Come with me to my master, and you shall share my work."
So the wolf and the dog went to the town together.
On the way the wolf saw that there was no hair around the dog's neck.He felt quite surprised, and asked him why it was like that?
"Oh, it is nothing," said the dog. "Every night my master puts a collar around my neck and chains me up. You will soon get used to it."
"Is that the only reason?" said the wolf. "Then good-bye to you, my friend. I would rather be free."

●在路上，狼注意到狗的脖子上有一圈没有毛，他很奇怪地问为什么会那样。
●“噢，没有什么，”狗说，“我的主人每天晚上都用一条铁链子拴住我，你很快就会习惯的。”“就是因为这个原因吗?”狼说道，“那么，再见了，我的朋友，我宁愿选择自由。”
寓意: 自由比安乐更重要。
