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 a(转 载于:wWW.cSsYq.cOM 书业网)rrow 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?”

英语寓言故事
1. THE LION AND THE MOUSE
Lion was awakened from sleep by a Mouse running over his face. Rising up in anger, he caught him and was about to kill him, when the Mouse piteously entreated, saying： “If you would only spare my life, I would be sure to repay your kindness。” The Lion laughed and let him go。
It happened shortly after this that the Lion was caught by some hunters, who bound him by strong ropes to the ground. The Mouse, recognizing his roar,came up, and gnawed the rope with his teeth, and setting him free, exclaimed： “You ridiculed the idea of my ever being able to help you, not expecting to receive from me any repayment of your favour； but now you know that it is possible for even a Mouse to confer benefits on a Lion。”
1.狮和鼠
一只老鼠从一只狮子面前跑过去，将它从梦中吵醒。
狮子生气地跳起来，捉住老鼠，要弄死它。老鼠哀求说：“只要你肯饶恕我这条小生命，我将来一定会报答你的大恩。”狮子便笑着放了它。
后来狮子被几个猎人捉住，用粗绳捆绑倒在地上。老鼠听出是狮子的吼声，走来用牙齿咬断绳索，释放了???⒋笊?担骸澳愕笔背靶ξ蚁氚锬愕拿Γ??乙膊恢竿?矣惺裁椿?岜ù稹５?悄阆衷谥?懒耍?退闶切±鲜螅?材芟蚴ㄗ有Ю偷摹！?/p>
2. THE WOLF AND THE LAMBA Wolf meeting with a Lamb astray from the fold, resolved not to lay violent hands on him, but to find some plea, which should
justify to the Lamb himself his right to eat him. He thus addressed him：“Sirrah, last year you grossly insulted me。” “Indeed,” bleated the Lamb in a
mournful tone of ***, “I was not then born。” Then said the Wolf, “You feed in my pasture。”
“No, good sir,” replied the Lamb, “I have not yet tasted grass。” Again said the Wolf, “You drink of my well。” “No,” exclaimed the Lamb, “I never yet drank water, for as yet my mother′s milk is both food and drink to me。” On which the Wolf seized him, and ate him up, saying, “Well！ I won′t remain supperless, even though you refute every one of my imputations。”The tyrant will always find a pretext for his tyranny。
2.狼和小羊
一只狼瞧见一只迷路失群的小羊，决定暂缓下毒手，想先找一些理由，对小羊证明自己有吃它的权利。它就说：“小鬼！你去年曾经骂过我。”小羊可怜地说：“老实说，我去年还没有出生呢。”狼再说：“你在我的草地上吃过草。”
小羊回答说：“不，好先生，我还未曾尝过草的味道呢。”狼又说：“你喝过我井里的水。”小羊叫道：“不，我从没有喝过水，因为直到今天为止，我都是吃着母亲的奶汁。”狼一听这话，便抓住它，把它吃下去，便说：“好！即使你驳倒我每一句话，我终究要吃晚餐的！”暴君总有他暴行的借口。
3. THE ASS AND THE GRASSHOPPER
Ass having heard some Grasshoppers chirping, was highly enchanted； and, desiring to possess the same charms of melody, demanded what sort of food they lived on, to give them such beautiful ***s. They replied, “The dew。” The Ass resolved that he would only live upon dew, and in a short time died of hunger。
3.驴和蚱蜢
一只驴听到几只蚱蜢在叫，便觉得很有趣；于是也想得到同样有趣的音调，便问蚱蜢吃什么东西过活，以致于能有这样优美的声音。蚱蜢说：“露水。”驴子听了，从此以后也单吃露水过活，不久便饿死了。
4. THE WOLF AND THE CRANEA
Wolf, having a bone stuck in his throat, hired a Crane, for a large sum, to put her head into his throat, and draw out the bone. When the Crane had
extracted the bone, and demanded the promised payment, the Wolf, grinning and grinding his teeth, exclaimed： “Why, you have surely already a sufficient
recompense, in having been permitted to draw out your head in safety from the mouth and jaws of a wolf。”
4.狼和鹳雀
一只狼喉咙鲠了一根骨头，便用很多钱去雇请一只鹳雀，将头伸进他的喉咙中，把那块骨头取出来。当鹳雀拔出那块骨头，向他索取约定的报酬，狼却呲牙咧齿地说：“怎么？允许你的头从一只狼的嘴巴和牙床中安全地伸出来，已经是莫大的报酬了。”为恶人效劳，不要希望得到报酬；要是能避免伤害，已经是万幸了。
5. THE FATHER AND HIS SONS
Father had a family of sons who were perpetually quarrelling among themselves. When he failed to heal their disputes by his exhortations, he determined to give
them a practical illustration of the evils of disunion； and for this purpose he one day told them to bring him a bundle of sticks. When they had done so, he placed the faggot into the hands of each of them in succession, and ordered them to break it in pieces. They each tried with all their strength,and were not able to do it。He next unclosed the faggot, and took the sticks separately, one by one, and again put them into their hands, on which they broke them easily. Hethen addressed them in these words： “My sons, if you are of one mind, and unite to assist each other, you will be as this faggot, uninjured by all theattempts of your enemies； but if you are divided among yourselves, you will be broken as easily as these sticks。”
一位父亲有几个孩子，这些孩子时常发生口角。他丝毫没有办法来劝阻他们，只好让他们看看不合群所带来害处的例子。为了达到这个目的，有一天他叫他们替他拿一捆细柴来。当他们把柴带来时，他便先后地将那捆柴放在每一个孩子的手中，吩咐他们弄断这捆柴。他们一个个尽力去试，总是不能成功。
然后他解开那捆柴，一根根地放在他们手里，如此一来，他们便毫不费力地折断了。于是他就告诉他们说：“孩子们！如果你们大家团结一致，互相帮助，你们就像这捆柴一样，不能被你们的敌人折断；但如果你们自行分裂，你们就将和这些散柴一般，不堪一折了。
6. THE BAT AND THE WEASELS
Bat falling upon the ground was caught by a Weasel, ofwhom he earnestly besought his life. The Weasel refused,saying, that he was by nature the enemy ofall birds. TheBat assured him that he was not a bird, but a mouse, andthus saved his life。Shortly afterwards the Bat again fellon the ground, and was carght by another Weasel, whom helikewise entreated not to eat him. The Weasel said thathehad a special hostility to mice. The Bat assured him thathe was not a mouse, but a bat； and thus a second timeescaped.It is wise to turn circumstances to good account。
6.蝙蝠和鼠狼
一只蝙蝠坠落到地面上来，被一只鼠狼捉住了，蝙蝠哀求讨饶。鼠狼不答应，说它自己最爱和鸟类为敌。蝙蝠便证明它自己不是鸟，只是一只老鼠，因此鼠狼就放了它。
不久这只蝙蝠又坠落到地上来，被另一只鼠狼捉住，它同样地哀求讨饶。那鼠狼说它自己最恨老鼠，蝙蝠证明自己并不是老鼠，而是一只蝙蝠；因此，它第二次又安然地逃离危险了。随机应变乃聪明之举！
