經典英語故事
The Sole
The fishes had for a long time been discontented because no order prevailed in their kingdom. None of them turned aside for the others, but all swam to the right or the left as they fancied, or darted between those who wanted to stay together, or got into their way; and a strong one gave a weak one a blow with its tail, which drove it away, or else swallowed it up without more ado. "How delightful it would be," said they, "if we had a king who enforced law and justice among us!" and they met together to choose for their ruler, the one who could cleave through the water most quickly, and give help to the weak ones.
They placed themselves in rank and file by the shore, and the pike gave the signal with his tail, on which they all started. Like an arrow, the pike darted away, and with him the herring, the gudgeon, the perch, the carp, and all the rest of them. Even the sole swam with them, and hoped to reach the winning-place. All at once, the cry was heard, "The herring is first!" "Who is first?" screamed angrily the flat envious sole, who had been left far behind, "who is first?" "The herring! The herring," was the answer. "The naked herring?" cried the jealous creature, "the naked herring?" Since that time the sole's mouth has been at one side for a punishment.
經典英語故事
聰明鳥和愚蠢鳥
One day the leader bird saw two branches rubbing against each other. They were making wood powder come falling down. Then he noticed a tiny wisp of smoke rising from the rubbing branches. He thought， “There is no doubt a fire is starting that may burn down the whole forest.”
So the wise old leader called a meeting of all the birds living in the great tree. He told them， “My dear friends， the tree we are living in is beginning to make a fi re. This fire may destroy the whole forest. Therefore it is dangerous to stay here. Let us leave this forest at once!”
The wise birds agreed to follow his advice. So they flew away to another forest in a different land. But the birds who were not so wise said， “That old leader panics so easily. He imagines crocodiles in a drop of water! Why should we leave our comfortable homes that have always been safe? Let the scared ones go. We will brave and trust in our trees!”
Lo and behold， in a little while the wise leader's warning came true. The rubbing branches made sparks that fell in the dry leaves under the tree. Those sparks became flames that grew and grew. Soon the giant tree itself caught fire. The foolish birds who still lived there were blinded and choked by the smoke. Many， who could not escape， were trapped and burned to death.
The moral is： Those who ignore the advice of the wise， do so at their own risk.

經典英語故事
報恩的山雀
THE TITMOUSE'S REWARD
山雀的報答
During the Han dynasty， about two thousand years ago， to the north of Huayin Mountain， there lived a family called Yang. They were farmers， and had only one child， who was so precious to him that they named him Treasure Pao.
兩千年前的漢代，華陰山北面，住著一姓楊的農戶。他們全家都是農民，他們非常珍愛他們的獨子，并給他起名叫做寶——財寶的意思。
Yang Pao was not only clever， kind， and quick-witted， but he was also very good looking with his clear eyebrows and bright eyes. His parent shaved all of his hair off except for two locks on the top， which they tied into two knots. Everybody agreed that he was very cute.
楊寶不僅聰明、善良、機敏，而且眉清目秀，一表人材。他的父母剃光他的頭， 只留下頭頂?shù)膬纱轭^發(fā)，扎成兩個發(fā)髻 .每個人都 承認他很聰明 .
Yang Pao loved nature. He spent a lot of time playing in the forests of Huayin Mountain. One day when he was nine years old， he was playing outdoors as usual. All of a sudden he heard a cry above him. He looked up and saw a hunting owl had just snatched a little bird， a titmouse， out of the air. The owl was so startled to discover someone watching it hunt that it dropped the titmouse， which fell to the ground. It was so dazed it just lay there without moving.
楊寶熱愛自然。他時常在華陰山的森林里玩。九歲的時候，一天他跟往常一樣在外邊玩。忽然他聽到上方傳來一陣驚叫聲。他抬頭一看，見一只貓頭鷹剛在空中抓住了一只山雀 .發(fā)現(xiàn)有人在看見它捕獵，貓頭鷹受到驚嚇，丟下了山雀。那只山雀被摔昏了，躺在地上一動不動。
Ants then came to take it away for food， but the titmouse had been hurt by the owl's claws and the fall to the ground， so it couldn't move. Yang Pao ran over and picked the titmouse up， brushing away the ants. He took the titmouse home and raised it in a bamboo cage.
螞蟻們想搬走山雀當食物。山雀先被貓頭鷹的利爪所傷，又從空中跌下，因此已經動彈不得。楊寶跑過去，拾起山雀，撣去螞蟻。他把山雀帶回家，放在一個竹籠里飼養(yǎng)。
He loved his little bird. He fed it chrysanthemum petals and tended to its wounds until it was strong enough to fly. Then he took it to the forest and let it go.
他很珍愛這只小鳥。他用菊花的花瓣來喂它，還照料它的傷口， 直到它康復能夠飛翔 .之后他把它帶到樹林里放生了。
"You're free now! Watch out for owls! Goodbye!!"
"你現(xiàn)在自由了! 小心貓頭鷹 !再見了!"
Not long afterwards， he had a strange dream. A child dressed in brown clothes came to thank him for saving his life. He presented Pao with four priceless white jade bracelets， saying， "Sir， I am an envoy of the Heavenly Queen. You have saved my life. I would like to show my gratitude by presenting these four immaculate jade bracelets to you， with my blessing that your children and grandchildren be as spotless as pure jade， and hold posts in the top ranks of the government."
之后不久，楊寶做了一個奇怪的夢。一個穿著褐色衣服的小孩過來感謝他的救命之恩。他送給楊寶四個貴重的玉鐲，說："你好，我是王母娘娘的使者。你救了我的命，我要把這四個無暇的玉鐲送給你來表達我的謝意。我還祝愿你的子孫后代都像純潔的玉一樣無暇，官運亨通."
Yang Pao did not want to take the gift， but the little boy dressed in brown insisted， so he finally took the bracelets. As soon as he did， he woke up and found that it had just been a dream.
楊寶并不想接受這些禮物，但那個褐衣男孩一再堅持，他最后收下了鐲子。剛收下，他就醒了，發(fā)現(xiàn)剛才只是個夢。
"That sure was a strange dream，" he thought， shaking his head.
"這個夢真奇怪。"他邊想邊晃腦袋。
Yang Pao's sons， grandsons， great-grandsons， and great- grandsons were as spotless as pure jade. For four generations， his descendants all held posts in the top ranks of the government.
楊寶的兒子、孫子 、曾孫……，都像純潔的玉一樣無暇。他的四代子孫都是高官。
經典英語故事
The Jay and the Peacock
A Jay venturing into a yard where Peacocks used to walk, found
there a number of feathers which had fallen from the Peacocks when
they were moulting. He tied them all to his tail and strutted
down towards the Peacocks. When he came near them they soon
discovered the cheat, and striding up to him pecked at him and
plucked away his borrowed plumes. So the Jay could do no better
than go back to the other Jays, who had watched his behaviour from
a distance; but they were equally annoyed with him, and told him:
"It is not only fine feathers that make fine birds."
