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.

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.

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?

MORAL: Knowledge is power.

正當(dāng)它盡力用牙齒拔出身上的箭時(shí)，狐貍走上前來(lái)吃驚地問(wèn)道：“誰(shuí)能有這樣的力氣和膽量來(lái)傷害象老虎這樣勇敢而強(qiáng)有力的野獸呢?”

The Father and His Son

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. He then

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 the attempts of your enemies; but if you are divided among yourselves, you will be broken as easily as these sticks."

父親和孩子們

一位父親有幾個(gè)孩子，這些孩子時(shí)常發(fā)生口角。他絲毫沒(méi)有辦法來(lái)勸阻他們，只好讓他們看看不合群所帶來(lái)害處的例子。為了達(dá)到這個(gè)目的，有一天他叫他們替他拿一捆細(xì)柴來(lái)。當(dāng)他們把柴帶來(lái)時(shí)，他便先后地將那捆柴放在每一個(gè)孩子的手中，吩咐他們弄斷這捆柴。他們一個(gè)個(gè)盡力去試，總是不能成功。

然后他解開(kāi)那捆柴，一根根地放在他們手里，如此一來(lái)，他們便毫不費(fèi)力地折斷了。于是他就告訴他們說(shuō)：「孩子們！如果你們大家團(tuán)結(jié)一致，互相幫助，你們就像這捆柴一樣，不能被你們的敵人折斷；但如果你們自行，你們就將和這些散柴一般，不堪一折了�！�

四.寓言故事：人與賽特 A Man and a Satyr having struck up an acquaintance, sat down together to eat. The day being wintry and cold, the Man put his fingers to his mouse and blew opon them. "What's that for, my friend?" asked the Satyr. " My hands are so cold," said the Man, "I do it to warm them." In a little while some hot food was placed before them, and the Man, raising the dish to his mouse, again blew opon it. "And what's the meaning of that, now?" said the Satyr. "Oh," replied the Man, "my porridge is so hot, I do it to cool it." "Nay, then," said the Satyr, "from this moment I renounce your friendship, for I will have nothing to do with one who blows hot and cold with the same mouse."

五.寓言故事：狼和小羊 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 voice, "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.

英語(yǔ)寓言故事一：The one-eyed doe一只眼睛的母鹿

A doe had lost one of her eyes, and could not see anyone approaching her from one side.

In order to avoid any danger, she always ate on a high cliff near the sea, and looked at the land with her good eye when she was eating.

By this means she could see whenever the hunters a(來(lái)自:www.zuancaijixie.com 蒲公英文摘:英語(yǔ)寓言故事短文)pproached her on land.

But one hunter found out that she was blind in one eye. He rowed a boat under the cliff, and shot her from the sea.

一只眼睛的母鹿

有頭瞎了一只眼睛的母鹿，沒(méi)有辦法看到從瞎了的那只眼的方向靠近她的東西。

為了躲避危險(xiǎn)， (范文網(wǎng) ) 她總是在海邊的一處高崖上吃草。在她吃東西的時(shí)候，她用那只好的眼睛注視著陸地。

用這種方法，她防備來(lái)自陸地上的獵人的襲擊。

但是一個(gè)獵人發(fā)現(xiàn)她的一只眼睛是瞎的，就劃著船從海上將她射殺了。

寓意： 人們常常對(duì)容易預(yù)見(jiàn)的危險(xiǎn)嚴(yán)加防范，卻忽視自認(rèn)為很安全的方面。

英語(yǔ)寓言故事二：鴿子和螞蟻

An ant was drinking at a river. Suddenly he slipped, and fell into the water.

A dove took pity on him. She threw a small branch into the river. The ant seized the bough, and swam back to the shore.

A few days later, the ant saw a hunter aiming a gun at the dove. He bit the man in the foot sharply.

The man missed the shot, and the dove's life was saved.

The dove felt very grateful. She made good friends with the ant.

鴿子和螞蟻

一只螞蟻到河邊飲水，卻不幸掉入河中。

一只鴿子看見(jiàn)，扔下一段樹(shù)枝，將他救起。

過(guò)了不久，螞蟻看見(jiàn)獵人正在拿槍瞄準(zhǔn)鴿子，就狠狠地朝他腳上咬了一口，沒(méi)讓他打中。

鴿子非常感激螞蟻。從此，他們成了好朋友。

這個(gè)寓言故事告訴我們：有些朋友也許平時(shí)看似微不足道，但卻有可能在我們身處困境的時(shí)候提供巨大的幫助。聽(tīng)完小故事，小朋友們也應(yīng)該多多學(xué)會(huì)講故事。

英語(yǔ)寓言故事三：一顆小蘋(píng)果樹(shù)

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.

一個(gè)人在趕夜路時(shí)，突然從巖石上跌了下去，嚇得他趕緊抓住了巖石上的樹(shù)枝，因?yàn)樗�知道這一帶有個(gè)深谷，一不小心就會(huì)跌入上千英尺的深淵。一晚上，他唯一能看到的就是深不見(jiàn)底的峽谷。他大呼救命，但只聽(tīng)到了自己的回音---沒(méi)有人能聽(tīng)到他呼救。

你可以想象一下他的處境和整晚的恐懼。死神隨時(shí)都可能降臨。他的手開(kāi)始發(fā)涼，漸漸地抓不住了?當(dāng)太陽(yáng)升起的時(shí)候，他朝下看了

看，笑了。下面壓根就沒(méi)有什么深淵。在他下方六英尺的地方有一塊大石頭。巖石那么大，他本可以在那兒休息一個(gè)晚上，美美的睡上一覺(jué)，但昨晚他卻在夢(mèng)魘中度過(guò)。

恐懼只是六英尺的距離而已。接下來(lái)，到了你做決定的時(shí)候了：你是想要繼續(xù)抓著樹(shù)枝過(guò)夢(mèng)魘一般的生活，還是更喜歡把手從樹(shù)枝上松開(kāi)，雙腳著地？

真的沒(méi)有什么好害怕的。
