乡下老鼠就到城里老鼠的家去。房子十分漂亮，好吃的东西也为他们摆好了。可是正当他们要开始吃的时候，听见很大的一阵响声，城里的老鼠叫喊起来：“快跑！快跑！猫来了！”他们飞快地跑开躲藏起来。过了一会儿，他们出来了。当他们出来时，乡下老鼠说：“我不喜欢住在城里，我喜欢住在田野我的洞里。因为这样虽然贫穷但是快乐自在，比起虽然富有却要过着提心吊胆的生活来说，要好些。”

经典童话故事豌豆公主（双语版） There was once a Prince who wished to marry a Princess；but then she must be a real Princess. He travelled all over the world in hopes of finding such a lady；but there was always something wrong. Princesses he found in plenty; but whether they were real Princesses it was impossible for him to decide, for now one thing, now another, seemed to him not quite right about the ladies. At last he returned to his palace quite cast down，because he wished so much to have a real Princess for his wife. 从前有一位王子，他想找一位公主结婚，但她必须是一位真正的公主。他走遍了全世界，想要寻到这样的一位公主。可是无论他到什么地方，他总是碰到一些障碍。公主倒有的是，不过他没有办法断定她们究竟是不是真正的公主。她们总是有些地方不大对头。结果，他只好回家来，心中很不快活，因为他是那么渴望着得到一位真正的公主。 One evening a fearful tempest arose, it thundered and lightened, and the rain poured down from the sky in torrents: besides, it was as dark as pitch. All at once there was heard a violent knocking at the door, and the old King，he Prince's father, went out himself to open it. 有一天晚上，忽然起了一阵可怕的暴风雨。天空在掣电，在打雷，在下着大雨。这真有点使人害怕！” 这时，有人在敲门，老国王就走过去开门。 It was a Princess who was standing outside the door. What with the rain and the wind，she was in a sad condition: the water trickled down from her hair, and her clothes clung to her body. She said she was a real Princess. 站在城外的是一位公主。可是，天哪！经过了风吹雨打之后，她的样子是多么难看啊！水沿着她的头发和衣服向下面流，流进鞋尖，又从脚跟流出来。她说她是一个真正的公主。 "Ah! we shall soon see that!" thought the old Queen-mother; however, she said not a word of what she was going to do; but went quietly into the bedroom, took all the bed-clothes off the bed, and put three little peas on the bedstead. She then laid twenty mattresses one upon another over the three peas, and put twenty feather beds over the mattresses. Upon this bed the Princess was to pass the night. “是的，这点我们马上就可以考查出来。”老皇后心里想，可是她什么也没说。她走进卧房，把所有的被褥都搬开，在床榻上放了一粒豌豆。于是她取出二十床垫子，把它们压在豌豆上。随后，她又在这些垫子上放了二十床鸭绒被。这位公主夜里就睡在这些东西上面。 The next morning she was asked how she had slept. "Oh, very badly indeed!" she replied. "I have scarcely closed my eyes the whole night through. I do not know what was in my bed, but I had something hard under me, and am all over black and blue. It has hurt me so much!" 早晨大家问她昨晚睡得怎样。“啊，不舒服极了！”公主说，“我差不多整夜没合上眼！天晓得我床上有件什么东西？我睡到一块很硬的东西上面，弄得我全身发青发紫，这真怕人！”Now it was plain that the lady must be a real Princess, since she had been able to feel the three little peas through the twenty mattresses and twenty feather beds. None but a real Princess could have had such a delicate sense of feeling. 现在大家就看出来了。她是一位真正的公主，因为压在这二十床垫子和二十床鸭绒被下面的一粒豌豆，她居然还能感觉得出来。除了真正的公主以外，任何人都不会有这么嫩的皮肤的。The Prince accordingly made her his wife；being now convinced that he had found a real Princess. The three peas were however put into the cabinet of curiosities, where they are still to be seen, provided they are not lost. 因此那位王子就选她为妻子了，因为现在他知道他得到了一位真正的公主。这粒豌豆因此也就被送进了博物馆，如果没有人把它拿走的话，人们现在还可以在那儿看到它呢。

I'll tell the rabbit that you are dead2. When he comes to look at you, you can jump up and catch him." That's a good idea," says the fox. The fox goes home at once. The wolf goes to the rabbit's house and knocked3 at the door. "Who is it?" asks the rabbit. "It's the wolf. I come to tell you that the fox is dead." Then the wolf goes away. The rabbit goes to the fox's house. He looked in through the window and sees the foxlying4 in bed with his eyes closed5. He thinks, "Is the fox really dead or is hepretending6 to be dead? If he's not dead, he'll catch me when I go near him." so hesaid7, "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 hears this, he thinks, "I'll show him that I'm dead." So he opened his mouth. The rabbit knows that the fox isn't dead, and he rans away quickly. 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。 猫和老鼠

小矮矮相信姑娘说的话，于是就坐到了纺车前。纺车不停地转啊转，发出欢快的声音。不大一会儿，活儿就干完了，满屋稻草全都纺成了金子。 国王进屋一看，真是又惊又喜，可他的心却变得更加贪婪。他把磨坊主的女儿关进另一间有更多稻草的屋子，吩咐她再把这间屋子里的稻草纺成金子。可怜的姑娘不知如何是好，坐在那里又哭了起来。谁知正在这时，小矮子打开屋门问道：“要是我帮你纺，你拿什么酬谢我呢?” “把这枚钻石戒指送给你。”姑娘回答说。 于是，她的这个矮小的朋友接过了戒指，然后走到纺车前，纺了起来。他不停地纺啊纺，天亮之前，终于把屋里的稻草全都纺成了金子。 国王一见这么多闪闪发光的金子，满心欢喜，可他仍然不满足，就把磨坊主的女儿带到了另一间更大的屋子，并且对她说：“要是你今晚把这里的稻草全都纺成金子，我就娶你做王后。” 国王走了，剩下姑娘一个人的时候，小矮子又来了，问姑娘说：“要是我第三次还替你纺金子，你拿什么酬谢我呢?” “我再也没什么可送给你啦。”她回答说。 “那么，你得答应我，”小矮子接着说道，“等你做了王后，把你生的第一个孩子送给我。” “那可万万不行。”姑娘心里想，可是她现在已走投无路，就答应了他的要求。小矮子又一次把稻草全都纺成了金子。

【长篇童话故事一棵奇异的苹果树】经典英语童话故事简短【导语】童话故事是指儿童文学的一种体裁，童话中丰富的想象和夸张可以活跃你的思维；那生动的形象、美妙的故事可以帮你认识社会、理解人生，引导你做一个通达事理、明辨是非的人。下面是大的长篇童话故事：一棵奇异的苹果树，欢迎阅读与借鉴。 从前喀尔巴阡山上有一个农妇。她有一个独生子名叫弗拉吉斯拉夫。 有一次，这个农妇到树林里去采野果。她摘了满满一土罐的野覆盆子，正打算回家，看见一棵树墩上坐着一个老太太，身上穿着一件花布背心。那老太太向这个农妇乞求说： “好心的人啊，把野覆盆子给我吃了吧!我吃了你的东西，我就会给你儿子指示一条幸福的道路。” 农妇舍不得把野果给她吃，但是又很想让她儿子得到幸福，所以，她还是伸手把罐子交给老太太了。 老太太把覆盆子吃得一粒也不剩，吃完了擦了擦嘴说：
“你记住吧，你的儿子若是能够找到他喜欢做的工作，他才能孝顺你，他自我才能得到幸福，他对人们也才能有益处。” 农妇问：“老太太，我的弗拉吉斯拉夫喜欢做的是哪一种工作呢?” 没有人回答她的问题，老太太不见了。 老太太坐的地方，只有一只蝎子，摇了摇尾巴不见了。但是，土罐又自动长出满满一罐熟透了的覆盆子。 农妇明白，她刚才遇见的这个老太太绝不是平常人，必须是个巫婆。 她左思右想，想要给她儿子找一件他喜欢做的工作——想来想去想不出。 农妇在路上碰见一个裁缝，就问裁缝说： “裁缝先生，世界上哪一种工作?” 他回答说：“世界上的工作就是裁缝。”
农妇就让弗拉吉斯拉夫跟裁缝当学徒去了。这个男孩子学穿针，学把剪子递给裁缝，学把熨斗烧热。 这样过了三个月。农妇到城里来探望儿子来了。裁缝师傅把她儿子夸奖个没完——说孩子又勤快，又聪明。但是弗拉吉斯拉夫自我却是很不高兴的样貌。 妈妈问他：“我的乖孩子，你喜欢做裁缝吗?” 儿子回答说：“不，妈，我不喜欢。我们用金钱织锦缎给懒财主缝衣裳，穷人穿的却是破衣裳。” 妈妈吓坏了，让别人听见这种话，要不把她儿子关进监牢里去才怪哩，她急忙拉着儿子的手，从裁缝家里走出来了。 他们在路上碰见一个鞋匠，只见他迈着大步，口里唱着山歌。农妇把他叫住，问他哪一种工作是的工作。 鞋匠回答说：“鞋匠的工作最，我们不明白忧和愁，我们只明白替人家做鞋子。”
