1、The Cock and the Jewel（公鸡和宝石）
A cock, scratching in the farmyard for food for the hens, turned up a precious stone that shone and sparked in the sun.
"Well," said the Cock, "I don’t know what you are doing here. You are a very beautiful thing, and no doubt if your owner found you he would be delighted, but you are no good to me. I would rather have one grain of delicious barley than all the precious stones under the sun!"
MORAL: Judge thins by their true value.
公鸡在农家的庭院里用爪子搔呀刨呀，为母鸡觅食。他从地里翻出了一粒宝石，那粒宝石在阳光下闪闪发光。
“喂！”公鸡说，“我不知道你在这儿干吗。你是一个挺美丽的玩意儿。如果你被主人发现，毫无疑问，他一定会喜出望外，可是，你对我却没有丝毫用处。我情愿要一棵美味的大麦，而不要天下所有的宝石。”
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？”
“不，”老虎说，“我错误地判断了我的敌人，是那边那个不可战胜的人打败了我。”

Dad: Oh, yes. How stupid I am!

The Old Cat
An old woman had a cat. The cat was very old; she could not run quickly, and she could not bite, because she was so old. One day the old cat saw a mouse; she jumped and caught the mouse. But she could not bite it; so the mouse got out of her mouth and ran away, because the cat could not bite it.
Then the old woman became very angry because the cat had not killed the mouse. She began to hit the cat. The cat said, "Do not hit your old servant. I have worked for you for many years, and I would work for you still, but I am too old. Do not be unkind to the old, but remember what good work the old did when they were young."
一位老妇有只猫，这只猫很老，它跑不快了，也咬不了东西，因为它年纪太大了。一天，老猫发现一只老鼠，它跳过去抓这只老鼠，然而，它咬不住这只老鼠。因此，老鼠从它的嘴边溜掉了，因为老猫咬不了它。
于是，老妇很生气，因为老猫没有把老鼠咬死。她开始打这只猫，猫说：“不要打你的老仆人，我已经为你服务了很多年，而且还愿意为你效劳，但是，我实在太老了，对年纪大的不要这么无情，要记住老年人在年青时所做过的有益的事情。”
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."
断尾的狐狸
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。”
寓意: 有些人为了自己的利益而劝告他人，我们不能轻信他们的意见。
An unlucky fox fell into a well. It was quite deep, so he could not get out by himself..
A goat passed by. He asked the fox what he was doing in the well. "Oh, have you not heard?" said the fox. "There is going to be a great drought, so I jumped down to get some water. Why don’t you come down here too?"
The goat believed his words, and jumped down into the well.
But the fox immediately jumped on the goat’s back and up to the edge of the well. "Good-bye, friend," said the fox. "Remember next time don’t trust the advice of a man in difficulties."
狐狸和山羊
一只不走运的狐狸，失足掉到了井里。井很深，他无法跳出来。
一只山羊经过这里，便问狐狸在井下做什么。狐狸说：“哦，你没有听说吗？这里将要大旱，因此我跳进来取水，为什么你不下来一起喝呢？”
山羊相信了狐狸的话，就真的跳进井里。狐狸立即跳上山羊的背，又一跳，跳上了井沿。
“再见，朋友，”狐狸说，“记住，不要相信一个身陷麻烦的人的建议。”
寓意: 处于困境之中的人为了摆脱困境，往往不惜牺牲别人的利益，所以他们的建议常常是不可信的。
A wolf wanted to eat the sheep, but he was afraid of the vigilant shepherd and his dogs.
One day the wolf found the skin of a sheep. He put it on and walked among the sheep.
A lamb thought that the wolf was its mother because his skin looked like hers. So it followed the wolf.
Soon after they had left the dogs, the wolf came at the lamb and ate it up. For some time he succeeded in deceiving the sheep, and enjoying hearty meals.
披着羊皮的狼
狼想吃羊，但是他害怕警惕的牧羊人和牧羊犬。
有一天狼发现了一块羊皮，便披着它混入羊群。
一只小羊羔把这只披着羊皮的狼误认为自己的妈妈，被领出了羊群。
狼成功地欺骗了羊群，吃掉了小羊羔。
寓意: 事物的外表有时候会掩盖它的本质，所以我们不能只凭表面现象就作判断。
Once a fox invited a stork to dinner. He put nothing on the table except some soup in a very shallow dish.
The fox could easily lap up the soup, but the stork could only wet the end of her long bill in it.
When she left the meal, she was still very hungry. "I am sorry," said the fox, "the soup is not to your taste."
"Please do not apologize," said the stork. "I hope you will come to my house, and dine with me soon."
A few days later the fox visited the stork. He found that his food was put in a long bottle, and the mouth of the bottle was very narrow.
He could not insert his big mouth into it, so he ate nothing. "I will not apologize," said the stork. "One bad turn deserves another."
狐狸和鹤
一次，狐狸请鹤来吃饭。他除了浅盘子中的一点汤以外，什么也没有准备。
狐狸可以轻而易举地喝到汤，但是鹤只够蘸湿他长长的嘴尖。吃完饭后，鹤仍旧很饥饿。“很抱歉,”狐狸说,“这汤不合你的口味”。
“别客气，”鹤说，“过几天请到我家来和我一起吃饭吧。”
几天后，狐狸应邀而至，他发现食物都装在一个长长的瓶子里，而瓶口很细，他无法将他的大嘴伸进去，什么也吃不到。“我不想道歉，这是你应得的回报。”鹤说。
寓意: 如果我们故意去伤害别人，最终只会害了自己。
Once upon a time a wolf was lapping at a stream. When he looked up, he saw a lamb drinking a little lower down.
"There’s my supper," he thought. "I will find some excuse to catch it." Then he called out to the lamb, "How dare you muddle the water?" "No, master," said the lamb. "I cannot muddle your water because it runs down from you to me."
"Well, then," said the wolf. "Why did you call me bad names this time last year?" "It was impossible," said the lamb. "I am only six months old."
"I don’t care," shouted the wolf. "If it was not you, it must be your father." After that he rushed at the poor little lamb and ate it up.
狼与小羊
从前，一只狼在溪流喝水，看到一只小羊在下游喝水。
“那是我的晚餐，”狼想，“我要找一个借口吃掉他。”于是，他恶狠狠地对小羊说：“你怎么敢搅浑浊了我的水？”“我没有，先生，”小羊回答说，“我在下游喝水，怎么能搅浑浊你喝的水呢？”
“那么，”狼见此计不成，又说道，“你去年的今天为什么说我的坏话？”“不可能，”小羊说，“我现在才只有六个月大。”
“我不管，”狼说，“如果不是你，就是你的爸爸。”说完，他就冲向小山羊，把他吃掉了。
寓意: 当一个坏人想为自己所做的坏事寻找借口时，他不会在乎这个借口是否恰当。
The goose with the golden eggs
One morning a countryman went to his goose’s nest, and saw a yellow and glittering egg there.
He took the egg home. To his delight, he found that it was an egg of pure gold.
Every morning the same thing occurred, and he soon became rich by selling his eggs.
The countryman became more and more greedy. He wanted to get all the gold at once, so he killed the goose, when he looked inside, he found nothing in its body.
生金蛋的鹅
一天早晨，一位农夫发现自家的鹅窝中有一只金灿灿的蛋。
他将蛋带回家，惊喜地发现这是一个金蛋。
此后，农夫每天都能得到一个金蛋。从此，他靠卖他的金蛋变得富有起来。
农夫变得越来越贪婪，他想一下子得到鹅肚子中所有的金蛋。于是他杀死了鹅，但是，鹅肚子中什么也没有。
寓意: 如果不懂得知足，贪得无厌，我们就会失去已经拥有的东西。
The sick lion
A lion had come to the end of his days. He lay helpless under a tree.
The animals came around him. When they saw that he was going to die, they thought to themselves, "Now is the time to pay him back."
So the boar came up and rushed at him with his tusks.
Then a bull gored him with his horns. The lion still lay helpless before them.
So the ass felt quite safe. He turned his tail to the lion and kicked up his heels into his face.
"This is a double death." growled the lion.
老狮子
一头年老体衰的狮子病得有气无力，奄奄一息地躺在树下。
动物们围在他的周围，看到狮子快要死了，就来报复他。
一头野猪冲到他身旁，狠狠地咬他。
接着，一头野牛也用角来顶他，狮子无助地躺在那里。
当驴子看到可以对这庞大的野兽为所欲为时，也用他的蹄子用力去踢狮子的头部。这头快要断气的狮子说：“我已勉强忍受了勇者的施暴，但还得含羞忍受你这个小丑的侮辱，真是死不。
寓意: 无论过去多么辉煌，都难以避免辉煌失去后别人的不敬与报复。
The bat, the birds,and the beasts
There was a big fight between the birds and the beasts. The bat did not join in the fight.
Some birds said to the bat, "Come with us." But he replied, "I am a beast."
Later on, some beasts said to him, "Come with us." But he replied, "I am a bird."
At last the fighting ended peacefully. The bat first went to the birds, and wanted to join in the celebration, but they all turned against him. He then went to the beasts, but was also driven away.

鸟与野兽宣战，蝙蝠没有参战。
鸟对蝙蝠说：“加入我们吧。”蝙蝠回答说：“我是野兽。”
后来，一些野兽对蝙蝠说：“加入我们吧。”但是蝙蝠回答说：“我是鸟。”
当鸟和野兽宣告停战和平时，交战双方明白了蝙蝠的欺骗行为。蝙蝠来到鸟类当中，他们都敌视他，蝙蝠去野兽那里，也被赶走。
寓意: 两面三刀的人，最终不会有好的下场。
The hare and the tortoise
The hare was once boasting of his speed before the other animals. "I have never been beaten," he said, "when I run at full speed, no one is faster than me."
The tortoise said quietly, "I will race with you." "That is a good joke," said the hare. "I could dance around you the whole way."
The race started. The hare darted almost out of sight at once. He soon stopped and lay down to have a nap.
The tortoise plodded on and on. When the hare awoke from his nap, he saw the tortoise was near the finish line, and that he had lost the race.
龟兔赛跑
兔子向动物们夸耀他的速度，“我从来没有失败过，”他说，“当我奔跑时，没有人比我更快。”
乌龟平静地说：“我要与你比赛。”“真是笑话，我可以边玩边和你赛跑。”兔子说。
比赛开始了，一眨眼工夫，兔子已经跑得不见了踪影，但是他觉得自己跑得快，对比赛掉以轻心，躺在路边睡着了。
乌龟慢腾腾地却持续不停地走，当兔子一觉醒来，他看到乌龟已经快到终点线了。兔子输了比赛。
寓意: 骄兵必败；只有持之以恒，才能实现目标。
The lion and the fox
The lion once said that he was sick on his death bed.
So he asked all the animals to come and listen to his last wishes.
The goat came to the lion’s cave. He stood there and listened for a long time.
Then a sheep went in. Before she came out, a rabbit entered to hear the last wishes of the king of beasts.
But soon the lion seemed to recover, and went to the mouth of his cave.
He saw a fox waiting outside. "Why don’t you come in?" asked the lion to the fox.
"I beg Your Majesty’s pardon," said the fox, "I have seen many animals enter your cave, but none of them come out.
Till they come out again, I prefer to wait outside."

但是不久，狮子好像康复了，能走到洞口了，他看到狐狸站在洞口，就问：“你为什么不进来呢？”
“尊敬的殿下，”狐狸回答说，“如果我没发现只有进去的脚印，没有一个出来的脚印，我也许会进洞去。”
寓意: 我们必须小心别人的圈套，因为一旦进去了就很难再出来。

An old neighbour with white hair and white beard saw this and asked him, “Young man, why are you so upset everyday?” The young man answered, “I can’t understand why I am always so poor.” “Are you poor? You are rich, indeed.” The young man was rather confused,“What do you mean? ” The old man asked,“If one of your fingers is cut down, and you will get one thousand yuan from it, are you willing?” “No!” “If one of your hands is cut down, and you will get ten thousand yuan from it, are you willing?” “No!” “If both of your eyes become blind, and you will get one hundred thousand from it, are you willing?” “No!” “If you become an eighty-year-old man who is seriously ill, and you will get one million from it, are you willing?” “No!” “If you die now, and you will get ten million from it, are you willing?” “No!” “That’s it.

One day， he caught nothing except one small fish. “This isn‘t much，” thought the fisherman，“but it’s better than nothing.” The little fish hopped around in the net and cried out to the fisherman. “Please return me to the water！” he said. “I‘m too small to be a good dinner. Someday， I’ll be big and fat. You could catch me then and feed your family for a week！” The fisherman listened as the fish spoke. He knew his family would love a big， fat fish. But he also knew that the ocean was very big. If he threw the fish back， he would never find it again. “Little fish，” he said，“I would be a fool to put you back. You‘ll only be a small meal for my family， but at least they will have food. I cannot feed them with silly dreams！” Appreciate the small things that you have. Don’t give them up to chase impossible things. Vocabulary 1. fisherman n. 渔夫 2. hop v. 跳跃

Zeal should not outrun discretion. 有只鸽子口渴得很难受，看见画板上画着一个水瓶，以为是真的。他立刻呼呼地猛飞过去，不料一头碰撞在画板上，折断了翅膀，摔在地上，被人轻易地捉住了。 这是说，有些人想急于得到所需的东西，一时冲动，草率从事，就会身遭不幸。
2、The Raven and the Swan 乌鸦和天鹅 A RAVEN saw a Swan and desired to secure for himself the same beautiful plumage. Supposing that the Swan's splendid white color arose from his washing in the water in which he swam, the Raven left the altars in the neighborhood where he picked up his living, and took up residence in the lakes and pools. But cleansing his feathers as often as he would, he could not change their color, while through want of food he perished. Change of habit cannot alter Nature. 乌鸦非常羡慕天鹅洁白的羽毛。他猜想天鹅一定是经常洗澡，羽毛才变得如此洁白无瑕。于是，他毅然离开了他赖以生存的祭坛，来到江湖边。他天天洗刷自己的羽毛，不但一点都没洗白，反而因缺少食物饥饿而死。 这故事是说，人的本性不会随着生活方式的改变而改变。

A Good Boy Little Robert asked his mother for two cents. "What did you do with the money I gave you yesterday?" "I gave it to a poor old woman," he answered. "You're a good boy," said the mother proudly. "Here are two cents more. But why are you so interested in the old woman?" "She is the one who sells the candy." 译文： 好孩子 小罗伯特向妈妈要两分钱。 “昨天给你的钱干什么了？” “我给了一个可怜的老太婆，”他回答说。“你真是个好孩子，”妈妈骄傲地说。“再给你两分钱。可你为什么对那位老太太那么感兴趣呢？” “她是个卖糖果的。”
The Power of Compliment The following story is excerpted from "The Fine Art of Small Talk". Prior to my wedding, I had a conversation with my good friend Karen about all the arrangements. I told her that for a period of time, I had been seeing two men----Ben and Steve. She invited me to tell her about both of them. I said, "Ben has a great sense of hunmor. He's the life of the party. He dresses like a million bucks and has taken me on wonderful trips. We've been to Hilton Head, Europe, and had a bunch of weekend mountain getways. He's a great golfer and an all-around wonderful guy." Karen could hardly contain herself, she was so excited. She said: " He sounds like a dream. I'm so happy that you're marrying him." " I'm not," I replied, "I'm marrying Steve." Karen was speechless. Finally, she collected herself and said, " Well Debra, Ben sounds like a prince. Why are you marrying Steve?" " Beacuse he makes me feel so special because of all the wonderful things he says about me. And you know what? He means every of them." The power in a sincere compliment is enormous. There is nothing that makes people feel more special than to have their finer traits noted and appreciated. END
小学四年级英语小故事（三篇） A farmer and his son, traveling by horse and buggy up a narrow lane, met a motorist going the other way. There was no room to pass for two miles in either direction.
