① 英語五年級小故事大全
A lion once fell in love with a beautiful girl， so he went to her parents and asked them to marry her to him，
The old parents did not know what to say，
They did not like the idea of giving their daughter to the lion， but they did not want to enrage the king of beasts，
At last the father said， "We are glad to marry our daughter to you， but we fear that you might possibly hurt her， So if you remove your claws and teeth， we will give her to you，"
The lion loved the girl very much， so he trimmed his claws and took out his big teeth， When he came to the parents again， they simply laughed in his face， and beat him out of their house，
一隻獅子愛上了一位美麗的女孩兒，便找到她的父母向她求婚。
女孩兒的父親不知道該如何回答，他不忍將女兒許配給野獸，但又害怕激怒這獸中之王。
於是父親說：「我們很樂意將女兒嫁給你，但又怕你不小心傷害她，如果你拔去牙齒，剁掉利爪，我們就將女兒嫁給你。」
獅子非常愛這個女孩兒，於是他修剪了爪子，拔掉了尖牙後又去找女孩的父母。可是這時，他們嘲笑他，並把他趕了出去。
寓意:有些人輕易相信別人的話，拋棄自己的長處，結果輕而易舉地被原來害怕他們的人擊敗了。

愛迪生的故事
愛迪生上小學三個月就退學了，而且是個有聽力障礙的孩子，怎麼成長為世界最偉大的發明家了呢？我們大家都知道是母親南希給了他很大的影響。南希沒有高深的文化背景，在當時也沒有什麼科學的教育方法和先進的教育理念做指導，但是南希是怎樣對愛迪生進行教育的呢？其中的詳情無人知曉，所以，我特別注意收集了一些這方面的資料，我發現這對母子之間的關系中讓我感觸最深的一條，那就是：用無條件的愛來包容孩子的一切，孩子的心靈會得到支撐，這樣的支撐將終身成為心靈的珍寶。
說起愛迪生的家庭教育，我們還得從愛迪生退學開始。關於愛迪生退學的原因，大家都知道是因為愛迪生問「老師，為什麼一加一是二？」老師說「愛迪生，你拿一支鉛筆再加一隻鉛筆，不就變成兩支鉛筆了嗎？」 「可是老師，拿兩只杯子里的水放到另一隻杯子里，水就集中在一個杯子里了呀，一加一怎麼會是二呢？」老師不知如何回答了。「老師，兩塊泥巴粘在一起就是一塊，為什麼一加一是二，也許一加一是一。」這時老師發火了：「真煩！你自己去想去吧。」於是老師又繼續上課。愛迪生又舉手了，「什麼事，愛迪生？」老師強壓住火氣問。「老師，為什麼會起風？」「老師，雞蛋為什麼會孵出小雞？」老師說：「那是因為母雞給雞蛋加溫了。」「老師，為什麼給雞蛋加溫就能孵出小雞？」愛迪生又問了許多為什麼，什麼「魚為什麼不會被淹死？」「天空為什麼是藍色的」。等等的為什麼讓老師終於忍無可忍，將他狠狠地罵了他一頓：「真煩，混蛋，老老實實學你的算數！你是傻瓜嗎？像你這樣讀書也是白讀。愛迪生哭這回家了。媽媽聽了兒子的訴說，拉著愛迪生的手到學校找到老師，質問了老師：你是不是說我兒子是傻瓜笨蛋，讀書也是白讀？老師無言以對。 「我明白了，兒子有我自己來教育，不用麻煩老師了，再見。」拉著兒子的手回家了，南希一邊走一邊想「恩格爾老師強迫孩子把教科書的完整地默記下來，兒子覺的反感，兩人才陷入僵局的。我不強制他，我要和他一起享受思考的快樂。默記教科書的內容，見鬼去吧！默記教科書長大一點用都沒有，活的教材不是遍地都是嗎？」南希暗暗發誓：「要給兒子嘗試絕不輸給其他孩子的教育」。從此開始了對愛迪生的家庭教育。
這個學校是媽媽和兒子兩個人的學校，母親教他學習算數、英語、文學、理科、社會……什麼都在一起學。但母親從不不拘泥於教科書，而是注意身邊發生的事。
愛迪生孵蛋的故事大家都知道，而且有很多種說法。在我收集的資料里媽媽是這樣做的。媽媽說：「愛迪生，昨天鴨蛋孵出小鴨來了。」愛迪生好奇地就問：「媽媽，鴨蛋為什麼能孵出小鴨來？」媽媽說：「是因為鴨媽媽抱著鴨蛋加溫的呀。」愛迪生又問：「為什麼給鴨蛋加溫就能孵吃小鴨來？」媽媽說「是啊，為什麼呢？」「我試試也許就明白了。」媽媽高興地說「好啊，你去試試吧。」於是，愛迪生就把鴨蛋抱在懷里孵蛋了，結果孵了兩天也沒有動靜。兒子大失所望，媽媽溫和地對他說：「很遺憾吧，愛迪生。」「是啊，媽媽，我也給鴨蛋加溫了，為什麼孵不出小鴨來呢？」「是啊，你去查查網路全書吧。」於是，母子兩一起查網路全書，愛迪生查蛋項，媽媽查鳥項。雖然沒有什麼結果，但愛迪生卻學到了許許多多關於鳥和蛋的知識。兩個人一起探討著學校學不到的有關風、花、魚等許許多多的知識。南希從不給他答案，而是一起和他翻閱網路全書，和他一起思考，幫助兒子對學科感到好奇，有這樣的好奇就會不斷學下去。以知識淵博而聞名的發明家愛迪生的起點就在和媽媽一起學習的網路全書里。每天晚上，媽媽就睡在兒子的旁邊，把名著一本一本地讀給他聽，以此代替兒歌。後來，讀書這個習慣對愛迪生來說像呼吸一樣自然。愛迪生的愛讀書和快讀是著稱於世界的。

④ 五年級英語小故事
There was a man who had seven sons, but he had no daughter, greatly though he longed for one. At last his wife told him that they could again expect a child and, sure enough, when it was born it was a baby girl. There was great rejoicing, but the child was weak and puny, so weak that it had to be christened at once. The father told one of the boys to go quickly to the spring and fetch christening water; the other six ran along with him, and because each of them wanted to be the first to dip the jug into the well, it fell in and sank. So there they stood and didn『t know what to do, and none of them dared go home. When they didn『t come back their father got impatient and said:「 I『ll wager they『ve been playing some game again and forgotten all about it, the godless brats.「 He was afraid the little girl would have to die unbaptized, and in his rage he cried out:「 I wish those boys would all turn into ravens.「 He『d scarcely spoken the words when he heard a whirring of wings in the air overhead, looked up and saw seven coal-black ravens flying away.
有個人，他有七個兒子，他很希望有個女兒，可是怎麼盼也沒有。好不容易，妻子又懷孕了。生下來一看，果然是個女孩。他們非常高興。但是孩子太小，又非常虛弱，非得馬上急救洗禮不可。父親打發一個男孩立即到井台去打洗禮水，其餘六個也跟著去了。在井台旁，他們都爭著先打水，結果罐子掉進井裡，沉了下去。他們不知道該怎麼辦才好，都真楞楞地站在那兒，誰也不敢回家了。父親在家裡等得不耐煩了，就說：「我敢說這些無法無天的孩子一定是貪玩，把打水的事給忘了。」他擔心女孩子不經洗禮會死，就生氣地大聲喊起來：「淘氣鬼，都變成烏鴉才好呢！」這話剛出口，就聽到頭頂有「吧噠吧噠」鳥兒拍打翅膀的聲音。他抬頭一看，只見空中有七隻漆黑漆黑的烏鴉飛過去了。
The parents were unable now to take back the curse, and yet, grief-stricken as they were at the loss of their seven sons, they look some comfort from their beloved little daughter, who soon got well and strong and became more beautiful with every day that passed. For a long time the little girl didn『t even know that she had had brothers, for her parents took care not to mention them, but one day by chance she heard some peop

My father was an exceptional man. He may not have been a perfect man. But he was a good man. And he loved us. All I wanted to do today was to give him a dignified…sending. Is that really so much to ask?
So... Maybe... Maybe he had some things he liked to do. Life isn't simple. It's complicated. We're all just thrown in here together in a world full of chaos（混沌，混亂） and confusion, a world full of questions and no answers, with Death always lingering（徘徊，沉思） around the corner.
And we do our best. We can't always do our best. My dad did it best. He always tried to tell me, you have to go for what you want in life, because you never know how long you're gonna be here. And whether you succeed or you fail, the most important thing is to have tried. A parent can only drive you in the right direction. In the end though, you've got to run for yourself. You have to grow up yourself.
So when you leave here today, I'd like you to remember my father for what he really was--a decent and loving man. If only（要是……多好） we could be as giving and generous and understanding as my father was. Then the world would be a far better place.

戰國時代有個楚國人祭他的祖先。儀式結束後，他拿出一壺酒賞給手下的幾個人。大家商量說：「我們都來畫蛇，誰先畫好誰就喝這壺酒。」其中有一個人先畫好了。但他看到同伴還沒有畫完，就又給蛇添上了腳。這時，另一個人也畫好了，奪過酒壺吧酒喝了，並且說：「蛇本來是沒有腳的，你怎麼能給它添上腳呢？」
In the Warring States Period, a man in the State of Chu was offering a sacrifice to his ancestors. After the ceremony, the man gave a beaker of wine to his servants. The servants thought that there was not enough wine for all them, and decided to each draw a picture of a snake; the one who finished the picture first would get the wine. One of them drew very rapidly. Seeing that the others were still busy drawing, he added feet to the snake. At this moment another man finished, snatched the beaker and drank the wine, saying, 'A snake doesn't have feet. How can you add feet to a snake? '

The Monkeys' Ration朝三暮四
There was once a man who raised monkeys at home. In time, he understood the monkeys quite well.
從前有個人，在家飼養了一批猴子。久而久之，他很了解猴子的感情。
The man was not rich and often had to cut down his household expenses to feed the monkeys. When times turned rough, he had to rece the monkeys'feed as well.
養猴人並不富有，常常要節衣縮食去喂飽猴子。不過，當境況變得更壞時，他只好減少猴子的食糧。
The man was afraid that the monkeys would not remain tame. To test their response, he told the monkeys, "Fro, now on, I'll give each of you three chestnuts in the morning and four at night. Is that all right with you?"
養猴人生怕猴子會因此而變得不聽話，便用試探它們的口氣說：「從今天起，我每天早上給你們三顆栗子，晚上再給四顆，好嗎？」
When the monkeys learned that their ration was to be reced, they flew into a rage. Seeing how mad the monkeys were, the man corrected himself at once.
猴子一聽到養猴人要減少它們的食糧，都非常生氣。
"All right," he told them, "I'll give you four chestnuts in the morning and three at night then."
於是，養猴人馬上改口說：「那麼，改為早上給四顆，晚上再給三顆。」
This satisfied the monkeys, and they all jumped for joy.
猴子就感到滿意，歡欣鼓舞起來。

濫竽充數
The Man Who Faked His Music
King Xuan of Qi was fond of music. In particular, he enjoyed listening to a wind instrument called the "yu". He appreciated it most when the yu was played by a band of about three hundred musicians. 齊宣王喜歡聽竽，尤其是三百人大樂隊的吹奏。
One time there was a vacancy in the royal band. When Nanguo heard about it, he applied for the post. 有一次，宣王招聘樂師。南郭先生聽到了這消息，就前往應聘。
Nanguo was not a musician at all. He had applied for the post simply because he was poor and it paid well. 南郭先生其實不會吹竽。他應聘的原因，是因為他家貧，兼且樂師的待遇又豐厚。
Nanaguo was lucky. Nobody knew he was faking. His luck did not last long, though, because King Xuan soon died and young Prince Min became king.
南郭先生相當幸運，沒有人發覺他在樂隊中裝模做樣，冒充內行。可是好景不常，宣王不久去世，閔王繼位。
King Min also enjoyed listening to the yu. Unlike his father, he preferred listening to the musicians playing solo. As soons as Nanguo got wind of the news, he sneaked away as fast as he could. 閔王也愛聽竽，不過，他跟他的父親不同，他喜歡聽樂師們一一獨奏。南郭先生知道後，便馬上溜走了。
六
郭氏之墟(the ruin of the capital of Guo Shi)
On a vacation trip, Duke Huan of the state of Qi came to the ruin of the capital of Guo Shi , which perished long ago.
Seeing the desolate and bleak prospects of broken tiles, collapsed walls, and clusters of weeds, he could not help asking the local people about the reason of the ruin of Guo Shi.
They replied,"Guo Shi was fond of doing good deeds, and averse to evildoing, which led to the perdition."
When the Duke could not understand the answer, people explained ," Though he liked doing good, he had never been able to do so; though he hated evildoing, never could he help not participating. That caused the ruin of his capital."
齊桓公出遊途中，來到已經滅亡許久的郭氏都城的廢墟。
看到瓦礫殘垣、雜草叢生的蕭條景象，忍不住問當地百姓郭氏滅亡的原因。
百姓們回答說："郭氏由於喜愛善行善事。厭惡邪惡醜行而導致滅亡。"
齊桓公不能理解這種回答，百姓們便解釋說："郭氏雖然喜愛善行善事，但從來都不能做到；盡管厭惡邪惡醜行，卻總是忍不住參與其中。這就是他的都城變成廢墟的原因。"
七
老鼠和公牛(a mouse and a bull)
A mouse once took a bite out of a bull's tail as he lay dozing. The bull jumped up in a rage and, with his head low to the ground, chased the mouse right across the yard. The mouse was too quick for him, however, and slipped easily into a hole in the wall.
The bull charged the wall furiously again and again, but although he bruised his head and chipped his horns, the mouse stayed safely inside his hole. After a time the bull gave up and sank down to rest again.
As soon as the bull was asleep, the little mouse crept to the mouth of the hole, pattered across the yard, bit the bull again -- this time on the nose -- and rushed back to safety. As the bull roared helplessly the mouse squeaked:
"It's not always the big people who come off best. Sometimes the small ones win, you know."
老鼠和公牛
有一次，公牛躺著打盹，一隻老鼠咬了他的尾巴。公牛怒氣沖沖地跳起來，低著頭追老鼠，一直追過院子。然而，老鼠跑得比他快多了，從容地鑽到牆洞里去了。
公牛一次又一次地猛撞牆壁，盡管頭撞腫了，角撞裂了，老鼠卻安然待在洞里。過了一會兒，公牛不撞了，倒下歇著。
公牛剛睡著，小老鼠就爬到洞口，嗒嗒地跑過院子，又咬了公牛一口 ?? 這回咬了鼻子 ?? 又跑回安全的地方去。當公牛毫無辦法地吼叫時，老鼠吱吱叫道：
"大人物並不總占上風。有時小人物也會取勝。"

男孩和蕁麻(a boy and a nettle)
A boy was playing in the fields when he was stung by a nettle . He ran home to
tell his mother what had happened.
"I only touched it lightly," he said, "and the nasty thing stung me."
"It stung you because you only touched it lightly," his mother told him." Next time you touch a nettle grasp it as tightly as you can. Then it won't sting you at all."
Face danger boldly.
男孩和蕁麻
有個男孩子在地里玩耍，被蕁麻刺痛了。他跑回家去，告訴媽媽出了什麼事。
"我不過輕輕地碰了它一下，"他說，"那討厭的東西就把我刺痛了。"
"你只輕輕地碰了它一下，所以它才刺痛你，"媽媽對他說，"下一回你再碰到蕁麻，就盡量緊緊地抓住它。那它就根本不會刺痛你了。"
要敢於面對危險。
九
鸚鵡和貓( a parrot and a cat)
A man once bought a brilliantly-coloured parrot. Instead of locking it up in a cage or chaining it to a perch, he allowed it to fly free all over the house. The parrot was delighted at this and flapped from room to room, shrieking and screaming with happiness. At last he settled on the edge of a rich curtain.
"Who on earth are you ?" said a cross voice from below. "Stop that terrible noise at once."
The parrot saw a cat staring up at him from the carpet.
"I 'm a parrot. I 've just arrived and I 'm to make as much noise as I can," he said.
"Well, I 've lived here all my life," replied the cat ."I was born in this very house and I learned from my mother that it is best to keep quiet here."
"Keep quiet then, "said the parrot cheerfully. "I don't know what you do around here, but I know my job. My master bought me for my voice and I'm going to make sure he hears it."
Different people are valued for different things.
鸚鵡和貓
從前，有人買了一隻毛色鮮艷的鸚鵡。他沒有把鸚鵡關在籠子里，也沒有用鏈條把他拴在棲木上，而讓他在家裡自由自在地飛來飛去。鸚鵡對此非常高興，撲動翅膀，從一間屋子飛到另一間屋子，愉快地尖聲叫著，最後停在華麗的帷幔的邊上。
"你到底是誰？"從下面傳來怒氣沖沖的說話聲，"馬上住嘴，別發出那難聽的聲音。"
鸚鵡看見地毯上有一隻貓抬頭看著他。
"我是鸚鵡。 我剛到，我要使勁地吵吵。"他說。 "那你就一聲不響吧，"鸚鵡歡快地說，"我不知道你在這兒干什麼，可我知道我的活兒。主人為了我的聲音才買我，我一定得讓他聽到。"
不同的人因有不同的特點而受重視。

野豬和狐狸( A wild boar and a fox)
A wild boar was sharpening his tusks against a tree one day when a fox came by.
"What are you doing that for?" asked the fox . "There are no hunters around. Everything looks very peaceful to me ."
"Quite true, "said the boar, "but when the hunter does come with his dogs I shall be too busy running away to have time for this . So let me sharpen my tusks while I can."
Be prepared .
野豬和狐狸
有一天，野豬在樹上磨牙齒，狐狸走過來。
"你為什麼干這個呀？"狐狸問，"附近又沒有獵人，我覺得平安無事。"
"不錯，"野豬說，"但是，如果獵人真的帶著獵狗來了，我只能逃走，就沒工夫干這個了。趁我現在可以磨，就讓我磨磨牙齒吧。"
時刻准備著（有備無患）
⑤ 小學五年級英語小故事
The Thirsty Pigeon口渴的鴿子
A PIGEON, oppressed by excessive thirst, saw a goblet of water painted on a signboard. Not supposing it to be only a picture, she flew towards it with a loud whir and unwittingly dashed against the signboard, jarring herself terribly. Having broken her wings by the blow, she fell to the ground, and was caught by one of the bystanders.
Zeal should not outrun discretion.
有隻鴿子口渴得很難受，看見畫板上畫著一個水瓶，以為是真的。他立刻呼呼地猛飛過 去，不料一頭碰撞在畫板上，折斷了翅膀，摔在地上，被人輕易地捉住了。
這是說，有些人想急於得到所需的東西，一時沖動，草率從事，就會身遭不幸。
The Raven and the Swan烏鴉和天鵝
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.
烏鴉非常羨慕天鵝潔白的羽毛。他猜想天鵝一定是經常洗澡，羽毛才變得如此潔白無 瑕。於是，他毅然離開了他賴以生存的祭壇，來到江湖邊。他天天洗刷自己的羽毛，不但一 點都沒洗白，反而因缺少食物飢餓而死。
這故事是說，人的本性不會隨著生活方式的改變而改變。
The Goat and the Goatherd 山羊與牧羊人
A GOATHERD had sought to bring back a stray goat to his flock. He whistled and sounded his horn in vain; the straggler paid no attention to the summons. At last the Goatherd threw a stone, and breaking its horn, begged the Goat not to tell his master. The Goat replied, "Why, you silly fellow, the horn will speak though I be silent."
Do not attempt to hide things which cannot be hid.
很多山羊被牧羊人趕到羊圈裡。有一隻山羊不知在吃什麼好東西，單獨落在後面。牧羊 人拿起一塊石頭扔了過去，正巧打斷了山羊的一隻角。牧羊人嚇得請求山羊不要告訴主人， 山羊說：「即使我不說，又怎能隱瞞下去呢？我的角已斷了，這是十分明顯的事實。」
這故事說明，明顯的罪狀是無法隱瞞的。
The Miser守財奴
A MISER sold all that he had and bought a lump of gold, which he buried in a hole in the ground by the side of an old wall and went to look at daily. One of his workmen observed his frequent visits to the spot and decided to watch his movements. He soon discovered the secret of the hidden treasure, and digging down, came to the lump of gold, and stole it. The Miser, on his next visit, found the hole empty and began to tear his hair and to make loud lamentations. A neighbor, seeing him overcome with grief and learning the cause, said, "Pray do not grieve so; but go and take a stone, and place it in the hole, and fancy that the gold is still lying there. It will do you quite the same service; for when the gold was there, you had it not, as you did not make the slightest use of it."
有個守財奴變賣了他所有的家產，換回了金塊，並秘密地埋在一個地方。他每天走去看 看他的寶藏。有個在附近放羊的牧人留心觀察，知道了真情，趁他走後，挖出金塊拿走了。 守財奴再來時，發現洞中的金塊沒有了，便捶胸痛哭。有個人見他如此悲痛，問明原因後， 說道：「喂，朋友，別再難過了，那塊金子雖是你買來的，但並不是你真正擁有的。去拿一 塊石頭來，代替金塊放在洞里，只要你心裡想著那是塊金子，你就會很高興。這樣與你擁有 真正的金塊效果沒什麼不同。依我之見，你擁有那金塊時，也從沒用過。」
這故事說明，一切財物如不使用等於沒有。
The Wolf and the Lamb 狼與小羊
WOLF, meeting with a Lamb astray from the fold, resolved not to lay violent hands on him, but to find some plea to justify to the Lamb the Wolf's 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." Upon 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.
一隻小羊在河邊喝水，狼見到後，便想找一個名正言順的借口吃掉他。於是他跑到上游，惡狠狠地說小羊把河水攪渾濁了，使他喝不到清水。小羊回答說，他僅僅站在河邊喝水，並且又在下游，根本不可能把上游的水攪渾。狼見此計不成，又說道：「我父親去年被你罵過。」小羊說，那時他還沒有出生。狼對他說：「不管你怎樣辯解，反正我不會放過 你。」
這說明，對惡人做任何正當的辯解也是無效的。
The Bat and the Weasels蝙蝠與黃鼠狼
A BAT who fell upon the ground and was caught by a Weasel pleaded to be spared his life. The Weasel refused, saying that he was by nature the enemy of all birds. The Bat assured him that he was not a bird, but a mouse, and thus was set free. Shortly afterwards the Bat again fell to the ground and was caught by another Weasel, whom he likewise entreated not to eat him. The Weasel said that he had a special hostility to mice. The Bat assured him that he was not a mouse, but a bat, and thus a second time escaped.
It is wise to turn circumstances to good account.
蝙蝠掉落在地上，被黃鼠狼叼去，他請求饒命。黃鼠狼說絕不會放過他，自己生來痛恨鳥類。蝙蝠說他是老鼠，不是鳥，便被放了。後來蝙蝠又掉落了下來，被另一隻黃鼠狼叼住，他再三請求不要吃他。這只黃鼠狼說他恨一切鼠類。蝙蝠改口說自己是鳥類，並非老 鼠，又被放了。這樣，蝙蝠兩次改變了自己的名字，終於死裡逃生。
這故事說明，我們遇事要隨機應變方能避免危險。
The Ass and the Grasshopper 驢子與蚱蜢
AN 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 voices. They replied, "The dew." The Ass resolved that he would live only upon dew, and in a short time died of hunger.
驢子聽見蚱蜢唱歌，被美妙動聽的歌聲所打動，自己也想能發出同樣悅耳動聽的聲音，便 羨慕地問他們吃些什麼，才能發出如此美妙的聲音來。蚱蜢答道：「吃露水。」驢子便也只吃露水，沒多久就餓死了。
這個故事告訴人們不要企望非份之物。
The Lion and the Mouse 獅子與報恩的老鼠
A LION was awakened from sleep by a Mouse running over his face. Rising up angrily, 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 and gnawed the rope with his teeth and set him free, exclaiming:
"You ridiculed the idea of my ever being able to help you, expecting to receive from me any repayment of your favor; now you know that it is possible for even a Mouse to con benefits on a Lion."
獅子睡著了，有隻老鼠跳到了他身上。獅子猛然站起來，把他抓住，准備吃掉。老鼠請求饒命，並說如果保住性命，必將報恩，獅子輕蔑地笑了笑，便把他放走了。不久，獅子真的被老鼠救了性命。原來獅子被一個獵人抓獲，並用繩索把他捆在一棵樹上。老鼠聽到了他 的哀嚎，走過去咬斷繩索，放走了獅子，並說：
「你當時嘲笑我，不相信能得到我的報答， 現在可清楚了，老鼠也能報恩。」 這故事說明，時運交替變更，強者也會有需要弱者的時候。
Fox and cock
One morning a fox sees a cock.He
think,"This is my breakfast.''
He comes up to the cock and says,"I know
you can sing very well.Can you sing for me?''The

The people in the field see the fox.They cry,"Look,look!The fox is carrying the cock away.''The cock says to the fox,"Mr Fox,do you understand?The people say you are carrying their cock away.Tell them it is yours.Not theirs.''
The fox opens his mouth and says,"The cock is mine,not yours.''Just then the cock runs away from the fox and flies into the tree.
狐狸和公雞
一天早上，一隻狐狸看到了一隻公雞。他想：這是我的早餐。
他朝公雞走來，對他說：「我知道，你能唱得非常好聽，你能唱給我聽么？瀨戶早妃」公雞很高興。他閉上眼睛開始唱歌。狐狸看到這些抓住它放到自己的嘴裡走了。
在田地里的人們看到了狐狸。大喊大叫：「看，看！狐狸抓住公雞逃走了。」公雞對狐狸說：「狐狸先生，你能理解么？人們認為你叼走了公雞。告訴他們這是你的，不是他們的。」
狐狸張開她的嘴說：「公雞是我的，不是你們的。」就在那時，。公雞跑到了樹底下。

獅子和老鼠 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 favor； but now you know that it is possible for even a Mouse to confer benefits on a Lion.」
一隻老鼠從一隻獅子面前跑過去,將它從夢中吵醒.獅子生氣地跳起來,捉住老鼠,要弄死它.老鼠哀求說：「只要你肯饒恕我這條小生命,我將來一定會報答你的大恩.」獅子便笑著放了它.
後來獅子被幾個獵人捉住,用粗繩捆綁倒在地上.老鼠聽出是獅子的吼聲,走來用牙齒咬斷繩索,釋放了他,並大聲說：「你當時嘲笑我想幫你的忙,而且也不指望我有什麼機會報答.但是你現在知道了,就算是小老鼠,也能向獅子效勞的.」
