经典英语小故事【第一篇】

The miser and his gold Once upon a time there was a miser。 He hid his gold under a tree。 Every week he used to dig it up。

One night a robber stole all the gold。 When the miser came again， he found nothing but an empty hole。

He was surprised， and then burst into tears。All the neighbors gathered around him。

He told them how he used to e and visit his gold。

"Did you ever take any of it out?" asked one of them。 "No，" he said， "I only came to look at it。" "Then e again and look at the hole，" said the neighbor， "it will be the same as looking at the gold。"

守财奴

从前，有个守财奴将他的金块埋到一棵树下，每周他都去把他挖出来看看。

一天晚上，一个小偷挖走了所有的金块。 守财奴再来查看时，发现除了一个空洞什么都没有了。

守财奴便捶胸痛哭。哭声引来了邻居

他告诉他们那里原先有他的金块。

问明了原因后，一个邻居问：“你使用过这些金块吗？” “没用过，” 他说，“我只是时常来看看。”“那么，以后再来看这个洞，”邻居说，“就像以前有金块时一样。”

经典英语小故事【第二篇】

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。

狼和小羊

一只狼瞧见一只迷路失群的小羊，决定暂缓下毒手，想先找一些理由，对小羊证明自我有吃它的权利。它就说：「小鬼！你去年以往骂过我。」小羊可怜地说：「老实说，我去年还没有出生呢。」狼再说：「你在我的草地上吃过草。」

小羊回答说：「不，好先生，我还未曾尝过草的味道呢。」狼又说：「你喝过我井里的水。」小羊叫道：「不，我从没有喝过水，因为直到今日为止，我都是吃着母亲的奶汁。」狼一听这话，便抓住它，把它吃下去，便说：「好！即使你驳倒我每一句话，我终究要吃晚餐的！」暴君总有他暴行的借口。

英语小故事【第三篇】

A singing-bird was confined1 in a cage which hung outside a window, and had a way of singing at night when all other birds were asleep. One night a bat came and clung2 to the bars of the cage, and asked the bird why she was silent by day and sang only at night. "I have a very good reason for doing so," said the bird: "it was once when I was singing in the daytime that a fowler was attracted by my voice, and set his nets for me and caught me. Since then I have never sung except by night." But the bat replied, "It is no use your doing that now when you are a prisoner. If only you had done so before you were caught, you might still have been free."

Precautions3 are useless after the event.

一只画眉鸟被囚禁在窗外挂着的一个笼子里，当其他鸟儿都酣睡时，她却在夜里唱歌。有一个夜晚，蝙蝠飞过来，抓住鸟笼的。栅栏，问她为什么白天默默无声，却在夜里放声歌唱。小鸟回答说：“我这样做是有道理的，曾经有一次，当我在白天唱歌时，一个捕鸟人被我的歌声吸引，就用鸟笼子捉住了我。从此我只在夜里歌唱。”可是，蝙蝠却说：“你现在这样做根本没用了，因为你已经成为阶下囚。若是在被捉住之前这样做就好了，那样或许你依然是自由之身！”

待事情发生之后再预防，为时已晚。

经典英语小故事【第四篇】

The City Mouse and the Country Mouse

Once there were two mice。 They were friends。 One mouse lived in the country; the other mouse lived in the city。 After many years the Country mouse saw the City mouse; he said， "Do e and see me at my house in the country。" So the City mouse went。 The City mouse said， "This food is not good， and your house is …山草香 …not good。 Why do you live in a hole in the field? You should e and live in the city。 You would live in a nice house made of stone。 You would have nice food to eat。 You must e and see me at my house in the city。"

The Country mouse went to the house of the City mouse。 It was a very good house。 Nice food was set ready for them to eat。 But just as they began to eat they heard a great noise。 The City mouse cried， " Run! Run! The cat is ing!" They ran away quickly and hid。

After some time they came out。 When they came out， the Country mouse said， "I do not like living in the city。 I like living in my hole in the field。 For it is nicer to be poor and happy， than to be rich and afraid。"

城里老鼠和乡下老鼠

从前，有两只老鼠，它们是好朋友。一只老鼠居住在乡村，另一只住在城里。很多年以后，乡下老鼠碰到城里老鼠，它说：“你必须要来我乡下的家看看。”于是，城里老鼠就去了。乡下老鼠领着它到了一块田地上它自我的家里。它把所有最精美食物都找出来给城里老鼠。城里老鼠说：“这东西不好吃，你的家也不好，你为什么住在田野的地洞里呢？你应当搬到城里去住，你能住上用石头造的漂亮房子，还会吃上美味佳肴，你应当到我城里的家看看。”

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。因为这样虽然贫穷可是欢乐自在，比起虽然富有却要过着提心吊胆的生活来说，要好些。
