儿童英语小故事1

There is a frog. He lives in a well and he never goes out of the well. He thinks the sky is as big as the mouth of the well.

One day a crow comes to the well. He sees the frog and says, "Frog, let's have a talk." Then the frog asks, "Where are you from?" "I fly from the sky," the crow says. The frog feels surprised and says, "The sky is only as big as the mouth of the well. How do you fly from the sky?"

The crow says, "The sky is very big. You always stay in the well, so you don't know the world is big."

The frog says, "I don't believe." But the crow says, "You can come out and have a look by yourself."

So the frog comes out from the well. He is very surprised. How big the world is!

在一口废弃的井里，居住着一只青蛙。这只小青蛙对自己生活的小天地可满意啦，一有机会就要吹嘘一番。

有一天，它吃饱喝足后，蹲在井栏上闲得无聊，忽然瞧见不远处有一只大海鳖在散步。青蛙赶紧扯开嗓门喊起话来：“喂，海鳖兄，快过来，快过来啊!”于是，海鳖来到枯井旁边。青蛙立刻打开了话匣子：“今天算你运气了，我让你开开眼界，参观一下我的住处。那简直是一座天堂!你大概从来也没有见过这样宽敞的住所吧?”海鳖探头往井里一瞧，只见浅浅的井底积了一汪长满绿苔的泥水，还闻到一股刺鼻的怪味儿。

海鳖皱了皱眉头，赶紧缩回了脑袋。青蛙根本没有注意海鳖的表情，挺着大肚子继续对海鳖夸口说：“你看，我住在这里多么惬意呀!我要高兴，就在井边跳跃游玩，累了就到井壁石洞里休息。有时把身子舒服地泡在水里，有时愉快地在稀泥中散散步。你看旁边的那些小昆虫、螃蟹和蝌蚪，它们谁能比我过得快乐呢!我独自一人占据这口废井，自由无比!海鳖兄，为什么不进到井中观赏游玩一下呢?”

海鳖听了青蛙的一番高谈阔论，感到盛情难却，便走向井口，可是左腿还没能全部伸进去，右腿的膝盖就被井栏卡住了。海鳖只好慢慢地退了回去，反问青蛙：“你见过大海吗?”青蛙摇摆头。海鳖接着说：“海的广阔，岂止千里;海的深度，何止千丈。古时候，十个年头里就有九年闹水灾，海水并不因此增多;八个年头里就有七年闹旱灾，海水也不因此而减少。大海不受旱涝影响，住在广阔无垠的大海里才是真正的享受快乐呢!”

青蛙听傻了，鼓着眼睛，半天合不拢嘴。

据此，后人演绎出了两个意思相近的 成语 ：“井底之蛙”和“坐井观天”。

儿童英语小故事2

The wolf and the fox wanted to eat the rabbit, but it wasn't easy to catch him.

One day the wolf said to the fox, "You go home and lie in bed. I'll tell the rabbit that you are dead. When he comes to look at you, you can jump up and catch him." That's a good idea," said the fox.

He went home at once. The wolf went to the rabbit's house and knocked at the door. "Who is it?" asked the rabbit. "It's the wolf. I've come to tell you that the fox is dead." Then the wolf went away.

The rabbit went to the fox's house. He looked in through the window and saw the fox lying in bed with his eyes closed. He thought, "Is the fox really dead or is he pretending to be dead? If he's not dead, he'll catch me when I go near him." so he said, "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 heard this, he thought, "I'll show him that I'm dead." So he opened his mouth.

The rabbit knew that the fox wasn't dead, and he ran as quickly as he could.

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。

儿童英语小故事3

An oak got talking with a reed one day: "you certainly have cause of nature to complain; why even a sparrow's weight for you is quite a strain. At even the slightest breeze that makes the ripples1 play, you quake as if you're touched with blight2; you bend and bow so desolate3, indeed you are a sorry sight."

"Now I, like Caucasus in all his pride and state 'Tis little that the rage of Phoebus I abate4; Laughing at hurricanes; beneath thunder's roar at ease, I stand as strong and straight, as though I bore a shield of peace inviolate5. For you each breath's a storm, for me the storm's a breeze. For you each breath's a storm, for me the storm's a breeze. If only you were growing somewhere close, then in the depths of shade that my broad boughs6 could lend you form stress of weather I could easily defend you.Alas7 that nature for your dwelling8 chose the banks of a Eolus, the stormy realm of air; No doubt, for such as you she found no time to care. 'You are full of charity,' the reed replied with scorn; 'But do not be distressed9! My lot can well be borne! If storms I fear, it is not for my sake."

"Though bend I must I shall not break; Tis little harm they do to me. Methinks, for you yourself more danger there may be Tis true that up till now, beneath the fiercest blast Your sturdy from stands firm and fast; from all its angry blows you face you never hide; but wait and see the end!"

And scarce the reed had thus replied when see, all sudden from the North. The boisterous10 aquilo with hail and rain broke forth11. The oak stood firm; the reed down to the earth must bend. On raged the storm still fiercer than before Till, roaring, from his root it tore, The tree that close to heaven his towering summit flaunted12 and in the realm of shade his sturdy foot had planted.

一天，一棵橡胶树和芦苇交谈。橡树说：“你的确有权抱怨老天，不是吗?即使是一只麻雀，你也会觉得沉重不堪。即使是引起涟漪的微风，你也会颤抖地像遇到灾难，你摇摇摆摆，俯首低头，十分凄凉，看着真让人悲哀心痛。”

“而我却像高加索山脉一样威严自豪……太阳的威严，对我只是小事一桩，狂风大作，我敢嗤之以鼻，雷声咆哮，我仍然安然自在，我矗立得笔直直遒劲，仿佛握着弓不破的和平之盾。对于你，清风拂过就是风暴，对于我，一场风暴只是徐徐和风。只要你生长在我的周围，我宽广的枝叶就可以借给你浓荫，遇到险厄的.天气，我就可以庇护你。可惜老天为你选择的住所是风神的河岸，是狂风暴雨的国土。无疑，像你这样，老天来不及照顾。”

芦苇鄙夷地说：“你真是一片好心，可你不用担心，我的的命令自能安然无恙!即使我害怕风暴，也不是因为我自己，虽然我要俯首弯腰，但是不会折断，暴风雨对我的损害并不大。我认为，你自己的危险倒可能更大，的确，到现在为止，再猛烈的风暴中，你茁壮的身体屹立不动，你也从未躲避过狂风暴雨的正面打击，可是，还是看看最后得结果吧!”

芦苇刚刚这样说完，突然之间，呼啸的北风夹带着冰雹，还有暴雨从北方袭来。橡树屹立不动，而芦苇必须俯倒在地，风雨更加狂暴了，那树尖钻入云霄、炫耀夸口的橡树，那跟深入浓荫下土壤内，茁壮的橡树，最终被呼啸的风连根拔起来了。

儿童英语小故事4

鹦鹉和猫

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.

从前，有人买了一只毛色鲜艳的鹦鹉。他没有把鹦鹉关在笼子里，也没有用链条把他拴在栖木上，而让他在家里自由自在地飞来飞去。鹦鹉对此非常高兴，扑动翅膀，从一间屋子飞到另一间屋子，愉快地尖声叫着，最后停在华丽的帷幔的边上。

"你到底是谁?"从下面传来怒气冲冲的说话声，"马上住嘴，别发出那难听的声音。"

鹦鹉看见地毯上有一只猫抬头看着他。

"我是鹦鹉。 我刚到，我要使劲地吵吵。"他说。 "那你就一声不响吧，"鹦鹉欢快地说，"我不知道你在这儿干什么，可我知道我的活儿。主人为了我的声音才买我，我一定得让他听到。"

不同的人因有不同的特点而受重视。

儿童英语小故事5

男孩和荨麻

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.

有个男孩子在地里玩耍，被荨麻刺痛了。他跑回家去，告诉妈妈出了什么事。

"我不过轻轻地碰了它一下，"他说，"那讨厌的东西就把我刺痛了。"

"你只轻轻地碰了它一下，所以它才刺痛你，"妈妈对他说，"下一回你再碰到荨麻，就尽量紧紧地抓住它。那它就根本不会刺痛你了。"

要敢于面对危险。

儿童英语小故事1

In the field, there was a **all animal called "wu shu"(the flying squirrel1).

It would say to everyone it met: "I have five skills: flying, walking, swimming, climbing trees, and digging holes in the ground."

Thereupon, its pals2 would laugh at it, saying: "Though you have learned these skills, you have mastered none of them. You can fly, but not high; you can swim, but not far; you can climb trees, but not to the treetop; you can dig holes in the ground, but not deep enough."

When the flying squirrel heard what its pals said, it ran away in anger.

Indeed, the flying squirrel had learned five skills, but when put to use, they were useless. How could they be called real skills.

田野里有一种小动物，名叫“鼯鼠”。

它逢友便说：“我有五种本领：会飞，会走，会 游泳 ，会爬树，还会掘土大洞。”

于是，小伙伴们讥笑它说：“你虽然学了这种本领，却一种也没有学好。会飞，却飞得不高;会游泳，却游得不远;会爬树，却爬不到树顶;会掘土打洞，却打得不深。”

鼯鼠听了小伙伴们的话后，气呼呼地跑了。

是啊，鼯鼠是学了五种本领，但是用起来，却一种也不中用，这怎么能说是有真本领呢!

儿童英语小故事2

There was a farmer in the Song Kingdom in ancient China. He worked in his field day after day. In good harvest years, he could only have enough food to eat and enough clothing to wear. If the field failed to produce enough crops, he had to go hungry. This farmer wanted to improve his life. But he was too lazy and too cowardly. He always dreamed of having unexpected fortune.

A miracle took place at last. One day, when he worked in the field, some people were hunting nearby. They shouted loudly one after another. Some little animals were running desperately. Suddenly, a hare dashed itself headlong against the stump of a dead tree in his field and died.

That day, he had a good meal.

From that day on, he no longer worked in his field. From morning till night, he stayed by that miraculous stump, waiting for another hare. Will the miracle happen again?

People often use the set phrase “staying by a stump waiting for more hares to come and dash themselves against it" to refer to persons dreaming to reap without sowing.

在战国时代的宋国，有一个农民，每天都很辛苦地在田地里干活.遇到好年景，也不过刚刚吃饱穿暖;要是遇到灾荒，他就得忍饥挨饿了.他很想能过上好一点的.日子，可是他太懒，胆子又特小，干什么都是又懒又怕的，总是想着能碰到送上门来的意外之财就好了。

奇迹终于发生了。一天，他正在田里干活，一群打猎的人靠近了。吆喝之声四处起伏，受惊的小动物们没命地奔跑。突然， 有一只兔子，不偏不倚，一头撞死在他田边的树根上。

这天，他美美地饱餐了一顿。

从此，他就不再种地了，一天到晚守着那个神奇的树根，等着奇迹再次出现。

人们后来就常用“守株待兔”这个 成语 来形容那些老梦想着不耕种就会有收获的人。

儿童英语小故事3

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 **all ones win, you know."

有一次，公牛躺着打盹，一只老鼠咬了他的尾巴。公牛怒气冲冲地跳起来，低着头追老鼠，一直追过院子。然而，老鼠跑得比他快多了，从容地钻到墙洞里去了。

公牛一次又一次地猛撞墙壁，尽管头撞肿了，角撞裂了，老鼠却安然待在洞里。过了一会儿，公牛不撞了，倒下歇着。

公牛刚睡着，小老鼠就爬到洞口，嗒嗒地跑过院子，又咬了公牛一口 ?? 这回咬了鼻子 ?? 又跑回安全的地方去。当公牛毫无办法地吼叫时，老鼠吱吱叫道：

"大人物并不总占上风。有时小人物也会取胜。"

儿童英语小故事4

A man once had four sons who never stopped quarrelling with one another. He was always telling them how much easier life would be if they worked together but they took absolutely no notice of him. One day he decided to show them what he meant.

He called all the sons together and put a tightly tied bundle of sticks on the floor in front of them.

"Can you break that ? " he asked the youngest son. The boy put his knee on the bundle but though he pressed and pulled with his arms he could not bend the wood. The father asked each son in turn to try to break the bundle, but none of them could do it .

Then he untied the string and scattered the sticks.

" Now try, " he said . The boys broke the sticks easily in their hands.

"Do you see what I mean ?" asked the father. "if only you stand together no one can hurt you . If you all disagree the whole time and insist on going your separate ways, the first enemy you meet will be able to destroy you. "

United we stand ; divided we fall.

从前有一个人，他有四个儿子。儿子们不断地争吵。他一再告诫他们说，如果他们一起干活儿，生活会舒适得多，但他们丝毫不理会他的意见。有一天，他决定通过示范把自己的意思告诉他们。

他把四个儿子都叫来，又把一捆扎得很紧的细树枝放在他们面前的地上。

"你能折断这个吗?"他问最小的儿子。小伙子用膝盖顶住，两只手又压又拉，都不能把那捆树枝弄弯。父亲让别的儿子挨个儿试试，看他们是否能把那捆树枝折断，但谁也做不到。

然后，他解开绳子，把树枝撒开。

"试试吧。"他说。四个小伙子用手轻轻一撅，树枝就断了。

"你们明白我的意思了吗?"父亲问，"只要你们联合起来，谁也不能伤害你们。如果你们老吵架，一定要各行其是，那么你们一遇到敌人，就会被打败。"

合则存，分则败。

The hare ran very fast. The hare said to himself, “ I can much faster than the tortoise, and I may have a little nap here.”So the hare lay down under a tree and was fast asleep. But the tortoise did not stop for a moment. He walked on and on. At last he got to the top of the hill.The hare woke up and looked around, but he could not see the tortoise. He sprang up and ran as fast as he could. When the hare got to the top of the hill, he found the tortoise was resting there peacefully.The tortoise said to the hare, “Now, Mr. Hare! Which was the faster runner, you or I?”

One day a wolf saw a goat on a high cliff. He was jumping to and fro and was grazing. The wolf wanted to eat him, but he could not climb up there to catch him. So he said to the goat, “Good morning, my good friend Goat! Come down here!If you slip down the cliff, you will break your neck. And the grass is short and dry up there. Come down! The grass is long and tender here.”“Thank you, Mr. Wolf, but never mind. I am used to playing here, and I like the grass here better. I would rather eat day grass than be eaten by a wolf,” said the goat.
