英语寓言故事1

　　The Father and His Son Father had a family of sons who were perpetually quarrelling among themselves. When he failed to heal their disputes by his exhortations, he determined to give them a practical illustration of the evils of disunion.

　　and for this purpose he one day told them to bring him a bundle of sticks. When they had done so, he placed the faggot into the hands of each of them in succession, and ordered them to break it in pieces. They each tried with all their strength, and were not able to do it. He next unclosed the faggot, and took the sticks separately, one by one, and again put them into their hands, on which they broke them easily. He then addressed them in these words: "My sons, if you are of one mind, and unite to assist each other, you will be as this faggot, uninjured by all the attempts of your enemies.

　　but if you are divided among yourselves, you will be broken as easily as these sticks."

英语寓言故事2

　　Once upon a time in the vast African savannah, there lived a group of animals who coexisted peacefully. Among them was Leo, a young and adventurous lion. Leo possessed a unique ability: he could fly! This extraordinary power brought him fame, but it also drew envy from others.

　　One fateful day, a vicious leopard named Drake learned of Leo's incredible gift and plotted to steal it for himself. Drake, known for his cunning nature, convinced the other animals that Leo's power was dangerous and needed to be banished. Fearing for his safety, Leo went into hiding.

　　Lost and alone, Leo stumbled upon a wise old tortoise named Oliver, who had heard rumors of Leo's power. Oliver offered his guidance and revealed the ancient legend of the Flying Lions. According to the tale, if Leo could assemble a team of loyal friends, they would unlock unimaginable magic.

　　Determined to reclaim his rightful place among the animals, Leo sought out other outcasts that were shunned like him. He found Eugene, a clumsy elephant with an incredibly sharp memory, and Ariel, a fearless cheetah with lightning-fast speed. Together, they formed an unbreakable bond and embarked on a perilous journey to defeat Drake and restore peace to the savannah.

　　As their adventure unfolded, Leo, Eugene, and Ariel faced numerous challenges and overcame their own fears. Along the way, they discovered that true power comes from within and that friendship is the greatest strength one can possess. With each obstacle they conquered, their bond grew stronger, and hope sparked in the hearts of all the animals.

　　Finally, the day of reckoning arrived. Leo's team confronted Drake, who had grown even more powerful using dark magic. Despite all odds, Leo tapped into his true potential and defeated Drake with the help of Eugene and Ariel. The once-divided animals stood united, rejoicing in the triumph of their newfound hero.

　　With harmony restored, Leo, Eugene, Ariel, and the other animals celebrated their victory. Leo's ability to fly was no longer seen as a curse but rather a symbol of courage and friendship. From that day forward, Leo and his team protected the savannah, watching over it from the skies and inspiring generations to come.

英语寓言故事3

　　Once upon a time, a worker who was very poor found some work as a fisherman's helper. He was paid a few fish a day, and this kept him and his wife alive, though barely（勉强）. One day the worker caught an especially pretty little fish. As he turned it over in his hands, he thought, "Why, what a marvelous（不可思议的） fish this is!" Suddenly the fish spoke to him, in a human voice.

　　"See here, brother man! Just moments ago I was playing with my friends, and I got caught in your net. Now here I am in your hands, suffering and probably dying! My parents and my playmates must be searching for me and worrying terribly about me." Now the fish was gasping.（喘息）

　　"Please have pity on me. Throw me back into the water!"

　　The worker gazed at （凝视）the marvelous talking fish. Could it be true? Was it possible that a fish lives a life filled with joys and sorrows, also?

　　He quickly threw the fish back into the water. "All right, my pretty little fish, go along and play again -- I don't want your parents and friends to worry any more about you!"

　　When the worker's boss, the fisherman, saw this, he became very angry.

　　"You fool!" he shouted angrily to the worker. "I hired you to catch fish, not to throw them back into the water! You're a worthless fool! Begone(走开!滚蛋!) with you -- I don't ever want to see you again!"

　　And the poor worker walked sadly home. "What shall I tell my wife?" he wailed(悲叹), much afraid of what would happen to them without his job.

　　He was walking along the road deep in his unhappy thoughts, when suddenly he saw a Monster (怪物)in human shape coming toward him. The Monster was driving a very fine cow before him.

　　"Good day, brother," said the Monster. "Why do you seem so sad?"

　　The worker told him his story.

　　"See here, my friend," said the Monster. "I'm going to do you a favor. Do you see this cow? I'll let you keep her for three years. She'll give you plenty of good milk every day, and you and your wife will never go hungry. But listen carefully to this condition: When three years have passed, I will come and ask certain questions of you. If you answer them correctly, the cow will be yours. But if you don't, then I'll take both of you along with the cow, and do whatever I want with you. So -- do you accept?"

　　The worker thought, "I suppose it's better to take the cow now than to go hungry. At least we'll be able to sell the milk and live for three years, and then we'll see what happens. Maybe we'll be lucky enough to answer those questions." So he accepted the terms, took the cow and went home relieved(得到安慰的) and happy.

　　Indeed, the cow gave plenty of good milk, enough for the worker and his wife to drink and to sell, and in this way, provide the necessities of life.

　　In the evenings, the worker and his wife would often sit together at their door, thinking about the Monster. They tried to imagine what the answers might be. But as they had no clue(线索) what sort of questions the Monster would ask, they would always end their talks with a sigh(叹息) and go to bed with troubled hearts. Day by day, the end of the three years grew closer and closer.

　　One evening, a handsome youth came up to them.

　　"Good evening!" he said. "I am so tired, and it is getting dark. If you please,英语作文：婚姻保鲜的'秘密是什么？, may I spend the night under your roof?"

　　"Of course you may, only tonight you must know that something terrible is going to happen to us! Three years ago, we took a cow from a Monster. He told us we could keep the cow for three years, but at the end of that time he could come and ask us some questions. If we answer those questions correctly, then the cow will be ours to keep, but if we can't then we will become the Monster's prisoners forever. So if you stay with us tonight, be careful that no harm comes to you!"

　　"I see," said the youth. "Well, if it is all right with you,城市生活的利与弊(The pros and cons of city life), I'd just as soon stay the night." And so he did.

　　Exactly at midnight, a loud knock was heard at the door.

　　"Who's there?"

　　"It is I, the Monster! Three years have passed. The time has come to answer my questions!"

　　"We'll never be able to answer them!" wailed the poor worker and his wife, clutching(紧握) at each other's shoulders.

　　Suddenly, the youth stepped toward the door. He said to them, "Don't worry, I'll answer for you."

　　"I'm here, waiting!" growled the Monster outside.

　　"And I'm here also," calmly answered the youth behind the door.

　　"Very well, then," said the monster. "Where are you from?"

　　"I'm from the other side of the sea."

　　"How did you get here?"

　　"Riding a lame flea(跳蚤)!"

　　"Then the sea must have been very small?"

　　"Not at all. Even an eagle couldn't fly across it!"

　　"Then that eagle must have been a fledgling(刚学飞的幼鸟)?"

　　"Not at all. The shadow of his wings would cover a whole city!"

　　"Then the city must have been very small?"

　　"Not at all. A hare couldn't run from one end of it to the other."

　　The Monster was speechless. It didn't know what other questions to ask. He stood there silently at the door for some time, then disappeared into the darkness.

　　The poor worker and his wife were overjoyed. They and the youth celebrated(庆祝) until dawn.

　　When dawn was breaking, the youth said it was time for him to take his leave.

　　"Oh, no, we can't allow you to go!" cried the couple. "You saved our lives. Tell us what we can do to thank you." "You don't have to thank me," replied the youth. "I must be on my way." "At least tell us who you are!" begged the worker.

　　"If you must know," said the youth, "A kindness is never lost, even if you throw it into the water. I am that little talking fish that you threw back into the sea!"

　　Having said these words, he disappeared.

　　寓言故事英语小短文3:The old man who did no wrong

　　In the countryside, there is a cottage with a thatched roof. There is a shock's nest on the eaves. The wall slopes and there are flowers in the window. They have a pot-bellied stove. In this cottage live an old couple -- a peasant and his wife. Even though they are poor, they are not attached to their few possessions. They have a horse.

　　One day, the old woman says: "Husband, today is the market day. You ride the horse, sell it or exchange it for something else…you will never do anything wrong." The sun is blazing hot. There are no clouds in the sky. The road is dusty. What's more, there is no where to shelter. Just then, a man approaches with a cow.

　　The cow is healthy and better than others. "It is sure to make the best milk!" the peasant thinks. "It would be a good buy for me to exchange the cow for the horse…" "Hello, friend." he says. "I think that the hose is worth more than the cow, but I don't mind. The cow is more useful to me. Will you trade with me?" "Certainly, I will." The man who is leading the cow says. So they trade. The peasant could have gone home because he had done what he wanted to do. But since he was on his way to the market, he resolves to go and have a look. Therefore, he continues up the road with the cow. In no time, he catches up with a man who is leading a sheep which is nice and fat with good wool. "

　　I want this very much, the peasant thinks in his heart, it can eat the grass beside the ditch. In winter, it can stay with me in the house. Maybe a sheep is better than a cowl.

　　Then the peasant trades the sheep for the cow. After this, he leads the sheep onward. On the road, he see a man with a big goose under his arm near a fence. " The peasant says: "You have such a big goose! It's feathers are thick and it is fat. If I tie it and put it in the little pond, it is good. My wife can feed it, fruit peels and cabbages. She has often said ‘I want to have a goose. Now she may realize her dream.'" The man agrees. So they trade.

　　The peasant now owns a goose. He walks into the town. There so many people on the road. The people and the animals are like rabbits in a warren. The peasant comes to a ditch next to the fence of the taxman's potato field. A hen is tied in the field. Seeing this, the peasant thinks: "

　　This hen is the best one which I have seen. It is better than the priest's hen. On my! I want this one. A hen can find grain and fend for itself. It will be a good buy if I trade the hen with the goose."

　　"May we trade?" he says. "Trade?" The man says. "Oh, that's not bad." So they trade. The taxman gets the goose and the peasant owns the hen. He has done a lot of business on the way to the market. It is hot and he feels tired. He wants to eat and drink something. He walks toward a tavern. As he is going in, a seller is coming out. They meet at the gate. "What do you have in the sack?" The peasant asks. "

　　Mashed apples" the seller says. "a bag of apples to feed pigs" The peasant say: "There are so many. I wish my wife could see this. Last year, our apple tree just produced three apples. We stored them in the cupboard until it split out. It is a fortune. My wife said. Now, she may see quite a fortune.

　　Yes, I wish she could see this." "How much?" the seller asks. "How much? I want trade it with the hen. " So he gets a bag of mashed apples.

　　When he goes into the tavern to the bar, he put the apples near the stove. He does not realize that the fire is burning. There are so many people in the room, including the horseman, the dealer and two Englishmen who are very rich.

　　There is a sound: the fire is toasting the apples. "What are those?" Soon they know that the peasant traded the cow with a horse and continued to trade until he got a bag of mashed apples. "

　　Ah, when you go home, I am sure that your wife will hit you", the two Englishmen say, "She will quarrel with you." "She will give me a kiss and she will not hit me." the peasant says, "

　　my wife will say my husband is always correct." They say: "we can bet one hundred and eleven pounds!" The peasant says: "I can juts bet a bag of mashed apples.

　　What's more, I may add my wife and myself to the bet. I think that makes it fair." "Good, very good!" they say. So the bet is made. The master drives out his cart. The two Englishmen and the peasant with mashed apples get on it. After a while, they reached the peasants' house.

　　"Good evening, wife!"

　　"Good evening, husband!"

　　"I have traded."

　　"You know what you have done." the old woman says so she hugs him. So they forget all the guests and the apples.

　　"I traded a cow for the horse."

　　"Thank goodness, we have milk." the old woman says. "We have milk and cheese. That was a good deal."

　　"Yes, but I traded a sheep for the cow."

　　"Ah, that is better!" the old woman says, "That was considerate of you. We have enough grass to raise the sheep. Now I have white cheese and woolen socks. Yes, we have woolen night clothes. A cow will not produce so many things. Its hair will fall out. It is considerate of to do that."

　　"But I traded a goose for it!"

　　"My dear, we will have goose on St. Martin's festival. You always make me happy. It is a good idea. We may raise the goose which will be fat before the St. Martin's festival. "

　　"But I traded a hen for it." Her husband says.

　　"A hen?"

　　"That was a great deal!" the old woman says. "The hen will lay eggs which will hatch into chicks. We just need a broodof chicks."

　　"But I traded a bag of mashed apples for it."

　　"Now I can not help kissing you." the old woman says, "Thank you, my good husband! Now I will tell you something. As you know, after you left, I planned to cook for you. I remember that pancakes are your favorite food. But I have no caraway seed. So I borrow some from the school teacher. I knew that they had some. But the teacher's wife is so mean. I asked her to lend some to me. ‘Borrow?' she says to me. ‘We planted nothing in the vegetable garden besides a mashed apple. We can't lend you because I don't have any apples.' Now I can lend her ten mashed apples or a bag of mashed apples. Husband, this is so funny!" She kissed him after saying this.

　　"This is wonderful!" the two Englishmen say together, "Always he is always meetingmisfortune, he is happy. That is good fortune." Then they pay the peasant 111 pounds because he does not get hit but gets a kiss.

　　Yes, if an old woman thinks her husband is the cleverest man in the world and says what he does is right, she will gain!

英语寓言故事10

　　An old woman heard that the young lady living next door had lost her earrings2, and went to comfort her.

So costly a thing is lost, don't you regret it?" to which she replied, "Ears are valuable, not because they are adorned5 with earrings but because they have the ability to hear. To ears, it does not add or decrease anything, whether earring exists or not."

　　一位老太太听说邻居的少妇丢了耳环,便去安慰她。

　　少妇不以为然地说:“耳环丢了不算什么,只要耳朵还在就没什么可以遗憾的。”

　　老太太疑惑地问:“你的耳环不是玉石做的吗?那东西很值钱的呀。这么值钱的东西丢了,你不感到可惜吗?”少妇回答说:“耳朵之所以宝贵,是因为它能听声音,而不是因为佩戴了值钱的`耳环。耳环的存亡对于耳朵来说,并没有增加或者减少什么。”

　　然后他解开那捆柴，一根根地放在他们手里，如此一来，他们便毫不费力地折断了。于是他就告诉他们说：「孩子们！如果你们大家团结一致，互相帮助，你们就像这捆柴一样，不能被你们的敌人折断；但如果你们自行，你们就将和这些散柴一般，不堪一折了。」

　　四.寓言故事：人与赛特 A Man and a Satyr having struck up an acquaintance, sat down together to eat. The day being wintry and cold, the Man put his fingers to his mouse and blew opon them. "What's that for, my friend?" asked the Satyr. " My hands are so cold," said the Man, "I do it to warm them." In a little while some hot food was placed before them, and the Man, raising the dish to his mouse, again blew opon it. "And what's the meaning of that, now?" said the Satyr. "Oh," replied the Man, "my porridge is so hot, I do it to cool it." "Nay, then," said the Satyr, "from this moment I renounce your friendship, for I will have nothing to do with one who blows hot and cold with the same mouse."

　　一个人与赛特偶然相识，坐在一起吃东西。正值冬季，天气很冷，那人把手放在嘴边哈气。赛特问道“我的.朋友，那是干吗？”这人说“我的手太冷了，这是为了取暖”。过了一会儿，热腾腾的食物端上来了，那人把碟子举到嘴边又吹了起来，赛特问“这又是干吗？”，那人说“哦，我的粥太烫了，我把他吹凉些”。赛特说“从现在起，我要与你绝交，因为我不想和一个反复无常的人做朋友”。

　　五.寓言故事：狼和小羊 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，对小羊证明自己有吃它的权利。它就说：「小鬼！你去年曾经骂过我。」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，因为直到今天为止，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。

英语寓言故事15

　　Once, the King of the State of Wu wanted to invade the State of Chu.

　　The King of Wu warned his ministers: "If anyone should dare to dissuade1 me from invading Chu again, I will put him to death."

　　One young hanger-on of his wanted to dissuade him but didn't dare. He carried a slingshot, and for three consecutive2 days paced up and down in the King's back garden. The dew wetted his clothes all through.

　　One day, the King of Wu called him: "The dew has wetted your clothes to such a state. Why should you bear such hardship?"

　　The young man replied: "There is a cicada on a tree in this garden. The cicada is high above, chirping3 leisurely4 and taking in the dew freely, not knowing that a mantis5 is right behind it. The mantis, pressing its body close in a concealed6 place, is intent on catching7 the cicada, not knowing that a siskin is hiding right behind it. The siskin is stretching out its neck to peck at the mantis, not knowing that a man carrying a slingshot is under it. These three small creatures make every effort only to get the benefit before them but ignore entirely8 the disaster behind."

　　Having heard the young man's words, the King of Wu suddenly saw the light and said: "What you said is right!"

　　Consequently, the King of Wu dropped his plan to invade the State of Chu.

　　一次，吴王要进攻楚国。

　　吴王警告他的大臣们说：“有谁再敢来劝阻我进攻楚国，我就处死他。”

　　吴王的门客中有一个年青人，想去劝阻但又不敢。他怀里揣着弹弓，一连三个早晨在吴工的.后花园里徘徊，露水湿透了他的衣服。

　　一天，吴王叫住他：“露水把你的衣服湿成这个样子，你何必吃这个苦呢?”

　　年青人回答说：“这个园子里，有一棵树，树上有一只蝉。蝉高高在上，悠闲地叫着，自由自在地吸着露水，却不知道有一只蝗螂在它身后呢!蝗螂把身子紧紧地贴在隐蔽的地方，只想去捕蝉，却不知道有一只黄雀早已躲在它的身后呢!黄雀正伸长了脖子想去啄蝗螂，却不知道在它下面正有人拿着弹弓呢!这三只小生物，只是力求得到它们眼前的利益，却全不管它们身后隐伏着祸患啊!”

　　吴王听了年青人的话后，恍然大悟说：“你说得好啊!”

　　于是，吴王就不再进攻楚国了。
