城市老鼠和乡下老鼠

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：?你一定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己的家里。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？你应该到我城里的家看看。?

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！?他们飞快地跑开躲进一个黑洞里。

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。因为这样虽然贫穷但是快乐自在，比起虽然富有却要过着提心吊胆的生活来说，要好些。?

猫与鼠

从前,在一个大房子里,有许多老鼠。他们很坏,他们日夜窃取食物。房子的大师准备带来猫杀害他们。

几天后,一只猫来了.他是一个真正强大的猫,它强大的"喵",可以吓死老鼠.

小鼠变得十分烦躁.一个漆黑的夜里,他们举行了会议,"我们必须与猫对抗."有人建议:"不,不,不,"其他老鼠都反对"猫是如此强大而强大,怎样才能赢?

突然一只年长的老鼠有了一个想法:"为什么不与他交朋友?"

"我们应该怎样做?"

"所有的猫都喜欢鱼.我们每天给他一条大鱼,然后一切将安然无恙"。

其余的老鼠都赞同它的想法。

第二天清晨,当猫还在睡觉时,年长的老鼠走到他跟前说"嘿,早上好,猫先生",当那只猫想要捉老鼠时他看到了那条鱼,老鼠把鱼扔在猫眼前跑掉了.

"我只吃这一次.下次我不会了.猫自言自语的说。

又一天来了,猫睁开眼睛,发现另一条鱼,又大又肥.

"我知道，我不应该吃,那是错误的.,但是这条鱼又大又肥,一定非常可口,我只尝一点.下次我不会碰它"

?是不是非常美味可口？"老鼠问

猫的脸变红了?不要紧张,慢慢品尝",然后老鼠消失了。

从那以后,猫的早餐里总是有一条鱼，而老鼠还在偷东西.

"看来我需要另一只猫了"一天主人自言自语的说

"我们应该怎么办"?老鼠问年长的老鼠.

"很简单"年长的老鼠说?每天偷两条鱼。"

英语演讲励志小故事

英语演讲励志小故事 The hidden gold 隐藏的金子 There was once a farmer who had a fine olive（橄榄树） orchard （果园） . He was very hardworking, and the farm always prospered under his care. But he knew that his three sons despised（轻视，看不起） the farm work, and were eager to make wealth, trough adventure. 从前有一个农民，他有一座漂亮的橄榄园。他非常勤劳，而且农场在他的照管下蒸蒸日上。可他知道自己的三个儿子瞧不起农活，都迫不及待的想通过冒险发家致富。 When the farmer was old, and felt that his time had e to die, he called the three sons to him and said, "My sons, there is a pot of gold hidden in the olive orchard. Dig for it, if you wish it." 这个农民上了年岁，感到死期快要来临时，将三个儿子叫到身边说：“儿子们，橄榄园里藏有一罐金子。你们想要，就去挖吧。”

The sons tried to get him to tell them in what part of the orchard the gold was hidden; but he would tell them nothing more. 儿子们想让父亲告诉他们金子藏在果园的那一块地方，可他什么也没再给他们说。 After the farmer was dead, the sons went to work to find the pot of gold; since they did not know where the hiding-place was, they agreed to begin in a line, at one end of the orchard, and to dig until one of them should find the money. They dug until they had turned up the soil from one end of the orchard to the other, round the tree-roots and between them. But no pot of gold was to be found. It seemed as if someone must have stolen it, or as if the farmer had been wandering（漫游，闲逛） in his wits. The three sons were bitterly disappointed to have all their work for nothing. 那个农民死后，三个儿子就开始挖地，想找到那罐金子；因为他们不知道金子藏在什么地方，所以他们一致同意排成一行从果园的一头开始挖起，知道其中一人挖到金子为止.The next olive season, the olive trees in the orchard bore more fruit than they had

英文小故事 I Didn’t Know I Have Been So Rich! There was a young man who was unhappy everyday. He always complained about his poverty and unluckiness. 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. Since you have already owned as much as ten million, why are you always complaining about being so poor and unlucky?” Hearing this, the young man was shocked and speechless. He finally understood what the old man meant. 原来我也这么富有 有一位青年，老是埋怨自己时运不济，发不了财，终日愁眉不展。他的一位须发皆白的老邻居见状，便问：“年青人，为什么不快乐？” 年青人：“我不明白，为什么我总是这么穷？” 老人由衷地说：“你穷吗？你很富有嘛。” 年青人不解地问：“这从何说起？” 老人反问道：“假如现在砍掉你一个手指，给你一千元，你干不干？” 年青人：“不干。”

He wanted to eat his own hay. Then the dog awoke, stood up and barked at the ox. The ox said to the dog, “Do you want to eat this hay, too?” “Of course not,” said the dog. “Then, go away and let me eat my own hay.” “Oh, no. You go away and let me sleep.” “What a selfish dog! He will neither eat the hay himself, nor let me eat it !” said the ox to himself. 2.The Lion, The Bear And The Fox（獅子、熊與狐狸） Long ago a lion and a bear saw a kid. They sprang upon it at the same time.

个简短英语小故事

1、T h e T h i r s t y P i g e o n 口渴的鸽子 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。

英文励志 小故事

A young man asked Socrates the secret to success. Socrates told the young man to meet him near the river the next morning. They met. Socrates asked the young man to walk with him toward the river. When the water got up to their neck, Socrates took the young man by surprise and ducked(vt. 将……猛按入水) him into the water. The boy struggled to get out but Socrates was strong and kept him there until the boy started turning blue. Socrates pulled his head out of the water and the first thing the young man did was to gasp(vi.喘息) and take a deep breath of air. Socrates asked, “What did you want the most when you were there?” The boy replied, “Air.”Socrates said, “That is the secret to success. When you want success as badly as you wanted the air, then you will get it.There is no other secret.” 一个年轻人向苏格拉底询问成功的秘诀，苏格拉底让年轻人第二天早晨到河边见他。他们见面后，苏格拉底叫年轻人和他一起走向河里，当河水淹至他们的脖子时，苏格拉底出其不意地抓住年轻人并把其压入水中，那人想要挣出水面，而强壮有力的苏格拉底将他摁在水中直到他变得无力抗争，脸色发青。苏格拉底将他的头拖出水面，这个年轻人所做的第一件事就是大口喘息后，深吸一口气。苏格拉底问：“当你闷在水里的时候你最想要的是什么？”年轻人回答说：“空气。”苏格拉底说：“那就是成功的秘诀。当你像渴望空气一样渴望成功， 你就能够获得它！没有其他的秘密了。”
