少兒英語(yǔ)寓言故事:狼與小羊
1.【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.

2.【The Lion and the Mouse 獅子與報(bào)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,，有只老鼠跳到了他身上。獅子猛然站起來(lái),，把他抓住,，準(zhǔn)備吃掉。老鼠請(qǐng)求饒命,，并說(shuō)如果保住性命,，必將報(bào)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(lái)獅子被一個(gè) 獵人抓獲,，并用繩索把他捆在一棵樹(shù)上。老鼠聽(tīng)到了他 的哀嚎,，走過(guò)去咬斷繩索,，放走了獅子，并說(shuō): “你當(dāng)時(shí)嘲笑我,，不相信能得到我的報(bào)答,， 現(xiàn)在可清楚了，老鼠也能報(bào)恩,?！?這故事說(shuō)明，時(shí)運(yùn)交替變更,，強(qiáng)者也會(huì)有需要弱者的時(shí)候.
