少儿英语故事 乌鸦和狐狸
冬天太冷了,万物藏冬,乌鸦好不容易找到一块奶酪,却因为狐狸恭维的语言而失去了……
The winter had been especially cold. The snow lay thick and heavy on the nground. The squirrels, the badgers1 and the hedgehogs had vanished into their nsnug2 winter homes to sleep away the cold, dark months. The swifts and the nswallows had left for warmer countries long ago. Even the slugs and snails3 had ndisappeared, hiding away in some dark, warm patch of woodland to wait for the nspring. The woods and fields were silent and empty. Only a big, black Crow was nhunting for her evening meal.
The Crow had flown all day in search of food. But she had found nothing, nnot even a tiny mouse or a piece of someone’s leftover4 lunch. Now she was tired nand hungry. She cawed sadly.
“I will have to go without dinner tonight,’ she thought as she flapped nslowly across the sky in one last desperate search for something to eat.
She was on the point of turning back when she saw a thin column of smoke ncoming up into the sky, far away in the distance.
“Smoke means fire and fire means cooking and cooking means food!" thought nthe Crow. She flew as fast as she could, towards the curling smoke. The smoke ncame from the chimney of a large farmhouse5 where the farmer's wife was cooking ndinner for her family. A delicious-smelling stew6 was bubbling in a large pot nover the fire and loaves of fresh-baked bread were on the table, ready to be cut ninto slices. A pat of butter and a chunk7 of cheese lay in their platters on the nwindow sill. The farmer’s wife had left the window open so the cold air would nkeep the butter from melting and the cheese from sweating.
The Crow saw the cheese by the open window. Quick as a flash, she flew down nto the window sill, picked cheese in her big black beak8 and flew off. The nfarmer’s wife was stirring the stew, with her back to the window. She did not nsee the Crow. The Crow was very pleased with herself. 'Nothing like a piece of ncheese on a cold winter afternoon!' she thought.
She flew towards a clump9 of tall trees and perched comfortably on a bare nbranch high above the ground to enjoy her meal in comfort.
A wily old Fox lay hidden among the bushes in the farmer’s garden. He had nroamed the woods and fields all day in search of food. But he had found nothing nto eat, not a bird nor a mouse nor even the scraps11 from someone’s picnic. Now nhe was tired and hungry.
“I will have to go without dinner tonight.’ he sighed.
He was on the point of turning back, when he saw the Crow perch10 on the nbare branch with the piece of cheese in her beak.
“What a lovely, smelly piece of cheese!' thought the Fox. I must have that npiece of cheese for my dinner. Now, if only I can take that cheese away from the nCrow…"
The Fox watched the Crow settle herself comfortably on the branch. He nsmiled slyly to himself. Strolling up to the foot of the tree, the Fox called nout.
“Good evening. Mrs. Crow! You look well today!'
The Crow looked down at the Fox in surprise. She had never heard him speak nso politely before.
The Fox continued. 'Oh Mrs. Crow, how beautiful you are! Your feathers are nso black! So smooth and shining! Truly. I have never seen such feathers nbefore!'
The Crow was even more surprised. No one had ever called her beautiful nbefore! Of course, she had always known how pretty she was. But it was pleasant nto be admired by some one else.
The Fox looked up at her and sighed. ‘How graceful12 you are. Mrs. Crow, nhow elegant! You fly so wonderfully well too and higher than an eagle!'
The Crow held herself taller. She had always known how graceful and elegant nshe was. Of course, she could fly most wonderfully high! How clever of the Fox nto know that. She flapped her wings just a little bit so he could admire them nagain. What a charming creature he was!
The Fox took a deep breath and continued. ‘Your claws, ahem, I mean your ntalons13. Mrs. Crow! They are stronger than steel!'
Ah… her talons! She had always been proud of her talons. She hopped14 nclumsily on the branch so that the Fox could take another look at her claws. nReally, he did say the nicest things!
The Crow was by now quite sure that she was the prettiest, most graceful nand the strongest bird of all.
The Fox smiled secretly to himself. He looked admiringly at the Crow and nsaid. 'Dear Mrs. Crow. I have not heard your voice. It must be the sweetest nvoice in the world, as beautiful as you are. Dear Mrs. Crow, won't you sing for nme?'
The Crow was flattered. All the other birds had told her that she had an nawful voice. And here was the Fox begging her to sing for him! Of course, she nhad always known what a lovely voice she had...
The Crow took a deep breath and opened her beak in a loud and raucous15 nCaw!' Down dropped the piece of cheese! The Fox snapped it up as it fell and nswallowed it before the Crow realised what had happened.
The Fox walked off chuckling16. ’Next time, Mrs. Crow, be careful what you nbelieve!' he cried as he vanished through the trees.
The Crow was left feeling foolish. How could she have been so vain and so nsilly, as to be taken in by the Fox's clever words and to lose her lovely ndinner!
The Crow ruffled17 her feathers sadly and got ready for a hungry night.
少儿英语故事 青蛙和公牛的故事
On a lily pad in the little stream that flowed at the bottom of the meadow, nthere lived an old Frog. He was a big frog and he was very proud of his size. nAll the other frogs were in awe1 of him and treated him with the greatest nrespect.
So did all the other creatures. The shining blue dragonflies that hovered2 nover the stream during the day took great care to keep far out of the reach of nhis long sticky tongue. So did the little midges that fluttered by in a soft ncloud in the evenings. Even the fishes in the stream were careful not to annoy nhim. The Frog ruled his watery3 kingdom unchallenged.
The Farmer who owned the meadow by the stream also had an old Ox. The Ox nhad worked hard for the Farmer all his life. He had helped him plough his nfields. Yoked4 to an old wooden cart, he had carried his crops to market and his nchildren to school. But now the Ox was growing old. He no longer had the nstrength to work as hard as he used to.
The Farmer was fond of his old Ox and grateful for all the hard work he had ndone over the years. He did not want to sell him. Instead, he decided5 to let nthe Ox spend his old age in peace, in the meadow by the stream.
One fine morning, the Ox moved into the meadow. He wandered around the nmeadow, surveying his new home. The grass was soft and green and wildflowers ndotted the ground. The Ox was happy. He planned to spend his days grazing on the nsweet juicy grass and basking6 in the sun.
The little creatures of the meadow stared at the Ox in fear and awe. The nbutterflies flew hurriedly out of his way. The hardworking ants and the busy nbees stopped their work as the Ox walked slowly by. They had never seen any ncreature as big as the Ox. Not even the old Frog on the lily pad in the stream nwas quite this big! The Ox munched7 happily on the sweet grass. He did not even nnotice the tiny creatures.
The Frog heard the dragonflies chattering8 excitedly among themselves about nthe huge monster who had come to live in the meadow. The dragonflies had heard nit from the bumblebee who had heard it from the ladybird who had heard it from nthe ants who had almost been trampled9 on by the monster as it stomped10 by.
'It is the largest, biggest, most enormous creature you ever saw!' cried nthe dragonflies. It has huge curving horns on its head and a tail so long and so nstrong that one whisk of it is enough to blow us all away!"
The Frog did not believe a word that the dragonflies said. 'Ha! This nmonster of yours cannot be bigger than I am!’ he cried. ‘And horns and a tail, nbah! They cannot be more fearsome than my long sticky tongue!'
How could any creature be bigger than him? Was he not the largest, most nmagnificent frog in the world? The dragonflies were just being rude!
The Frog stuck out his long sticky tongue and would have caught at least a ndozen of the dragonflies had they not dodged11 in time.
Just then the Ox strolled down to the stream. He was thirsty and wanted a ndrink.
The dragonflies trembled in fear and rose up in a great shining cloud far nabove the reach of the Ox's curving horns and long tail.
The Ox drank his fill and walking away from the stream, settled down for a nnap.
The old Frog on his lily pad saw the Ox and wondered what all the fuss was nabout. The terrible monster was nothing but a silly old Ox! And not a very large none either! When the Ox had walked away, he called out. ‘Hey. dragonflies, was nthis your terrible monster?’
The dragonflies rustled12 their shining wings and replied. ‘Yes, yes. Frog! nDid you see how big he is?’
The Frog laughed scornfully. 'Big? You call that big? Why, I can be twice nas big as that if I want to! Watch!"
And the Frog took a deep breath, huffed and puffed13 and swelled14 up like na balloon.
'There! Am I not as big as him now?' he asked the watching dragonflies, nspeaking with a little difficulty.
'Oh no. Frog, not yet!' cried the dragonflies. 'The monster is MUCH bigger. nLook at him sleeping in the grass! He looks huge!'
‘Well, then. Watch me!' said the Frog. He took a deep breath, huffed and npuffed and swelled up some more. ‘I must be bigger than him now!' he ngasped15.
‘Ah no, Frog.’ Cried the dragonflies.
‘The monster is MUCH bigger!’
The Frog was quite irritated with the dragonflies. His skin was feeling ntight and stretched. It was difficult to sit As he felt he would roll over any nmoment and his cheeks were so puffed that his eyes were almost squeezed shut. He ncould barely see over his huge belly16. He was sure he must be at least as big nas the Ox by now! He decided to make one more attempt. He would show the ndragonflies who was bigger!
“Watch me,' he squeaked17 with great difficulty.
He took as deep a breath as he could manage, huffed and puffed and swelled. nHe blew and he blew and he blew and he grew larger and larger and larger till nsuddenly.
POP!
The Frog had burst!
少儿英语故事 豺狼和战鼓
从前在森林里有只豺狼他太懒了,总是追逐比他小的豺狼吃掉他们的猎物,最终其他豺狼想了一个办法,他好几天都没吃到东西只好去别的地方。他到了一个森林里,被咚咚咚的声音吓坏了,后来鼓起勇气看了看,原来是一个破旧的战鼓。他终于美美的吃了一顿大餐。
Once in a forest there lived a jackal named Gomaya. He was too lazy to hunt nfor his food. He often chased away younger jackals who would catch a prey1 and neat it himself.
All the other jackals were upset with him. They all got together and ndecided2 to get rid of Gomaya. None of them was as big as he, and could not nchallenge him individually. “This is getting beyond control," said one njackal.
“We make all the effort and kill a prey and Gomaya comes and claims nit."
“I have an idea," said another jackal.
“We will take turns catching3 prey. And while one of us has his food, the nothers together will keep Gomaya away. He is no match for all of us."
Things became very difficult for Gomaya after that. He could no longer nsnatch4 food from the other jackals. They all attacked him together and chased nhim away. They would not even allow him to hunt in that part of the forest any nmore.
Gomaya wandered far away into another part of the forest. At last he came nto the farthest part of the forest. By now, he had not eaten for many days. He nwas feeling very weak and tired. “I have to find some food soon or else I will ndie," he thought. As he wandered around, he came to an abandoned battle nfield.
Suddenly, there was a loud and frightening noise. “Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Gomaya was filled with fear and turned and ran away as fast as he could. nAfter running a short distance, Gomaya stopped. He could still hear the sound. nBut it was not coming closer. “I must be brave and find out what is causing that nterrible sound," he decided. Gomaya slowly went back to the battle field. His nheart was full of dread5, but he decided to be brave.
When he got there, Gomaya sighed with relief. The sound was being made by a nharmless old war drum lying beside a tree in the abandoned battle field. Every ntime the wind blew, the lower branches of the tree would brush against the drum nmaking a loud noise.
Gomaya was thrilled to find a lot of food lying near the war drum. He ate nheartily6 till his stomach was full.
What a fool I would have been if I had run away in fear and missed all this ndelicious food," thought the jackal.
少儿英语故事 狮子和兔子
从前在森林里有只狮子很强大,他总是杀死经过身边的动物仅仅是为了取乐。后来动物们商量每天供给狮子一只动物,让他停止残杀。有一天轮到一只聪明的兔子,他看到一口很深的井,想了一个好办法……
Once in a forest there lived a lion who was very proud of his strength. He nwould kill any animal which came in his way just for fun. All the animals in the nforest were worried about their survival.
“If the lion keeps this up, none of us will be left in the forest," said nthe bear.
“He kills much more than he really needs to," squeaked1 the little nhare.
“We have to come up with something to stop this massacre," said the monkey. nSo they all joined together and went to meet the lion.
“O king of the forest, we have come to make a small request," they all said nto the lion.
“Now what would that be?" asked the amused lion.
“You are the king of the forest, but soon there will be no animals to rule nover. So we beg you to stop this unreasonable2 killing3 and we promise that one nof us will come to you everyday for your food," pleaded all the animals with the nlion.
So from that day, the animals drew lots to decide on who was to go to the nlion as his prey4.
One day, the lots fell on the hare to visit the lion. All the animals nconsoled him and sent him on his way to meet his doom5. But the hare was a nclever animal. He did not want to die at the hands of the cruel lion. He saw an nold well on the way. It was very deep and was a danger for all the animals. He nthought of a plan.
The little hare went to sleep near the well all day. In the evening, he nmade his way to the lion's den6. The lion was terribly hungry by then and when nhe saw a tiny hare coming towards him, he became furious.
“You little thing, how dare you come so late? How dare they send such a nsmall animal? I will kill them all," the angry lion roared.
“It is not my fault, O mighty7 lion. There were three other hares with me. nBut on the way here, another lion attacked us. I just managed to escape. The nother three hares were eaten by that lion,"said the hare.
“What? Another lion in my jungle? Take me to him immediately," said the nlion in a fit of rage.
The hare took the lion to the well and pointed8 it out to him from a ndistance. The other lion jumped out at us from inside the well when we tried to ndrink some water from the well. The lion rushed angrily to the well and peeped nin.
There inside the well he could see another lion glaring at him. What the nfoolish lion did not realise in his anger was that he was looking at his nreflection. He roared angrily at the other lion. He heard an answering roar.
It was only the echo of his own roar. But the lion thought that the other nlion was challenging him. He jumped in and landed inside with a loud splash. And nthat was the end of the wicked lion.
The Cat's Elopement
Once upon a time there lived a cat of marvellous beauty, with a skin as nsoft and shining as silk, and wise green eyes, that could see even in the dark. nHis name was Gon, and he belonged to a music teacher, who was so fond and proud nof him that he would not have parted with him for anything in the world.
Now, not far from the music master’s house there dwelled a lady who npossessed a most lovely little pussy cat called Koma. She was such a little dear naltogether, who blinked her eyes so daintily, and ate her supper so tidily – and nwhen she had finished, she licked her pink nose so delicately with her little ntongue, that her mistress was never tired of saying: “Koma, Koma, what should I ndo without you?”
Well, it happened one day that these two, when out for an evening stroll, nmet under a cherry tree, and in one moment fell madly in love with each other. nGon had long felt that it was time for him to find a wife, for all the ladies in nthe neighbourhood paid him so much attention that it made him quite shy. But he nwas not easy to please, and did not care about any of them. Now, before he had ntime to think, Cupid had entangled him in his net, and he was filled with love ntowards Koma. She fully returned his passion, but, like a woman, she saw the ndifficulties in the way, and consulted sadly with Gon as to the means of novercoming them. Gon entreated his master to set matters right by buying Koma, nbut her mistress would not part from her. Then the music master was asked to nsell Gon to the lady, but he declined to listen to any such suggestion, so neverything remained as before.
At length the love of the couple grew to such a pitch that they determined nto please themselves, and to seek their fortunes together. So one moonlit night nthey stole away, and ventured out into an unknown world. All day long they nmarched bravely on through the sunshine, until they had left their homes far nbehind them. Towards evening they found themselves in a large park. The nwanderers by this time were very hot and tired, and the grass looked very soft nand inviting, The trees cast cool deep shadows, when suddenly an ogre appeared nin this paradise, in the shape of a big, big dog! He came springing towards them nshowing all his teeth. Koma shrieked, and rushed up a cherry tree. Gon, however, nstood his ground boldly, and prepared to give battle – for he felt that Koma’s neyes were upon him, and that he must not run away.
Alas! His courage would have availed him nothing had his enemy once touched nhim, for he was large and powerful, and very fierce. From her perch in the tree, nKoma saw it all, and screamed with all her might, hoping that someone would hear nand come to help. Luckily a servant of the princess to whom the park belonged to nwas walking by. He drove off the dog, and picking up the trembling Gon in his narms, carried him to his mistress.
So poor little Koma was left alone, while Gon was borne away, full of ntrouble, and not in the least knowing what to do. Even the attention paid him by nthe princess, who was delighted with his beauty and pretty ways, did not console nhim. There was no use in fighting against fate, and he could only wait and see nwhat would turn up.
The princess, Gon’s new mistress, was so good and kind that everybody loved nher, and she would have led a happy life, had it not been for a serpent who had nfallen in love with her, and was constantly annoying her by his presence. Her nservants had orders to drive him away as often as he appeared, but as they were ncareless, and the serpent very sly, it sometimes happened that he was able to nslip past them, and frightened the princess by appearing before her. One day she nwas seated in her room, playing on her favourite musical instrument, when she nfelt something gliding up her sash, and saw her enemy making his way up to kiss nher cheek. She shrieked and threw herself backwards, and Gon, who had been ncurled up on a stool at her feet, understood her terror – and with one bound, nseized the snake by his neck.
He gave him one bite and one shake, and flung him on the ground, where he nlay, never to worry the princess any more. Then the princess took Gon in her narms, and praised and caressed him. She saw that he had the nicest bits to eat, nand the softest mats to lie on; and he would have had nothing in the world to nwish for if only he could have seen Koma again.
Time passed on, and one morning Gon lay before the house door, basking in nthe sun. He looked lazily at the world stretched out before him, and saw in the ndistance a big ruffian of a cat teasing and ill-treating quite a little one. He njumped up, full of rage, and chased away the big cat, and then he turned to ncomfort the little one, when his heart nearly burst with joy to find that it was nKoma. At first Koma did not know him again, he had grown so large and stately. nBut when it dawned upon her who it was, her happiness knew no bounds. They nrubbed their heads and their noses again and again, while their purring might nhave been heard a mile off.
Paw in paw they appeared before the princess, and told her the story of ntheir life and its sorrows. The princess wept for sympathy, and promised that nthey should never more be parted, but should live with her to the end of their ndays. By-and-by, the princess herself got married, and brought a prince to dwell nin the palace in the park. She told him all about her two cats, and how brave nGon had been, and how he had delivered her from her enemy the serpent. When the nprince heard this, he swore they should never leave them, but should go with the nprincess wherever she went. So it all fell out as the princess wished and Gon nand Koma had many children, and so had the princess. They all played together, nand were friends to the end of their lives.
