The frogs and the well

Two frogs lived together in a marsh. One hot summer the marsh dried up, so they had to leave it and look for another place.

They soon found a deep well.

One of them looked down and said to the other, _This is a nice cool place. Let's jump in and settle down here._

The other frog was much wiser. He replied, _Don’t be so fast, my friend. If this well dries up like the marsh, how should we get out again?_

An old man was gathering sticks in a forest.

At last he grew very tired and hopeless. He threw down all the sticks and cried out, _I cannot bear this life any longer.

I heard you call me._ _Please, sir,_ replied the old man, _would you help me lift this bundle of sticks up to my shoulder?_

Mice and bull

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 small ones win, you know._

英语口语小故事 第5篇

A man was going to the house of some rich person. As he went along the road, he saw a box of good apples at the side of the road. He said, _I do not want to eat those apples; for the rich man will give me much food; he will give me very nice food to eat._ Then he took the apples and threw them away into the dust.

He went on and came to a river. The river had become very big; so he could not go over it. He waited for some time; then he said, _I cannot go to the rich man's house today, for I cannot get over the river._

He began to go home. He had eaten no food that day. He began to want food. He came to the apples, and he was glad to take them out of the dust and eat them.

Moral：Do not throw good things away; you may be glad to have them at some other time.

一个男人要去一个富人的房子。当他沿着路走时，他看见路边有一箱好苹果。他说:“我不想吃那些苹果;因为那富足人必给我许多食物。他会给我很好的食物吃。”然后他拿起苹果，把它们扔到尘土里。

他继续往前走，来到一条河边。河水变得很大;所以他不能把它翻过来。他等了一会儿;然后他说:“我今天不能去富人家了，因为我过不了河。”

他开始回家。那天他没有吃东西。他开始想吃东西了。他来到苹果旁，高兴地把它们从尘土中拣出来吃。寓意：不要把好东西扔掉，换个时候你会觉得它们大有用处。

During the Eastern Han Dynasty (25-220AD)， there was a man called Yue Yangzi. Encouraged by his wife, he left home to visit scholars and enrich his knowledge.

A year later, he came back home suddenly.

“Why have you returned?” asked his wife in surprise, “You've only spent one year studying with scholars.”

“I come back because I missed you very much,” Yue Yangzi replied.

Without saying anything, his wife took a pair of scissors and went to the loom at which she had worked. Pointing at the half-done brocade, she proclaimed, “This brocade is woven from the finest silk. I wove one strand after another to produce the brocade. Now if I cut it, all my previous work will be wasted. It's the same with your studies. Now, you've stopped halfway. Isn't it the same as cutting the brocade on the loom?”

Deeply moved by what she said, Yue Yangzi again left home to continue his studies.

Several years later, he finished his studies and became a learned man.
