動物英語童話故事 2
Long ago in a small,faraway village,there was a place known as the House of 1000 Mirrors. A small,happy little dog learned of this place and decided to visit. When he arrived,he hounced happily up the stairs to the doorway of the house. He looked through the doorway with his ears lifted high and his tail wagging as fast as it could. To his great surprise,he found himself staring at 1000 other happy little dogs with their tails wagging just as fast as his.
He smiled a great smile,and was answered with 1000 great smiles just as warm and firendly. As he left the House,he thought to himself,This is a wonderful place. I will e back and visit it often.
In this same village,another little dog,who was not quite as happy as the first one,decided to visit the house. He slowly climbed the stairs and hung his head low as he looked into the door. When he saw the 1000 unfriendly looking dogs staring back at him,he growled at them and was horrified to see 1000 little dogs growling back at him. As he left,he thought to himself,That is a horrible place,and I will never go back there again.
All the faces in the world are mirrors. What kind of reflections do you see in Oh,Mr. Fox,shouted the cat. You and your hundred tricks are left in the lurch. If you been able to climb like I can,you would not have lost your life.

動物英語童話故事 6
Far out in the sea the water is very, very blue. You can see through it like glass. Far down in the water there are beautiful trees and plants. These trees and plants are so far from the top of the water that no one can see them. Fishes go in and out of the trees just like birds. This is the place where the Sea King’s city is.
The Sea King’s wife died many years before, so his old mother looked after him. She loved the Sea King’s six children very much, and they loved their grandmother, too. These six children were beautiful princesses. The youngest princess was the most beautiful: her eyes were as blue as the sea and her body was white like a rose. But, like all her sisters, she had no feet. The top of her body was like a girl’s body; and the rest of her body was like the body of a fish.
The six princesses often played all day in the big rooms inside the Sea King’s house. Beautiful flowers GREw out of the walls on all sides of them. When the windows were opened, fishes would go into the rooms just like birds come into our rooms. But the fishes were braver than birds They went up to the little princesses to eat food from their hands.
In front of the Sea King’s house there was a large garden full of red plants and blue plants. The flowers of these plants were like the burning sun. There was a blue light over the garden; you would think that you were up in the sky — not down in the sea.
Each of the little princesses had her own little garden inside the large
garden. They could plant the flowers, which they themselves liked the most. The youngest princess planted red flowers in the garden, and she planted a red tree near the flowers. She was not at all like her sisters.
在海洋的遠(yuǎn)處，水很藍(lán)很藍(lán)，你能象隔著玻璃一樣，看透它。水底深處有美麗的樹木和植物。這些樹木和植物離水面很遠(yuǎn)，誰也看不到它們。魚兒在樹木間游來游去，就象鳥兒在天空飛翔一樣。海王的城市就在這個地方。
海王的的妻子死了很多年了，他的老母親照顧他。她非常喜愛海王的六個孩子。她們也愛她們的祖母。這六個小孩都是美麗的公主。最小的公主最美麗，她的眼睛象海一樣藍(lán)，她的身體像玫瑰一樣白。不過，她和姐姐們一樣，沒有腿。她的上半截象一個姑娘的身體，下半截卻象一條魚的身體。
六個公主常常整天在海王王宮的大廳里游玩。這些大廳墻壁周圍長滿了鮮花。窗戶開著的時候，魚兒會游入室內(nèi)，就象鳥兒會飛進(jìn)我們的房間一樣。不過魚兒比鳥兒勇敢，它們游到小公主跟前，吃她們手里的食物。
在海王宮殿前面有一個很大的`花園，里面長滿了紅色的和藍(lán)色的植物。這些植物上的花朵象燃燒著的太陽。花園中閃耀著藍(lán)色的光芒，你會以為這是在空中，而不是在海底。在這個大花園里，每位小公主都有一個自己的小花園，她們可以栽種自己最喜歡的花卉。最年幼的公主在她的花園里種上紅色，靠近這些花，又種了一棵紅樹。她一點(diǎn)兒也不象她的姐姐們。

The City Mouse and the Country Mouse
Once there were two mice. They were friends. One mouse lived in the country; the other mouse lived in the city. After many years the Country mouse saw the City mouse; he said, "Do come and see me at my house in the country." So the City mouse went. The City mouse said, "This food is not good, and your house is not good. Why do you live in a hole in the field? You should come and live in the city. You would live in a nice house made of stone. You would have nice food to eat. You must come and see me at my house in the city."
The Country mouse went to the house of the City mouse. It was a very good house. Nice food was set ready for them to eat. But just as they began to eat they heard a great noise. The City mouse cried, " Run! Run! The cat is coming!" They ran away quickly and hid.
After some time they came out. When they came out, the Country mouse said, "I do not like living in the city. I like living in my hole in the field. For it is nicer to be poor and happy, than to be rich and afraid."

One day a rooster was catching insects on the grass. A hungry fox came out to forage for food, found the cock, and was hungry, and began to think of how to seize it without effort. The fox looked around and saw that there was a hard stick on the grass. Suddenly the eye was bright and came up with a good idea: to beat the cock with a wooden stick. So he picked up the stick and crept toward the cock.
Suddenly, the fox did not notice to kick a stone, and the stone fell near the rooster. The cock found the fox and trembled with fear. For a moment it tried to calm itself down, to understand that the fox was running, and thought hard, suddenly, a good idea came up. It put on a very painful appearance and said to the fox, "brother fox, do you want to eat me? But I have a nasty infection and will die soon. If you eat me, you will die soon." The fox thinks: the stomach is small, the life is more important. He dropped his stick and ran away. At that moment, the cock showed his winning smile and shouted, "brother fox, why dont you eat me?" The fox ignored it and ran away faster.
So the cock scared the fox away with his wisdom. This story illustrates that when encountering difficulties, you cant flinch, you have to rack your brain to come up with all possible solutions, overcome difficulties, and win the final victory.

"The thing which I liked to do the most was to look at a large city, " she said. "The city was near the sea and there were many lights. I heard people singing and men speaking. I saw big houses and I heard bells ringing. And I wanted to go into the city."
The youngest princess wanted to hear about everything again. The next night when she stood by the open window and looked up through the sea, she thought she could hear the bells ringing.
The next year another sister became fifteen and went to the top of the sea.
She went there just as the sun was going down in the sky at night.
"This was more beautiful than any other thing I ever saw, " she told her sisters when she came back. "The sky was golden, and I cannot tell you how beautiful it was."
It was soon time for another sister to go to the top of the sea. She was the bravest of the six, and she went up a river. She saw hills with woods and houses and she heard the birds singing. Many children were jumping in the water. Then a little dog ran after her. She became afraid and went back to the sea.
"Nothing can be more beautiful, " she said when she came back home. "I have seen ships on the water: they were so far away that they looked like white birds."
動物英語童話故事 10
We shall be much obliged to you, said the impostors, and then they named the different colors and described the pattern of the pretended stuff. The old minister listened attentively to their words, in order that he might repeat them to the Emperor; and then the knaves asked for more silk and gold, saying that it was necessary to complete what they had begun.
However, they put all that was given them into their knapsacks; and continued to work with as much apparent diligence as before at their empty looms.
The Emperor now sent another officer of his court to see how the men were getting on, and to ascertain whether the cloth would soon be ready. It was just the same with this gentleman as with the minister; he surveyed the looms on all sides, but could see nothing at all but the empty frames.
動物英語童話故事 11
Many years ago, there was an Emperor, who was so excessively fond of new clothes, that he spent all his money in dress. He did not trouble himself in the least about his soldiers; nor did he care to go either to the theatre or the chase, except for the opportunities then afforded him for displaying his new clothes.
He had a different suit for each hour of the day; and as of any other king or emperor, one is accustomed to say, "he is sitting in council,"it was always said of him, "The Emperor is sitting in his wardrobe."
Time passed merrily in the large town which was his capital; strangers arrived every day at the court. One day, two rogues, calling themselves weavers, made their appearance. They gave out that they knew how to weave stuffs of the most beautiful colors and elaborate patterns, the clothes manufactured from which should have the wonderful property of remaining invisible to everyone who was unfit for the office he held, or who was extraordinarily simple in character.
動物英語童話故事 12
Once, a fox and a hare became friends with the purpose of defending themselves against their joint1 enemy, the hunters, and made an oath to each other: to the same life and death, through thick and thin. One day, they were enjoying the natural beauty together in the fields when a party of hunters came and shot the hare dead. The fox had a narrow escape. After the hunters had gone, the fox came and wept over the death of his mate.
An elderly gentleman who happened to pass by was surprised at the scene. Curiously2, he asked the fox the reason of her bitter weeping.
The fox sorrowfully replied: "We are small animals. Being the prey3 of hunters, we had planned to defend ourselves against our joint enemy, the hunters, and promised to share life and death through thick and thin. Now our enemy has killed my companion. His death may mean the death of me tomorrow. We are real friends and real friends must share everything. How could I not help weeping!"
"Oh, I see. You have good reasons to weep over the death of such a partner," exclaimed the elderly gentleman.
The idiom, "The fox is sad at the death of the hare," comes from the story above, illustrating4 how one feels sad for the death or misfortunes of his companions.
從前，一只兔子和一只狐貍為對付共同的敵人——獵人，彼此聯(lián)盟發(fā)誓：要同生死，共患難。一天，他們正在田野里享受大自然的美景，不料一群獵人突然前來，一箭就射死了兔子，狐貍也險(xiǎn)遭不測。獵人走后，狐貍就跑到兔子身旁，哀泣悲悼。
有個長者經(jīng)過，看見狐貍在兔子旁邊哭泣，覺得奇怪，就問狐貍哭泣的原因。
狐貍悲哀地說：“我和兔子同樣是微小的動物，是獵人捕獵的對象。我們相約共同對敵，共生死，同患難。現(xiàn)在我的同盟被獵人射死，他今日的死亡，意味著我明天的`死亡。我們是真正的朋友，我哪能不傷心哭泣呢！”
成語“兔死狐悲”就源自這個故事，表示因同類的死亡或不幸而感到悲傷。
動物英語童話故事 13
A Fox once saw a Crow fly off with a piece of cheese in its beak and settle on a branch of a tree. ‘That’s for me, as I am a Fox,’ said Master Reynard, and he walked up to the foot of the tree. ‘Good-day, Mistress Crow,’ he cried.
‘How well you are looking to-day: how glossy your feathers; how bright your eye. I feel sure your voice must surpass that of other birds, just as your figure does; let me hear but one song from you that I may greet you as the Queen of Birds.’ The Crow lifted up her head and began to caw her best, but the moment she opened her mouth the piece of cheese fell to the ground, only to be snapped up by Master Fox. ‘That will do,’ said he. ‘That was all I wanted. In exchange for your cheese I will give you a piece of advice for the future .’Do not trust flatterers.
動物英語童話故事 14
The little princess loved to hear about people who were not the same as she was. These people have feet and did not live in the sea: they lived on land. She made her grandmother tell her everything she knew about ships, cities, and men. She was very pleased when she heard that the flowers on land had a lovely smell: the flowers in the sea had no smell at all. She was very pleased, too, when she heard that the small fishes in the sky could sing. The old lady was speaking about birds, but she called
them fishes because the little princesses did not know about birds. "When you are fifteen years old, you can go to the top of the sea, " their grandmother said. "You will then sit at night and see the ships go by. And you will know about cities and men. "
The next year the oldest of the sisters would be fifteen. She was very happy, but the other sisters were unhappy. They could not go to the top of the sea. The oldest sister said that she would tell them about everything that she saw.
But none of the sisters wanted to go so much as the youngest sister wanted to go. On many nights she stood by the open window, looking up through the blue water. She could see the sun and it looked very big to her. If a ship went by up there, above her, she thought that it must be a very big fish.
The day now came when the oldest of the princess was fifteen and could go to the top of the sea.
When she came back she had many things to tell.

動物英語童話故事 15
I recently heard a story from Stephen Glenn about a famous research scientist who had made several very important medical breakthroughs. He was being interviewed by a newspaper reporter who asked him why he thought he was able to be so much more creative than the average person. What set him so far apart from others?
He responded that, in his opinion, it all came from an experience with his mother that occurred when he was about two years old. He had been trying to remove a bottle of milk from the refrigerator when he lost his grip on the slippery bottle and it fell, spilling its contents all over the kitchen floor - a veritable(名副其實(shí)的) sea of milk!
When his mother came into the kitchen, instead of yelling at him, giving him a lecture or punishing him, she said, "Robert, what a great and wonderful mess you have made! I have rarely seen such a huge puddle(水坑，泥潭) of milk. Well, the damage has already been done. Would you like to get down and play in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up?"
Indeed, he did. After a few minutes, his mother said, "You know, Robert, whenever you make a mess like this, eventually you have to clean it up and restore everything to its proper order. So, how would you like to do that? We could use a sponge, a towel or a mop. Which do you prefer?" He chose the sponge and together they cleaned up the spilled milk.
His mother then said, "You know, what we have here is a failed experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two tiny hands. Lets go out in the back yard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can discover a way to carry it without dropping it." The little boy learned that if he grasped the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. What a wonderful lesson!
This renowned scientist then remarked that it was at that moment that he knew he didnt need to be afraid to make mistakes. Instead, he learned that mistakes were just opportunities for learning something new, which is, after all, what scientific experiments are all about. Even if the experiment "doesnt work," we usually learn something valuable from it.
Wouldnt it be great if all parents would respond the way Roberts mother responded to him?
