经典英语小故事（一）：

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 e off best。 Sometimes the small ones win， you know。"

老鼠和公牛

有一次，公牛躺着打盹，一只老鼠咬了他的尾巴。公牛怒气冲冲地跳起来，低着头追老鼠，一向追过院子。然而，老鼠跑得比他快多了，从容地钻到墙洞里去了。

公牛一次又一次地猛撞墙壁，尽管头撞肿了，角撞裂了，老鼠却安然待在洞里。过了一会儿，公牛不撞了，倒下歇着。

公牛刚睡着，小老鼠就爬到洞口，嗒嗒地跑过院子，又咬了公牛一口??这回咬了鼻子??又跑回安全的地方去。当公牛毫无办法地吼叫时，老鼠吱吱叫道：

"大人物并不总占上风。有时小人物也会取胜。"

经典英语小故事（二）：

On a vacation trip， Duke Huan of the state of Qi came to the ruin of the capital of Guo Shi ， which perished long ago。

Seeing the desolate and bleak prospects of broken tiles， collapsed walls， and clusters of weeds， he could not help asking the local people about the reason of the ruin of Guo Shi。

They replied，"Guo Shi was fond of doing good deeds， and averse to evildoing， which led to the perdition。"

When the Duke could not understand the answer， people explained ，" Though he liked doing good， he had never been able to do so; though he hated evildoing， never could he help not participating。 That caused the ruin of his capital。"

郭氏之墟

齐桓公出游途中，来到已经灭亡许久的郭氏都城的废墟。

看到瓦砾残垣、杂草丛生的萧条景象，忍不住问当地百姓郭氏灭亡的原因。

百姓们回答说："郭氏由于喜爱善行善事。厌恶邪恶丑行而导致灭亡。"

齐桓公不能理解这种回答，百姓们便解释说："郭氏虽然喜爱善行善事，但从来都不能做到;尽管厌恶邪恶丑行，却总是忍不住参与其中。这就是他的都城变成废墟的原因。"

经典英语小故事（三）：

Making His Mark

A man from the state of Chu was taking a boat across a river when he dropped his sword into the water carelessly。 Immediately he made a mark on the side of the boat where the sword dropped， hoping to find it later。 When the boat stopped moving， he went into the water to search for his sword at the place where he had marked the boat。 As we know， the boat had moved but the sword had not。 Isn't this a very foolish way to look for a sword?

刻舟求剑

楚国有个人坐船渡江时，他不细心把自我的一把宝剑掉落江中。他立刻掏出一把小刀，在宝剑落水的船舷上刻上一个记号。船靠岸后，那楚人立即从船上刻记号的地方跳下水去捞取掉落的宝剑。他怎样找得到宝剑呢？船继续行驶，而宝剑却不会再移动。像他这样去找剑，真是太愚蠢可笑了。

经典英语小故事（四）：

The miser and his gold Once upon a time there was a miser。 He hid his gold under a tree。 Every week he used to dig it up。

One night a robber stole all the gold。 When the miser came again， he found nothing but an empty hole。

守财奴便捶胸痛哭。哭声引来了邻居

他告诉他们那里原先有他的金块。

问明了原因后，一个邻居问：“你使用过这些金块吗?” “没用过，” 他说，“我只是时常来看看。”“那么，以后再来看这个洞，”邻居说，“就像以前有金块时一样。”

经典英语小故事（五）：

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 e 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 e and live in the city。 You would live in a nice house made of stone。 You would have nice food to eat。 You must e 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 ing!" 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。"

城里老鼠和乡下老鼠

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：“你必须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我的家里。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？你应当搬到城里去住，你能住上用石头造的漂亮房子，还会吃上美味佳肴，你应当到我城里的家看看。”

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！”他们飞快地跑开躲藏起来。

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。因为这样虽然贫穷可是欢乐自在，比起虽然富有却要过着提心吊胆的生活来说，要好些。

经典英语小故事（六）：

A Man and a Satyr having struck up an acquaintance， sat down together to eat。 The day being wintry and cold， the Man put his fingers to his mouse and blew opon them。 "What's that for， my friend?" asked the Satyr。 " My hands are so cold，" said the Man， "I do it to warm them。" In a little while some hot food was placed before them， and the Man， raising the dish to his mouse， again blew opon it。 "And what's the meaning of that， now?" said the Satyr。 "Oh，" replied the Man， "my porridge is so hot， I do it to cool it。" "Nay， then，" said the Satyr， "from this moment I renounce your friendship， for I will have nothing to do with one who blows hot and cold with the same mouse。"

一个人与赛特偶然相识，坐在一齐吃东西。正值冬季，天气很冷，那人把手放在嘴边哈气。赛特问道“我的朋友，那是干吗?”这人说“我的手太冷了，这是为了取暖”。过了一会儿，热腾腾的食物端上来了，那人把碟子举到嘴边又吹了起来，赛特问“这又是干吗?”，那人说“哦，我的粥太烫了，我把他吹凉些”。赛特说“从此刻起，我要与你绝交，因为我不想和一个反复无常的人做朋友”。
