　 小学英语趣味小故事四则（一）两只狗A man has two dogs: a hound and a housedog. He trains the hound to help him hurt and teaches the housedog to watch the house. When he returns home after a day’s hunt, he always gives the house-dog some meat. The hound feels very angry. He says unhappily to the housedog, “Where I work very hard outside, you share my food.” “Don’t blame me, my friend. You should blame the master. He doesn’t teach me to hurt, but to share other’s food,” the housedog answers.Don’t blame children for the mistakes of their parent有一个人养了两条狗：一条是猎犬，一条是看家狗。他训练猎狗帮他打猎，教看家狗守家。当猎人打了一天猎回家后，总要分给看家狗一些肉，猎狗对此很生气。它不高兴地对看家狗说道：“我在外边追捕猎物十分辛苦，而你在家什么都不做，但你却分享我的食物。”看家狗回答道：“不要责怪我，我的朋友。你应该去责备主人。他不教我打猎，却只教我分享别人的食物。”不要因为父母的错误而去责备孩子。（二）狮子国王THE BEASTS of the field and forest had a Lion as their king. He was neither wrathful, cruel, nor tyrannical, but just and gentle as a king could be. During his reign he made a royal proclamation for a general assembly of all the birds and beasts, and drew up conditions for a universal league, in which the Wolf and the Lamb, the Panther and the Kid, the Tiger and the Stag, the Dog and the Hare, should live together in perfect peace and amity. The Hare said, "Oh, how I have longed to see this day, in which the weak shall take their place with impunity by the side of the strong." And after the Hare said this, he ran for his life.有只狮子做了国王，他善良、温和，与人一样和平、公正。在他的统治下，惩恶扬善，裁决动物之间的纠纷，使所有的动物和睦相处。胆小的兔子说：“我祈祷能得到这样的日子，那时弱者就不怕被强者伤害了。” 然后赶紧逃命去了。（三）狼与小羊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.一只小羊在河边喝水，狼见到后，便想找一个名正言顺的借口吃掉他。于是他跑到上游，恶狠狠地说小羊把河水搅浑浊了，使他喝不到清水。小羊回答说，他仅仅站在河边喝水，并且又在下游，根本不可能把上游的水搅浑。狼见此计不成，又说道：“我父亲去年被你骂过。”小羊说，那时他还没有出生。狼对他说：“不管你怎样辩解，反正我不会放过 你。”这说明，对恶人做任何正当的辩解也是无效的。（四）狐狸的故事An unlucky fox fell into a well. It was quite deep, so he could not get out by himself..A goat passed by. He asked the fox what he was doing in the well. "Oh, have you not heard?" said the fox. "There is going to be a great drought, so I jumped down to get some water. Why don't you come down here too?"The goat believed his words, and jumped down into the well.But the fox immediately jumped on the goat's back and up to the edge of the well. "Good-bye, friend," said the fox. "Remember next time don't trust the advice of a man in difficulties."一只不走运的狐狸，失足掉到了井里。井很深，他无法跳出来。一只山羊经过这里，便问狐狸在井下做什么。狐狸说："哦，你没有听说吗?这里将要大旱，因此我跳进来取水，为什么你不下来一起喝呢?"山羊相信了狐狸的话，就真的跳进井里。狐狸立即跳上山羊的背，又一跳，跳上了井沿。"再见，朋友，"狐狸说，"记住，不要相信一个身陷麻烦的人的建议。"
