1.父亲和他的儿子 THE FATHER AND HIS SONS
Father had a family of sons who were perpetually quarrelling among themselves. When he failed to heal their disputes by his exhortations, he determined to give them a practical illustration of the evils of disunion; and for this purpose he one day told them to bring him a bundle of sticks. When they had done so, he placed the faggot into the hands of each of them in succession, and ordered them to break it in pieces. They each tried with all their strength, and were not able to do it.
He next unclosed the faggot, and took the sticks separately, one by one, and again put them into their hands, on which they broke them easily. He then addressed them in these words： “My sons, if you are of one mind, and unite to assist each other, you will be as this faggot, uninjured by all the attempts of your enemies； but if you are divided among yourselves, you will be broken as easily as these sticks.”
一位父亲有几个孩子，这些孩子时常发生口角。他丝毫没有办法来劝阻他们，只好让他们看看不合群所带来害处的例子。为了达到这个目的，有一天他叫他们替他拿一捆细柴来。当他们把柴带来时，他便先后地将那捆柴放在每一个孩子的手中，吩咐他们弄断这捆柴。他们一个个尽力去试，总是不能成功。
然后他解开那捆柴，一根根地放在他们手里，如此一来，他们便毫不费力地折断了。于是他就告诉他们说：“孩子们！如果你们大家团结一致，互相帮助，你们就像这捆柴一样，不能被你们的敌人折断；但如果你们自行分裂，你们就将和这些散柴一般，不堪一折了。”

2.狮子和老鼠 THE LION AND THE MOUSE
Lion was awakened from sleep by a Mouse running over his face. Rising up in anger, he caught him and was about to kill him, when the Mouse piteously entreated, saying： “If you would only spare my life, I would be sure to repay your kindness.” The Lion laughed and let him go.
It happened shortly after this that the Lion was caught by some hunters, who bound him by strong ropes to the ground. The Mouse, recognizing his roar, came up, and gnawed the rope with his teeth, and setting him free, exclaimed: “You ridiculed the idea of my ever being able to help you, not expecting to receive from me any repayment of your favor； but now you know that it is possible for even a Mouse to confer benefits on a Lion.”
一只老鼠从一只狮子面前跑过去，将它从梦中吵醒。狮子生气地跳起来，捉住老鼠，要弄死它。老鼠哀求说：“只要你肯饶恕我这条小生命，我将来一定会报答你的大恩。”狮子便笑着放了它。
后来狮子被几个猎人捉住，用粗绳捆绑倒在地上。老鼠听出是狮子的吼声，走来用牙齿咬断绳索，释放了他，并大声说：“你当时嘲笑我想帮你的忙，而且也不指望我有什么机会报答。但是你现在知道了，就算是小老鼠，也能向狮子效劳的。”

③ 五分钟高中水平英语故事

Before, very few foreigners visited the southem foot of Himalayas. Then, many Japanese went there. It is said that this is because of the honesty of a small boy.

One day, some Japanese photographers asked a local boy to buy some bottles of beer, which took the boy three hours.

The next day, the boy volunteered to buy for them. The photographer gave him a lot of money. But the boy did not return until the afternoon of the third day. So the photographers began to talk about it and thought they were cheated by the boy. The third night, the boy knocked the door of the photographer. The boy told them that he bought four bottles of beer at one store, and then he climbed another mountain and crossed a river to buy the other six. On the way back, three bottles of them were broken, he cried and brought the broken pieces of bottles to the photographer and gave him the small changes.

The people there were moved, which moved more people. Then more travelers came to the place.

早年，尼泊尔的喜马拉雅山南麓很少有外国人涉足。后来，许多日本人到这里观光旅游，据说，这是源于一位少年的诚信。

一天，几位日本摄影师请当地一位少年买啤酒， 这位少年为之跑了3个多小时。

第二天，那个少年又自告奋勇地再替他们买啤酒。这次摄影师们给了他很多钱，但直到第三天下午那个少年还没回来。于是，摄影师们议论纷纷，都认为那个少年把钱骗走了。第三天夜里，那个少年敲开了摄影师的门。原来，他只购得四瓶啤酒，尔后，他又翻了一座山，趟过一条河才购得另外6瓶，返回时摔坏了3 瓶。他哭着拿着碎玻璃片，向摄影师交回零钱，在场的人无不动容。

这个故事使许多外国人深受感动。后来，到这儿的游客越来越多。

The Fox and the Crow
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.
狐狸和乌鸦
一次,一个狐狸看到一只乌鸦嘴里衔着一块奶酪飞过并停在了树枝上.“那是给我的,因为我是一只狐狸.”狐狸说道,然后便走到树脚边.“早安,乌鸦女主人,”他哭着说“你今天看上去很好,你的羽毛很有光泽,你的眼睛也闪着光芒,我相信你的歌喉一定比其他鸟儿都好,就像你的羽毛一样;请让我聆听你的歌声,仅仅一首,也许我会把你尊为鸟中之后.”乌鸦听了很高兴,于是就开始展现自己最棒的一面,但是正当她张开嘴,那块奶酪就落到了地上,没想到竟被狐狸抢走了.“行了,”他说道“那是我想要的.那就用这奶酪交换一条对你未来的建议吧.”不要相信奉承者.

⑤ 英语单词的故事

罗马的英语原来只有10 个月，古罗马皇帝决定增加两个月放在年尾，后来朱里斯*凯撒大帝把这两个月移到年初，成为1月.2月，原来的1月.2月便成了3月.4月，依次类推。这就是今天世界沿用的公历。
January——1月
在罗马传说中，有一位名叫雅努斯的守护神，生有先后两副脸，一副回顾过去，一副要眺望未来。人们认为选择他的名字作为除旧迎新的第一个月月名，很有意义。英语January，便是由这位守护神的拉丁文名字January演变而来的。
February——2月
每年2 月初，罗马人民都要杀牲饮酒，欢庆菲勃卢姆节。这一天，人们常用一种牛、草制成的名叫Februa的鞭子，抽打不育的妇女，以求怀孕生子。这一天，人们还要忏悔自己过去一年的罪过，洗刷自己的灵魂，求得神明的饶恕，使自己成为一个贞洁的人。英语2月February，便是由拉丁文Februar-ius（即菲勃卢姆节）演变而来。
March-----3月
3月，原是罗马旧历法的1 月，新年的开始。凯撒大帝改革历法后，原来的1月变成3月，但罗马人仍然把3 月看做是一年的开始。另外，按照传统习惯，3月是每年出征远战的季节。为了纪念战神玛尔斯，人们便把这位战神的拉丁名字作为3月的月名。英语3月March，便是由这位战神的名字演变而来的。
April——4月
罗马的4月，正是大地回春.鲜花初绽的美好季节。英文4月April便由拉丁文April（即开花的日子）演变而来。
May——5月
罗马神话中的女神玛雅，专门司管春天和生命。为了纪念这位女神，罗马人便用她的名字——拉丁文Maius命名5月，英文5月May便由这位女神的名字演变而来。
June——6月
罗马神话中的裘诺，是众神之王，又是司管生育和保护妇女的神。古罗马对她十分崇敬，便把6月奉献给她，以她的名字——拉丁文Junius来命名6 月。英语6月June便由这位女神的名字演变而来。也有学者认为，Junius可能是代表拉丁家族中一个显赫贵族的姓氏。
July——7月
罗马统治者朱里斯*凯撒大帝被刺死后，著名的罗马将军马克*按东尼建议将凯撒大帝诞生的7月，用凯撒的名字——拉丁文Julius（即朱里斯）命名之。这一建议得到了元老院的通过。英语7月July由此演变而来。
August——8月
朱里斯*凯撒死后，由他的甥孙屋大维续任罗马皇帝。为了和凯撒齐名，他也想用自己的名字来命名一个月份。他的生日在9月，但他选定8月。因为他登基后，罗马元老院在8 月授予他Augustus（奥古斯都）的尊号。于是，他决定用这个尊号来命名8月。原来8月比7月少一天，为了和凯撒平起平坐，他又决定从2月中抽出一天加在8月上。从此，2月便少了一天。英语8月August便由这位皇帝的拉丁语尊号演变而来。
September——9月
老历法的7月，正是凯撒大帝改革历法后的9月，拉丁文Septem是“7”月的意思。虽然历法改革了，但人们仍袭用旧名称来称呼9月。英语9月September，便由 此演变而来。
October——10月
英语10月，来自拉丁文Octo，即“8”的意思。它和上面讲的9月一样，历法改了，称呼仍然沿用未变。
November——11月
罗马皇帝奥古斯都和凯撒都有了自己名字命名的月份，罗马市民和元老院要求当时的罗马皇帝梯比里乌斯用其名命名11月。但梯比里乌斯没有同意，他明智地对大家说，如果罗马每个皇帝都用自己的名字来命名月份，那么出现了第13个皇帝怎么办？于是，11月仍然保留着旧称Novem，即拉丁文“9”的意思。英语11月November便由此演变而来。
December——12月罗马皇帝琉西乌斯要把一年中最后一个月用他情妇的Amagonius的名字来命名，但遭到元老院的反对。于是，12月仍然沿用旧名Decem，即拉丁文“10”的意思。英语12月December，便由此演变而来。

Once upon a time, there was a wolf. The Wolf was maimed . He couldn't out to eat.
He was very hungry and thirsty. He saw a sheep.
"If you bring me the water," he said, "I will find to get some food." But the sheep said , "if I bring you the water, then I will be your food."

狼和羊
很久很久以前，这里有一只狼。他受伤了。他不能外出捕食。他感到又饿又渴，这时，他看见一只羊。“你给我一点水解渴”，他说，“我就能自己去寻找食物了。”
“是呀”，羊回答说，“如果我给你送水喝，那么我就会成为你的食物。”

Once upon a time, a mountain shaked .
People came from far and near to see what would happen.

"A river will be appear." a people said ."Will soon have a dragon appear." another man said .
After the day, a mouse jumped out from there.

山

很久以前，一座大山隆隆作响，摇晃起来。远近各处的人都来看是怎么回事。
一个人说："要出现一条大河了。"
另一个人说："准会出现一条巨龙。"
等了几天之后，山坡上终于裂开一条小缝，却蹦出来一只耗子。

Big Head

“All the kids make fun of me”the boy cried to his mother.“They say I have a big head”
“Don't listen to them.”his mother comforted him.“You have a beautiful head .Now stop crying and go to the store for ten pounds of potatoes”
“Where's the shopping bag?”
“I haven't got one,use your hat.”

“我没有购物袋，就用你的帽子吧。”

The Thirsty Pigeon口渴的鸽子

A PIGEON, oppressed by excessive thirst, saw a goblet of water painted on a signboard. Not supposing it to be only a picture, she flew towards it with a loud whir and unwittingly dashed against the signboard, jarring herself terribly. Having broken her wings by the blow, she fell to the ground, and was caught by one of the bystanders.

Zeal should not outrun discretion.

有只鸽子口渴得很难受，看见画板上画着一个水瓶，以为是真的。他立刻呼呼地猛飞过 去，不料一头碰撞在画板上，折断了翅膀，摔在地上，被人轻易地捉住了。

这是说，有些人想急于得到所需的东西，一时冲动，草率从事，就会身遭不幸。

The Raven and the Swan乌鸦和天鹅

A RAVEN saw a Swan and desired to secure for himself the same beautiful plumage. Supposing that the Swan's splendid white color arose from his washing in the water in which he swam, the Raven left the altars in the neighborhood where he picked up his living, and took up residence in the lakes and pools. But cleansing his feathers as often as he would, he could not change their color, while through want of food he perished.

Change of habit cannot alter Nature.

乌鸦非常羡慕天鹅洁白的羽毛。他猜想天鹅一定是经常洗澡，羽毛才变得如此洁白无 瑕。于是，他毅然离开了他赖以生存的祭坛，来到江湖边。他天天洗刷自己的羽毛，不但一 点都没洗白，反而因缺少食物饥饿而死。

这故事是说，人的本性不会随着生活方式的改变而改变。

The Goat and the Goatherd 山羊与牧羊人

A GOATHERD had sought to bring back a stray goat to his flock. He whistled and sounded his horn in vain; the straggler paid no attention to the summons. At last the Goatherd threw a stone, and breaking its horn, begged the Goat not to tell his master. The Goat replied, "Why, you silly fellow, the horn will speak though I be silent."

Do not attempt to hide things which cannot be hid.

很多山羊被牧羊人赶到羊圈里。有一只山羊不知在吃什么好东西，单独落在后面。牧羊 人拿起一块石头扔了过去，正巧打断了山羊的一只角。牧羊人吓得请求山羊不要告诉主人， 山羊说：“即使我不说，又怎能隐瞒下去呢？我的角已断了，这是十分明显的事实。”

这故事说明，明显的罪状是无法隐瞒的。

The Miser守财奴

A MISER sold all that he had and bought a lump of gold, which he buried in a hole in the ground by the side of an old wall and went to look at daily. One of his workmen observed his frequent visits to the spot and decided to watch his movements. He soon discovered the secret of the hidden treasure, and digging down, came to the lump of gold, and stole it. The Miser, on his next visit, found the hole empty and began to tear his hair and to make loud lamentations. A neighbor, seeing him overcome with grief and learning the cause, said, "Pray do not grieve so; but go and take a stone, and place it in the hole, and fancy that the gold is still lying there. It will do you quite the same service; for when the gold was there, you had it not, as you did not make the slightest use of it."

有个守财奴变卖了他所有的家产，换回了金块，并秘密地埋在一个地方。他每天走去看 看他的宝藏。有个在附近放羊的牧人留心观察，知道了真情，趁他走后，挖出金块拿走了。 守财奴再来时，发现洞中的金块没有了，便捶胸痛哭。有个人见他如此悲痛，问明原因后， 说道：“喂，朋友，别再难过了，那块金子虽是你买来的，但并不是你真正拥有的。去拿一 块石头来，代替金块放在洞里，只要你心里想着那是块金子，你就会很高兴。这样与你拥有 真正的金块效果没什么不同。依我之见，你拥有那金块时，也从没用过。”

这故事说明，一切财物如不使用等于没有。

The Wolf and the Lamb 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。

The Bat and the Weasels蝙蝠与黄鼠狼

A BAT who fell upon the ground and was caught by a Weasel pleaded to be spared his life. The Weasel refused, saying that he was by nature the enemy of all birds. The Bat assured him that he was not a bird, but a mouse, and thus was set free. Shortly afterwards the Bat again fell to the ground and was caught by another Weasel, whom he likewise entreated not to eat him. The Weasel said that he had a special hostility to mice. The Bat assured him that he was not a mouse, but a bat, and thus a second time escaped.

It is wise to turn circumstances to good account.

蝙蝠掉落在地上，被黄鼠狼叼去，他请求饶命。黄鼠狼说绝不会放过他，自己生来痛恨鸟类。蝙蝠说他是老鼠，不是鸟，便被放了。后来蝙蝠又掉落了下来，被另一只黄鼠狼叼住，他再三请求不要吃他。这只黄鼠狼说他恨一切鼠类。蝙蝠改口说自己是鸟类，并非老 鼠，又被放了。这样，蝙蝠两次改变了自己的名字，终于死里逃生。

这故事说明，我们遇事要随机应变方能避免危险。

THE FISHERMAN AND THE GENIE
Once upon a time there was an old fisherman. He went fishing very early every morning, but he never cast his net more than four times a day.
One morning, he went out early to the sea. He cast his net for the first time, and drew in the body of an animal. He cast it a second time, and drew in an old basket full of sand. He cast it a third time, and drew in a lot of stones. It seemed he would have nothing to take home that morning.
Day had now broken, and he cast his net for last time. After some time, he began to draw the net in. He found it was very heavy. But there were not any fish in it. Instead he found a jar with a lid. He shook the jar, but could hear nothing. So he took off the lid and looked inside. He could see nothing. After a while a light smoke came slowly out of the jar. Then little by little, the smoke grew heavier and thicker till finally it turned into a terrible Genie!
"Get down on your knees," said the Genie, "for I'm going to kill you."
"Why? Didn't I set you free from the jar?"
"That's why I'm going to kill you, but I'll let you choose how you're going to die."
"But why?"
"Listen, and I will tell you my story."
"I was one of the spirits in heaven. But I did not want to obey Solomon's orders. So one day, he put me in this jar and threw it into the sea.
"During the first hundred years of my stay in the sea, I made a promise that if anyone set me free I would make him very rich. But no one came. During the second hundred years, I promised that if anyone set me free I would show him all the treasures in the world. But still no one came. During the third hundred years, I promised that if anyone came to set me free, I would make him king over the earth.
"Still no one came. Then I became very angry, and decided that if anyone should set me free I would kill him at once. Now you have come and set me free. So you must die, but I will let you say how you want to die."
The fisherman was not frightened. He said: "Since I must die, I must. But before I die, answer me one question."
"All right, but be quick."
"Were you really in the jar? You are so big and the jar is so small that it could hardly hold one of your feet."
"Of course I was in the jar. Don't you believe me?"
"No, and I won't until I've seen you in the jar with my own eyes."
When he heard this, the Genie changed into smoke. Slowly the smoke went back into the jar. When all of it was in the jar, the fisherman quickly put the lid on and threw it back into the sea.
从前有一个渔夫，家里很穷。他每天早上到海边去捕鱼，但是他自己立下一条规矩，每天至多撒四次网。
有一天早上，撒了三次网，什么都没捞着，他很不高兴。第四次把网拉拢来的时候，他觉得太重了，简直拉不动。他就脱了衣服跳下水去，把网拖上岸来。打开网一看，发现网里有一个胆形的黄铜瓶，瓶口用锡封着，锡上盖着所罗门的印。
渔夫一见，笑逐颜开，说道：“我把这瓶子带到市上去，可以卖它十块金币。”他抱着铜瓶摇了一摇，觉得很重，里面似乎塞满了东西。他自言自语地说：“这个瓶里到底装的什么东西？我要打开来看个清楚，再拿去卖。”他就从腰带上拔出小刀，撬去瓶口上的锡封，然后摇摇瓶子，想把里面的东西倒出来，但是什么东西也没有。他觉得非常奇怪。
隔一会儿，瓶里冒出一股青烟，飘飘荡荡地升到空中，继而弥漫在大地上，逐渐凝成一团，最后变成个巨大的魔鬼，披头散发，高高地耸立在渔夫面前。魔鬼头像堡垒，手像铁叉，腿像桅杆，口像山洞，牙齿像白石块，鼻孔像喇叭，眼睛像灯笼，样子非常凶恶。
渔夫一看见这可怕的魔鬼，呆呆的不知如何应付。一会儿，他听见魔鬼叫道：“所罗门啊，别杀我，以后我不敢再违背您的命令了！”
“魔鬼！”渔夫说道，“所罗门已经死了一千八百年了。你是怎麽钻到这个瓶子里的呢？”
魔鬼说：“渔夫啊，准备死吧！你选择怎样死吧，我立刻就要把你杀掉！”
“我犯了什么罪？”渔夫问道，“我把你从海里捞上来，又把你从胆瓶里放出来，救了你的命，你为什么要杀我？”
魔鬼答道：“你听一听我的故事就明白了。”
“说吧，”渔夫说，“简单些。”
“你要知道，”魔鬼说，“我是个无恶不作的凶神，曾经跟所罗门作对，他派人把我捉去，装在这个胆瓶里，用锡封严了，又盖上印，投到海里。我在海里呆着，在第一个世纪里，我常常想：‘谁要是在这个世纪里解救我，我一定报答他，使他终身享受荣华富贵。’一百年过去了，可是没有人来解救我。第二个世纪开始的时候，我说：‘谁要是在这个世纪里解救我，我一定报答他，把全世界的宝库都指点给他。’可是没有人来解救我。第三个世纪开始的时候，我说：‘谁要是在这个世纪里解救我，我一定报答他，满足他的三种愿望。’可是整整过了四百年，始终没有人来解救我。于是我非常生气，我说：‘从今以后，谁要是来解救我，我一定要杀死他，不过准许他选择怎样死。’渔夫，现在你解救了我，所以我叫你选择你的死法。”
渔夫叫道：“好倒霉啊，碰上我来解救你！是我救了你的命啊！”
“正因为你救了我，我才要杀你啊！”
“好心对待你，你却要杀我！老话确实讲得不错，这真是‘恩将仇报’了！”
“别再罗唆了，”魔鬼说道，“反正你是非死不可的。”
这时候渔夫想道：“他是个魔鬼，我是个堂堂的人。我的智慧一定能压制他的妖气。”于是他对魔鬼说：“你决心要杀我吗？”
“不错。”
“凭神的名字起誓，我要问你一件事，你必须说实话。”
“可以，”魔鬼说，“问吧，要简短些。”
“你不是住在这个胆瓶里吗？可是照道理说，这个铜瓶既容不下你一只手，更容不下你一条腿，怎麽容得下你这样庞大的整个身体呀？”
“你不相信我住在这个胆瓶里吗？”
“我没有亲眼看见，绝对不能相信。”
这时候，魔鬼摇身一变，变成一团青烟，逐渐缩成一缕，慢慢地钻进胆瓶。渔夫见青烟全进了胆瓶，就立刻拾起盖印的锡封，把瓶口封上，然后学着魔鬼的口吻大声说：“告诉我吧，魔鬼，你希望怎样死？现在我决心把你投到海里去。”
魔鬼听了渔夫的话，就说：“渔夫，刚才我是跟你开玩笑的。”
“下流无耻的魔鬼，你这是说谎呀！”渔夫一边把胆瓶挪近海边，准备扔到海里去，一边说，“我要把你投到海里，你说你在海里已经住过一千八百年，这一回我非叫你在海里住一辈子不可。我知道你是坏透了的。我不仅要把你投到海里，还要把你怎样对待我的事告诉世人，叫大家当心。捞着你就立刻把你投回海里去，叫你永远留在海里。”
