英语寓言小故事篇一 The Wolf and the Lamba Wolf, meeting with a Lamb astray from the fold, resolved not to lay violent hands on him, but to find some plea, which should justify to the Lamb himself his 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." On 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. 狼和小羊 一只狼瞧见一只迷路失群的小羊，决定暂缓下毒手，想先找一些理由， 对小羊证明自己有吃它的权利。它就说：「小鬼!你去年曾经骂过我。」小羊 可怜地说：「老实说，我去年还没有出生呢。」狼再说：「你在我的草地上 吃过草。」 小羊回答说：「不，好先生，我还未曾尝过草的味道呢。」狼又说： 「你喝过我井里的水。」小羊叫道：「不，我从没有喝过水，因为直到今天 为止，我都是吃着母亲的奶汁。」狼一听这话，便抓住它，把它吃下去，便 说：「好!即使你驳倒我每一句话，我终究要吃晚餐的 !」暴君总有他暴行的 借口。 英语寓言小故事篇二 The Ass and the Grasshopperan Ass having heard some Grasshoppers chirping, was highly enchanted; and, desiring to possess the same charms of melody, demanded what sort of food they lived on, to give them such beautiful voices.

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.
