小故事

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.



一天早上,一只狐狸看到了一只公鸡。他想:这是我的早餐。
他朝公鸡走来,对他说:“我知道,你能唱得非常好听,你能唱给我听么?”公鸡很高兴。他闭上眼睛开始唱歌。狐狸看到这些抓住它放到自己的嘴里走了。
在田地里的人们看到了狐狸。大喊大叫:“看,看!狐狸抓住公鸡逃走了。”公鸡对狐狸说:“狐狸先生,你能理解么?人们认为你叼走了公鸡。告诉他们这是你的,不是他们的。”
狐狸张开她的嘴说:“公鸡是我的,不是你们的。”就在那时,公鸡逃离了狐狸的嘴巴,跑到了树底下。
One morning a fox saw
a cock.He thought,"This is my breakfast.'' He came up to the cock
and said,"I know you can sing very well.Can you sing for me?''The
cock was glad.He closes his eyes and began to sing.The fox saw that
and caught him in his mouth and carried him away. The people in the
field saw the fox.They cried,"Look,look!The fox is carrying the
cock away.'' The cock said to the fox,"Mr Fox,do you understand?The
people say you are carrying their cock away.Tell them it is
yours.Not theirs.'' The fox opened his mouth and said,"The cock is
mine,not yours.''Just then the cock ran away from the fox and fled
into the tree.
