　　英文寓言小故事篇1：　　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 come 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，一直追过院子。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。"

　　英文寓言小故事篇2：　　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.

　　He was surprised, and then burst into tears.All the neighbors gathered around him.

　　He told them how he used to come and visit his gold.

　　"Did you ever take any of it out?" asked one of them. "No," he said, "I only came to look at it." "Then come again and look at the hole," said the neighbor, "it will be the same as looking at the gold."

　　守财奴

　　从前，有个守财奴将他的金块埋到一棵树下，每周他都去把他挖出来看看。

　　一天晚上，一个小偷挖走了所有的金块。 守财奴再来查看时，发现除了一个空洞什么都没有了。

　　守财奴便捶胸痛哭。哭声引来了邻居

　　他告诉他们这里原来有他的金块。

　　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。”

　　英文寓言小故事篇3：　　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. They replied, "The dew." The Ass resolved that he would only live upon dew, and in a short time died of hunger.

　　驴和蚱蜢

　　一只驴听到几只蚱蜢在叫，便觉得很有趣;于是也想得到同样有趣的音调，便问蚱蜢吃什么东西过活，以致于能有这样优美的声音。蚱蜢说：「露水。」驴子听了，从此以后也单吃露水过活，不久便饿死了。

　　英文寓言小故事篇4：　　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。
