英语小故事 The Monkey and The Crocodile 猴子与鳄鱼(精美彩色插图)

Retold from the Panchatantram by Rohini Chowdhury

Once there lived a monkey in a jamun tree by a river.

The monkey was alone - he had no friends, no family,

but he was happy and content. The jamun tree gave

him plenty of sweet fruit to eat, and shade from the sun

and shelter from the rain.

One day a crocodile came swimming up the river and

climbed on to the bank to rest under the monkey's tree.

'Hello', called the monkey, who was a friendly animal. 'Hello', replied the crocodile, surprised. 'Do you know where I can get some food?' he asked. 'I haven't had anything to eat all day - there just don't seem to be any fish left in the river.'

'Well,' said the monkey, 'I don't eat fish so I wouldn't know - but I do have plenty of ripe purple jamuns in my tree. Would you like to try some?' He threw some down to the crocodile. The crocodile was so hungry that he ate up all the jamuns even though crocodiles don't eat fruit. He loved the sweet tangy fruit and shyly asked whether he could have some more. 'Of course', replied the monkey generously, throwing down more fruit. 'Come back whene ver you feel like more fruit', he added when the crocodile had eaten his fill.

After that the crocodile would visit the monkey

every day. The two animals soon became

friends - they would talk and tell each other

stories, and eat as much of the sweet jamuns as

they wanted. The monkey would throw down all the fruit the crocodile wanted from his tree.

One day the crocodile began talking about his wife and family. 'Why didn't you tell me earlier that you had a wife?' asked the monkey. 'Please take some of the jamuns for her as well when you go back today.' The crocodile thanked him and took some of the fruit for his wife.

The crocodile's wife loved the jamuns. She had never eaten anything so sweet before. 'Imagine', she said, 'how sweet would be the creature who eats these jamuns every day. The monkey has eaten these every day of his life - his flesh would be even sweeter than the fruit.' She asked her husband to invite the monkey for a meal - 'and then we can eat him up' she said happily.

The crocodile was appalled - how could he eat

his friend? He tried to explain to his wife that he

could not possibly eat the monkey. 'He is my

only true friend', he said. But she would not listen - she must eat the monkey. 'Since when do crocodiles eat fruit and spare animals?' she asked. When the crocodile would not agree to eat the monkey, she pretended to fall very sick. 'Only a monkey's heart can cure me', she wailed to her husband. 'If you love me you will get your friend the monkey and let me eat his heart.'

The poor crocodile did not know what to do - he did not want to eat his friend, but he could not let his wife die. At last he decided to bring the monkey to his wife.

'O dear friend', he called as soon as reached the jamun tree. ' My wife insists that you come to us for a meal. She is grateful for all the fruit that you have sent her, and asks that I bring you home with me.' The monkey was flattered, but said he could not possibly go because he did not know how to swim. 'Don't worry about that', said the crocodile. 'I'll carry you on my back.' The monkey agreed and jumped onto the crocodile's back.

The crocodile swam with him out into the deep wide river. When they were far away from the bank and the jamun tree, he said, 'My wife is very ill. The only thing that will cure her is a monkey's heart. So, dear friend, this will be the end of you and of our friendship.' The monkey was horrified. What could he do to save himself? He thought quickly and said 'Dear friend, I am very sorry to hear of your wife's illness and I am glad that I will be able to help her. But I have left my heart behind on the jamun tree. Do you think we could go back so that I can fetch it for your wife?'

The crocodile believed the monkey. He turned and

swam quickly to the jamun tree. The monkey leaped off

his back and into the safety of his tree. 'False and

foolish friend,' he called. 'Don't you know that we carry

our hearts within us? I will never trust you again or ever

give you fruit from my tree. Go away and don't come

back again.'

The crocodile felt really foolish - he had lost a friend and

a supply of good sweet fruit. The monkey had saved himself because he had thought quickly. He realised that a monkey and a crocodile could never be true friends - crocodiles preferred to eat monkeys rather than be friends with them.

Rising up in anger, he caught him and was about to kill him, when the mouse piteouslyentreated, 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 favour; but now you know that it is possible for even a Mouse to confer benefits on a lion." Little friends may prove great friends. 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，释放了牠，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。” 强者不会永远是强者，强者也会有需要弱者帮助的时候。 驴子与蚱蜢 An 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.

儿童英语小故事50字带翻译：守株待兔

儿童英语小故事50字带翻译：守株待兔 Once upon a time, there lived a farmer in the field of radish, he was too tired to day is sweat. Just then, he saw a rabbit, a head of bump in next to a tree. The farmers walked over a look, the rabbit and killed. The man was pleased, picked up the hare, in the evening he ate the hare. He think: if there is a rabbit to eat every day it would be great! Don’t work the next day, he went to the field, sitting in the tree an inferior, hope to have the hare ran, killed himself in a tree. He waited day after day, the hare didn’t come, all the turnip farmers. “Waiting” is from the story. “Plant” here is the “tree”. This idiom has two meanings. A metaphor is someone accidentally happened as experience, still firmly hold on to. A metaphor is people are reluctant to work conscientiously, delusional get unexpected harvest. 从前，有个农民在田里种萝卜，他累得满头都是汗水。正在这时，忽然跑来一只野兔，一头撞在旁边的大树上。农民走过去一看，兔子撞死了。那个人很高兴，把野兔捡了起来，晚上他把野兔吃了。他想：要是每天都有一只野兔吃该有多好啊！ 第二天，他到地里不劳动了，坐在大树下等着，希望再有野兔跑过来，自己撞死在大树上。 他等了一天又一天，野兔没有再来，农民的萝卜全都枯死了。 “守株待兔”就是从这个故事来的。“株”在这儿就是“树”。这个成语有两个意思。一个是比喻有人把偶然发生的事情当作经验，还牢牢守住不放。一个是比喻有人不愿切实地工作，妄想得到意外的收获。

At last, the first man was given a pile of bricks, the second a bag of seed and the third a mass of sand. 3虫子的压力 有这么一种虫子，它的体长还不到一毫米，也许因为在电子显微镜下看起来像一头黑熊，所以人们叫它雄虫。它主要生活在淡水的沉渣，潮湿土壤以及苔藓植物的水膜中。最近日本冈山大学物理学家小野文久发现了一个惊人的现象：当20只小熊虫被放入密封的容器内，在实验室制造的7.5万个大气压下，20只熊虫只有两只死亡，其余的18只安然无恙。7.5万个大气压！它相当于每平方豪米要承受700多千克重物的压力，它足以上淀粉瞬间变性，生米顷刻为熟饭。自然条件下，地球上也只有180千米的地幔深处才拥有如此大的压力。 至今没有人能弄清楚熊虫为何如此能忍。不只是出于对这种超强生命力的尊重还是怀疑，有人叫它地狱之虫。一个长度不超过1毫米的微不足道的虫子，能承受命运给他如此的压力，相比较而言，我们这些自称是高级动物，智慧生命，万物之灵的人呢？在人的现实生活中，有多少小小的心结，小小的压力构成我们所谓的生存压力。在这样的压力下又有多少悲观失落之人将美好的人生称作地狱？现在一比才觉得，其实我们的压力就好比是真空，我饿美女的地狱就是天堂中的天堂。在那一刻，我在心里默默地鞠了一躬，不是为熊虫，而是感谢造物主没有把这样的压力降在人间。 W orm’s Pressure This is a worm whose body is no less than one millimeter. It is called 熊虫(XC) perhaps for the reason that it looks like a black bear under the microscop. The XC usually habited in the slurry of fresh water, wet soil and the 水膜of moss plants. Recently, there was an amazing news discovered by 日本冈山大学物理学家小野文久: when 20 little XC were placed in a sealed container under the 7.5 万个大气压making in experiment condition, there were only two died and the other 18 have no trouble at all. 7.5 万个大气压, equal to over 700 kilogram stress per square meter, which is powerful enough to它足以上淀粉瞬间变性and the rice ready to eat.

Why do we have libraries? What good are these documents and history books? Why do we record and save the actions of men, the negotiations1 of government officials and the events during wars? We do it because, sometimes, the voice of experience can cause us to stop, look and listen. Sometimes, past records, when understood in the right way, can help us decide what to do and what not to do. If we are ever to create lasting peace, we must seek its origins in human experience and in the records of human history. From the stories of courage and devotion of men and women, we create the inspirations of youth. History records the suffering, the self-denial2, the devotion, and the heroic deeds of people in the past. These records can help us when we are confused and when we really need peace.
