优秀幼儿英语故事短文：Frog and Bullock
A frog that watched a bullock grazing near resolved she'd try her best to match his girth and height. She was an envious frog. See how she puffs and swells and strains with all her might.
"Come, tell me, quickly dear, am I as big as he?" she asks a froggy friend.
"Oh no, my dear, not nearly."
"Now just you watch me stretch! Look close, and tell me clearly. Well, then! You see? I'm filling out?"
"It don't seem much to me."
"Well -- now?"
"Just like you were at first."
At last her wild attempts the bounds of nature passed, she never swelled to bullock's size, but strained so hard, she cracked and burst.
She's not the first, and not the last. No wonder, when the little shop man tries to match the splendor5 of the Provost's board. And Hodge the farmer's son spends money like a lord.
优秀幼儿英语故事短文：The Crab and the Fox
A crab once left the sea-shore and went and settled in a meadow some way inland, which looked very nice and green and seemed likely to be a good place to feed in. But a hungry fox came along and spied the crab and caught him.
Just as he was going to be eaten up, the crab said, "This is just what I deserve, for I had no business to leave my natural home by the sea and settle here as though I belonged to the land."
优秀幼儿英语故事短文：Pumpkin Cart of Seven Mice
Early autumn in the pumpkin garden, there came seven wide mice escaping from a big and terrifying cat. They rushed into green vines and leaves aplenty with big and round pumpkins.
The prideful cat hunted around like a chicken with its head cut off in vain and finally left in dismay.
"Hooray, we are safe now!"
When they came out, they were deeply attracted. The giant pumpkin leaves were as huge as the lotus leaves while the pumpkins were orange through a summer's sunlight.
The smallest mouse's nose jutted out and got very close to a pumpkin. He smelled with a smile: "Great, it's sweat! It must be the biggest pumpkin I've ever seen. I am hungry now. I guess it must be better in my belly!"
Other six mice were hungry to "Running costs energy!"
They rushed to the pumpkin and bit holes with their shape teeth. They ate, ate and ate not only the delicious meat but also the seed. Finally they stopped eating and felt good for their full and round bellies.
Then they burped and climbed out of the pumpkin. When they saw their great work, they all laughed: "Aha, look, the pumpkin has holes here and there!"
The smallest mouse suddenly had a good idea and shouted: "Why not roll it as a pumpkin cart. It must be very interesting!"
Other six mice all agreed:"Just do it!"
Then they all entered the pumpkin shell and pushed it ahead forcefully: "One, two, three, go!"
Just at that time, the cat unwilling to give up returned back.
When he saw such giant pumpkin rolled at him with bright eyes shining in holes and heard the deafening song, he screamed: "Ghost is coming!"
The cat ran away in fear and never came back.
All the mice cheered up and sang:
"Pumpkin cart, pumpkin cart,
Orange and beautiful,
We are your great driver.
Pumpkin cart, pumpkin cart,
Giant and brave,
You can defeat the evil.
Pumpkin cart, pumpkin cart,
Belong to seven mice…"
