寓言小故事英文版1：The goose that laid the golden eggs

A man and his Wife had the good fortune to possess a goose which laid a golden egg every day.

Lucky though they were, they soon began to think they were not getting rich fast enough, and imagining the bird must be made of gold inside, they decided to kill it in order to securethe whole store of precious metal at once.

But when they cut it open they found it was just like any other goose.

Thus, they neither got rich all at once, as they had hoped, nor enjoyed any longer the daily addition to their wealth.

Much wants more and loses all.

寓言小故事英文版2:The roc

There was once a bird called the roc, whose back was as big as Mount Tai and whose wings were like clouds that overspread the heaven.

When it wheeled up into the air a whirlwind arose, and in each flight it covered ninety thousand li, flying above the misty vapours under the sky, to the Southern Ocean.

Where can it be going? Wondered a bird with a laugh, "I once flew into the sky, then come down to enjoy myself among the bushes. That's good enough for me. Where else does it want to go?"

Here we see the difference in outlook between great and small.

寓言小故事英文版3:The mouse

A philosophical mouse spoke loudly in praise of nature's goodness for having made the mice such particular objects of her concern and protection.

"For," she said, "one half of us is provided by her with wings, so that if all here below were killed by cats, she could easily restore our extinguished race by means of the bats."

The good little mouse didn't know that there were also flying cats and thus does our pride chiefly rest on ignorance.

寓言小故事英文版4：Punishing the horse

Since his horse refused to go forward, a traveler in the state of Song drove it into a stream, then mounted to set off again.

Still the horse refused to go, and he punished it once more in the same way.

This happened three times in all. Even the most skilful rider could devise no better means of frightening a horse; but if you are not a rider, simply a bully, your horse will refuse to carry you.
