关于儿童英语故事文章:The Conceited Wagner

Richard Wagner was an undersized little man, with a head too big for his body -- a sickly little man. His nerves were bad. And he had delusions of grandeur.

He was a monster of conceit. Never for one minute did helook at the world or at people, except in relation to himself. He was not only the most important person in the world, to himself; in his own eyes he was the only person who existed. He believed himself to be one of the greatest dramatists in the world, one of the greatest thinkers, and one of the greatest composers. To hearhim talk, he was Shakespeare, and Beethoven, and Plato , rolledinto one. And you would have had no difficulty in hearing himtalk. He was one of the most exhausting conversationalists thatever lived. An evening with him was an evening spent in listeningto amonologue. Sometimes he was brilliant; sometimes he wasmaddeningly tiresome. But whether he was being brilliant ordull, he had one sole topic of conversation:himself. What hethought and what he did.

He had a mania for being in the right. The slightest hint of disagreement, from anyone, on the most trivial point, was enough to set him off on a harangue that might last for hours, inwhich he proved himself right in so many ways, and with suchexhausting volubility, that in the end his hearer, stunned anddeafened, would agree with him, for the sake of peace.

关于儿童英语故事文章:A Beautiful Flower

This happened many summers ago. There was a young flower in a desert where was always dried and sad-looking. It was growing by itself, enjoying everyday and saying to the Sun "When shall I be grown up?" And the Sun would say "Be patient. Each time I touch you, you grow a little." And she was so pleased because she would have a chance to bring beauty to this corner of sand, and this is all she wanted to do-bring a little bit of beauty to this world.

One day, the hunter came by and stepped on her. She was going to die and she felt so sad, not because she was dying, but because she had no chance to bring a little bit of beauty to this corner of the desert.

The Great Spirit saw her and was listening "Indeed" he said "She should be living." And he reached down and touched her and gave her life. And she grew up to be a beautiful flower, and this corner of the desert became so beautiful because of her.

关于儿童英语故事文章:The ploughman,the ass and the ox

A ploughman yoked his ox and his ass together, and set to work to plough his field. It was a poor makeshift of a team, but it was the best he could do, as he had but a single ox, At the end of the day, when the beasts were loosed from the yoke, the ass said to the ox, "Well, we've had a hard day: which of us is to carry the master home?" The ox looked surprised at the question. "Why," said he, "you, to be sure, as usual."

农夫给他的公牛和驴一起套上牛轭,然后赶着它们下地犁田。 这是一个糟糕的临时组合,但农夫已经尽力了,因为他只有一头公牛。干了一天活后,牲口被主人从牛轭里解放出来,驴对牛说:“我们可是度过了艰难的一天,我们两个当中,谁载着主人回家呢?” 听了驴的话,牛似乎很惊讶,“怎么这么问呢,”他说,”当然是你,像往常一样。”

关于儿童英语故事文章:The Story of the Husband and the Parrot

A good man had a beautiful wife, whom he loved passionately1, and never left if possible. One day, when he was obliged by important business to go away from her, he went to a place where all kinds of birds are sold and bought a parrot. This parrot not only spoke2 well, but it had the gift of telling all that had been done before it. He brought it home in a cage, and asked his wife to put it in her room, and take great care of it while he was away. Then he departed. On his return he asked the parrot what had happened during his absence, and the parrot told him some things which made him scold his wife.

She thought that one of her slaves must have been telling tales of her, but they told her it was the parrot, and she resolved to revenge(报仇) herself on him.

When her husband next went away for one day, she told on slave to turn under the bird's cage a hand-mill; another to throw water down from above the cage, and a third to take a mirror and turn it in front of its eyes, from left to right by the light of a candle. The slaves did this for part of the night, and did it very well.

The next day when the husband came back he asked the parrot what he had seen. The bird replied, "My good master, the lightning, thunder and rain disturbed me so much all night long, that I cannot tell you what I have suffered."

The husband, who knew that it had neither rained nor thundered in the night, was convinced that the parrot was not speaking the truth, so he took him out of the cage and threw him so roughly on the ground that he killed him. Nevertheless he was sorry afterwards, for he found that the parrot had spoken the truth.

"When the Greek king," said the fisherman to the genius, "had finished the story of the parrot, he added to the vizir, "And so, vizir, I shall not listen to you, and I shall take care of the physician, in case I repent as the husband did when he had killed the parrot." But thevizir(元首,高官) was determined. "Sire," he replied, "the death of the parrot was nothing. But when it is a question of the life of a king it is better to sacrifice the innocent than save the guilty. It is no uncertain thing, however. The physician, Douban, wishes to assassinate you. My zeal prompts me to disclose this to your Majesty. If I am wrong, I deserve to be punished as a vizir was once punished." "What had the vizir done," said the Greek king, "tomerit(值得) the punishment?" "I will tell your Majesty, if you will do me the honour to listen," answered the vizir."
