Wise Folks
One day a peasant took his good hazel-stick out of the corner and said to his wife, "Trina, I am going across country, and shall not return for three days. If during that time the cattle-dealer should happen to call and want to buy our three cows, you may strike a bargain at once, but not unless you can get two hundred thalers for them; nothing less, do you hear?" "For heaven's sake just go in peace," answered the woman, "I will manage that." "You, indeed," said the man. "You once fell on your head when you were a little child, and that affects you even now; but let me tell you this, if you do anything foolish, I will make your back black and blue, and not with paint, I assure you, but with the stick which I have in my hand, and the colouring shall last a whole year, you may rely on that." And having said that, the man went on his way.
Next morning the cattle-dealer came, and the woman had no need to say many words to him. When he had seen the cows and heard the price, he said, "I am quite willing to give that, honestly speaking, they are worth it. I will take the beasts away with me at once." He unfastened their chains and drove them out of the byre, but just as he was going out of the yard-door, the woman clutched him by the sleeve and said, "You must give me the two hundred thalers now, or I cannot let the cows go."
"True," answered the man, "but I have forgotten to buckle on my money-belt. Have no fear, however, you shall have security for my paying. I will take two cows with me and leave one, and then you will have a good pledge."
The woman saw the force of this, and let the man go away with the cows, and thought to herself, "How pleased Hans will be when he finds how cleverly I have managed it!" The peasant came home on the third day as he had said he would, and at once inquired if the cows were sold? "Yes, indeed, dear Hans," answered the woman, "and as you said, for two hundred thalers. They are scarcely worth so much, but the man took them without making any objection." "Where is the money?" asked the peasant. "Oh, I have not got the money," replied the woman; "he had happened to forget his money-belt, but he will soon bring it, and he left good security behind him." "What kind of security?" asked the man. "One of the three cows, which he shall not have until he has paid for the other two. I have managed very cunningly, for I have kept the smallest, which eats the least." The man was enraged and lifted up his stick, and was just going to give her the beating he had promised her.
Suddenly he let the stick fail and said, "You are the stupidest goose that ever waddled on God's earth, but I am sorry for you. I will go out
into the highways and wait for three days to see if I find anyone who is still stupider than you. If I succeed in doing so, you shall go scot-free, but if I do not find him, you shall receive your well-deserved reward without any discount."
He went out into the great highways, sat down on a stone, and waited for what would happen. Then he saw a peasant's waggon coming towards him, and a woman was standing upright in the middle of it, instead of sitting on the bundle of straw which was lying beside her, or walking near the oxen and leading them. The man thought to himself, "That is certainly one of the kind I am in search of," and jumped up and ran backwards and forwards in front of the waggon like one who is not very wise. "What do you want, my friend?" said the woman to him; "I don't know you, where do you come from?" "I have fallen down from heaven," replied the man, "and don't know how to get back again, couldn't you drive me up?" "No," said the woman, "I don't know the way, but if you come from heaven you can surely tell me how my husband, who has been there these three years is. You must have seen him?" "Oh, yes, I have seen him, but all men can't get on well. He keeps sheep, and the sheep give him a great deal to do.
They run up the mountains and lose their way in the wilderness, and
he has to run after them and drive them together again. His clothes are all torn to pieces too, and will soon fall off his body. There is no tailor there, for Saint Peter won't let any of them in, as you know by the story." "Who would have thought it?" cried the woman, "I tell you what, I will fetch his Sunday coat which is still hanging at home in the cupboard, he can wear that and look respectable. You will be so kind as to take it with you." "That won't do very well," answered the peasant; "people are not allowed to take clothes into Heaven, they are taken away from one at the gate." "Then hark you," said the woman, "I sold my fine wheat yesterday and got a good lot of money for it, I will send that to him. If you hide the purse in your pocket, no one will know that you have it." "If you can't manage it any other way," said the peasant, "I will do you that favor." "Just sit still where you are," said she, "and I will drive home and fetch the purse, I shall soon be back again. I do not sit down on the bundle of straw, but stand up in the waggon, because it makes it lighter for the cattle." She drove her oxen away, and the peasant thought, "That woman has a perfect talent for folly, if she really brings the money, my wife may think herself fortunate, for she will get no beating." It was not long before she came in a great hurry with the money, and with her own hands put it in his pocket. Before she went away, she thanked him again a thousand times for his courtesy.
When the woman got home again, she found her son who had come in from the field. She told him what unlooked-for things had befallen her, and then added, "I am truly delighted at having found an opportunity of sending something to my poor husband. Who would ever have imagined that he could be suffering for want of anything up in heaven?"
The son was full of astonishment. "Mother," said he, "it is not every day that a man comes from Heaven in this way, I will go out immediately, and see if he is still to be found; he must tell me what it is like up there, and how the work is done." He saddled the horse and rode off with all speed. He found the peasant who was sitting under a willow-tree, and was just going to count the money in the purse. "Have you seen the man who has fallen down from Heaven?" cried the youth to him. "Yes," answered the peasant, "he has set out on his way back there, and has gone up that hill, from whence it will be rather nearer; you could still catch him up, if you were to ride fast." "Alas," said the youth, "I have been doing tiring work all day, and the ride here has completely worn me out; you know the man, be so kind as to get on my horse, and go and persuade him to come here." "Aha!" thought the peasant, "here is another who has no wick in his lamp!" "Why should I not do you this favor?" said he, and mounted the horse and rode off in a quick trot.
The youth remained sitting there till night fell, but the peasant never came back. "The man from Heaven must certainly have been in a great hurry, and would not turn back," thought he, "and the peasant has no doubt given him the horse to take to my father." He went home and told his mother what had happened, and that he had sent his father the horse so that he might not have to be always running about. "Thou hast done well," answered she, "thy legs are younger than his, and thou canst go on foot."
When the peasant got home, he put the horse in the stable beside the cow which he had as a pledge, and then went to his wife and said, "Trina, as your luck would have it, I have found two who are still sillier fools than you; this time you escape without a beating, I will store it up for another occasion." Then he lighted his pipe, sat down in his grandfather's chair, and said, "It was a good stroke of business to get a sleek horse and a great purse full of money into the bargain, for two lean cows. If stupidity always brought in as much as that, I would be quite willing to hold it in honor." So thought the peasant, but you no doubt prefer the simple folks.
One Story about Snakes
There was once a little child whose mother gave her every afternoon a small bowl of milk and bread, and the child seated herself in the yard
with it. When she began to eat however, a snake came creeping out of a crevice（裂缝）in the wall, dipped its little head in the dish, and ate with her. The child had pleasure in this, and when she was sitting there with her little dish and the snake did not come at once, she cried,
"Snake, snake, come swiftly
Hither come, thou tiny thing,
Thou shalt have thy crumbs of bread,
Thou shalt refresh thyself with milk."
Then the snake came in haste, and enjoyed its food. Moreover it showed gratitude, for it brought the child all kinds of pretty things from its hidden treasures, bright stones, pearls, and golden playthings. The snake, however, only drank the milk, and left the bread-crumbs alone. Then one day the child took its little spoon and struck the snake gently on its head with it, and said, "Eat the bread-crumbs as well, little thing." The mother, who was standing in the kitchen, heard the child talking to someone, and when she saw that she was striking a snake with her spoon, ran out with a log of wood, and killed the good little creature.
From that time forth, a change came over the child. As long as the snake had eaten with her, she had grown tall and strong, but now she lost her
pretty rosy cheeks and wasted away. It was not long before the funeral bird began to cry in the night, and the redbreast（知更鸟）to collect little branches and leaves for a funeral garland（花环）, and soon afterwards the child lay on her bier.

关于动物的四字成语故事典故大全 在汉学成语中不难发现有很多关于动物的成语，每一种动物都有其独特的性情，而他们所拥有的品格有很多值得人们学习的地方。 以下集锦了一些关于动物的成语故事典故，在很多动物成语中我们不但能够更加深入地了解动物的习性，而且还能从中领悟到一些做人的大道理。 《亡羊补牢》典故一 从前，有个人养了一圈羊。一天早晨，他发现少了一只羊，仔细一查，原来羊圈破了个窟窿，夜里狼钻进来把羊叼走了一只。邻居劝他说：“赶快把羊圈修修，把窟窿堵上吧！”那个人不肯接受劝告，说：“羊已经丢了，还修羊圈干什么？”第二天早上，他发现羊又少了一只。 原来，狼又从窟窿钻了进来，又叼走了一只羊。他很后悔自己没听从邻居的劝告，便赶快堵上窟窿，修好了羊圈。从此，狼再也不能钻进羊圈叼羊了。 《守株待兔》典故二 战国时代的思想家韩非子，阐述君王治理人民要合时宜，来建立适当的政策与设施。不可一味地遵循古法，认为古代圣人的政策就是好的，而不管适不适合当前社会。他举了一个例子来说明这个道理：宋国有个农夫，有天在耕作时，看见一只兔子跑过来。那只兔子可能太惊慌了，没注意前方，就撞上一棵树，把脖子撞断死了，农夫便不劳而获地得到那只兔子。 他想以后如果都能够这样得到兔子，就不需要再辛苦耕作了。于是扔掉手中的耕具，天天守在树旁等兔子送上门来。结果从此以后再也没得到任何一只兔子，反而让自己成为全宋国的笑柄。
所以，用旧法来治理国家，就像这个守兔之人，根本会徒劳无功。后来这个故事被浓缩成「守株待兔」，用来比喻拘泥守成，也用来比 喻妄想不劳而获，或等着目标自己送上门来。 《为虎作伥》典故三 从前，在某一个地方的一个山洞里，住着一只凶猛无比的老虎。 有一天，它因为没有食物充饥，觉得非常难过。于是，它走出山洞， 到附近的山野里去猎取食物。 正在这时候，老虎看到山腰的不远处有一个人正蹒珊地走来，便 猛扑过去，把那个人咬死，把他的肉吃光。但是老虎还不满足，它抓 住那个人的鬼魂不放，非让它再找一个人供它享用不可，不然，它就 不让那人的鬼魂获得自由。那个被老虎捉住的鬼魂居然同意了。 于是，他就给老虎当向导，找呀找的，终于遇到第二个人了。这时，那个鬼魂为了自己早日得到解脱，竟然协助老虎行凶。他先过去 迷惑新遇到的人，然后把那人的带子解开，衣服脱掉，好让老虎吃起 来更方便。这个协助老虎吃人的鬼魂，便叫做伥鬼。后人根据这个传说，把协助坏人做伤天害理的事情，称“为虎作伥”。出处《正字通·听雨记谈》 《叶公好龙》典故四 春秋时期，有个楚国人沈诸梁，字子高，是叶地县尹，所以自称 叶公，大家都叫他“叶公子高”。叶公喜欢龙的癖好名扬四方。他不 但在身上的佩剑、凿刀上雕着龙，家里的门窗梁柱上也刻着龙，就连 墙上都绘着龙的图案。天界的天龙知道人间有这样一个好龙成癖的人，十分感动，决定要下凡来走一趟，向叶公表示谢意。 于是叶公好龙的故事就这样发生了。一天，叶公正在家中午睡， 一时间忽然风雨大作，电闪雷鸣。梦中的叶公被惊醒了。他急忙起来 关窗户，没想到天龙从窗户外探进头来，吓得叶公魂飞魄散。当他转 身逃进堂屋，又看见一条硕大无比的龙尾横在面前。

1、A Christmas Gift 圣诞礼物 A guy bought his wife a beautiful diamond ring for Christmas. 圣诞节来了，一位先生给他太太送的圣诞礼物是一个非常漂亮的钻石戒子。 After hearing about this extravagant gift, a friend of his said, "I thought she wanted one of those sporty four-wheel-drive vehicles." 他朋友听到他买这么奢侈的礼物后，说到：“她不是想要辆四驱车吗”。 "She did," he replied. "But where was I going to find a fake Jeep?" 先生答：“是啊，(可以买到假钻石)，可去哪里能买一辆假吉普车呢?” 2、Entering Heaven 进天堂 Three men died on Christmas Eve and were met by Saint Peter at the pearly gates. 三名男子都死于平安夜，而后分别在天堂之门被圣彼得召见。 "In honor of this holy season," Saint Peter said, "You must each possess something that symbolizes Christmas to get into heaven." 圣彼得说：“因为这个神圣的节日，你们每个人都必须有象征圣诞节的物品才能进入天堂”。 The first man fumbled through his pockets and pulled out a lighter.

He shook them and said, "They're bells." Saint Peter said, "You may pass through the pearly gates." 第二个男子从口袋里掏出一串钥匙，他把钥匙在手里摇了摇说：“它们是铃铛”圣诞老人也让他上了天堂。 The third man started searching desperately through his pockets and finally pulled out a pair of women's glasses. 第三个男子绝望的在口袋里掏了半天，最后掏出了一副女人的眼镜。 St. Peter looked at the man with a raised eyebrow and asked,

简短的幼儿成语故事八篇 在教育的道路上一刻都不能松缓，孩子们的潜能是要开发的，以下是小编整理的简短的幼儿成语故事，欢迎阅读！ 成语一《杞人忧天》 从前在杞国，有一个胆子很小，而且有点神经质的人，他常会想到一些奇怪的问题，而让人觉得莫名其妙。有一天，他吃过晚饭以后，拿了一把大蒲扇，坐在门前程量，并且自言自语的说：“假如有一天，天塌了下来，那该怎么办呢？我们岂不是无路可逃，而将活活地被压死，这不就太冤枉了吗？” 从此以后，他几乎每天为这个问题发愁、烦恼，朋友见他终日精神恍惚，脸色憔悴，都很替他担心，但是，当大家知道原因后，都跑来劝他说：“老兄啊！你何必为这件事自寻烦恼呢？天空怎么会塌下来呢？在说即使真的塌下来，那也不是你一个人忧虑发愁就可以解决的啊，想开点吧！” 可是，无论人家怎么说，他都不相信，仍然时常为这个不必要的问题担忧。后来的人就根据上面这个故事，引伸成“杞人忧天”这句成语，它的主要意义在唤醒人们不要为一些不切实际的事情而忧愁。它与“庸人自扰”的意义大致相同。 成语二《万死不辞》
出处：《三国演义》第八回蝉曰：“近见大人两眉愁锁，必有国家大事，又不敢问。今晚又见行坐不安，因此兴叹，不想为大人窥见。倘有用妾之处，万死不辞！” 释义：意思是虽然有一万次死也不推辞，表示愿意拼死效劳。 故事：在东汉末年，朝政的大权落在了董卓的手上。董卓这个人骄横跋扈，出入宫廷敢用皇帝的仪仗，并让弟弟、侄儿统率禁军，把董氏宗族的人不论老小一律封为列侯。他还征二十五万民夫为自己修筑宫室，又从民间选来八百美女，纳入宫内。 成语三《安居乐业》 春秋时，有一位着名的哲学家和思想家，他姓李，名耳，字老聃。 老子对当时的社会不满，并反对当时政治革新，他怀念着远古的社会，认为社会的发展给人们带来了痛苦。他的理想社会是“小国寡民”的社会。他的“小国寡民”社会大概的样子是： 国家小，人民又少。即使有很多的工具，人们也不去用它。不让人民用去冒险，也不向远处迁移，即使有车辆和船只，也无人去乘坐；即使有兵器装备，也无处去使用。要使人民重新使用古代结绳记事的方法，吃得很香甜，穿得很舒服，住得很安适，满足于原有的风俗习惯。邻近各国互相望
