寓言故事金链子Once upon a time, there was a poor fisherman who always dreamed of becoming rich. He wished to become a millionaire, and so did his wife. He had heard from some old men before, that several ships loaded with diamonds and gold had once sunk in the nearby seashore. Because of this, for a long time he kept searching that whole area for this treasure.
Once upon a time, there was a poor fisherman who always dreamed of becoming rich. He wished to become a millionaire, and so did his wife. He had heard from some old men before, that several ships loaded with diamonds and gold had once sunk in the nearby seashore. Because of this, for a long time he kept searching that whole area for this treasure.
One day, while he was sitting on the boat daydreaming, he suddenly felt that the fishing rod was being weighed down by a heavy object. He excitedly pulled hard at it, and what he saw made him exclaim, "Wow! A big, shiny gold chain!" He pulled hard at the gold chain to get it into the boat, but there seemed to be no end to it. His boat started to get over-loaded and the sea water filled his boat.
However, he had begun dreaming of a big house, a big piece of land and buying horses and cows...He kept pulling in the chain though the boat kept sinking. The boat was finally submerged and he struggled to stay afloat. Unfortunately his feet were entangled in the gold chain and he drowned.
很久以前，有个贫穷的渔夫，总是梦想发财，他希望自己成为百万富翁，他妻子更是如此。他曾听一些老人讲过，过去有几艘载满金银珠宝的船只沉没在这附近的海域里。因此，长期以来，他一直在这一带的海域里搜寻着，希望能打捞到一些金银珠宝。
有一天，他出海捕鱼，当他坐在船上想入非非时，忽然感到钓线被非常沉重的东西拖住了。他一下兴奋起来，使劲地往上拉鱼线，当鱼线拖出水面时，他不禁大声尖叫起来：“哗!金光闪闪的长金链!”他喜出望外，拼命地把金链往船上拖，可是金链很长，似乎没有尽头。由于金链很重，小船严重超载，海水灌进了船内。
然而，他却依旧做着没完没了的黄粱美梦：“我可以买一幢大房子，置一大片稻田，再买下几头牛、几匹马…”尽管小船一直往下沉，他却依然贪心地拖着金链。最后，小船终于沉下去了。他在水中拼命挣扎想游出水面，然而不幸的是，他的双脚被金链缠住了，结果他被淹死了。
什么才是真正的勇气
A father was worried about his son, who was sixteen years old but had no courage at all. So the father decided to call on a Buddhist monk to train his boy.
T he Buddhist monk said to the boy’s father, “You should leave your son alone here. I’ll make him into a real man within three months. However, you can’t come to see him during this period. ”
Three months later, the boy’s father returned. The Buddhist mon k arranged a boxing match between the boy and an experienced boxer. Each time the fighter struck the boy, he fell down, but at once the boy stood up; and each time a punch knocked him down, the boy stood up again. Several times later, the Buddhist monk ask ed, “What do you think of your child?”
“What a shame!” the boy’s father said. “I never thought he would be so easily knocked down. I needn’t have him left here any longer.”
“I’m sorry that that’s all you see. Don’t you see that each time he falls dow n; he stands up again instead of crying? That’s the kind of courage you wanted him to have.”
一位父亲为儿子担心。儿子16岁了，却没有一点勇气。于是，父亲决定去拜访一位禅师，请他训练儿子。
禅师。不过，在这段时间，你不能来见他。”
对男孩的父亲说：“你应该让他单独留在这里。不出3个月，我要让他成为一个真正的男子
汉
3个月后，男孩的父亲又来见禅师。禅师安排这个男孩和一位经验丰富的拳师进行拳击比赛。拳师每次一出手，男孩就倒在地上，但男孩又马上站起来;每次将他击倒，他就又站起来。几个回合后，禅师问道：“你认为自己的孩子怎么样?”
“真丢人!”男孩的父亲说，“我绝没想到他这样不堪一击。我不需要他再留在这里了。”
“很遗憾，你只看到了这一点。难道你没看到他每次倒下后并没有哭泣，而是重新站起来了吗?这才是你想要他拥有的那种勇气。”

英文小故事 I Didn’t Know I Have Been So Rich! There was a young man who was unhappy everyday. He always complained about his poverty and unluckiness. An old neighbour with white hair and white beard saw this and asked him, “Young man, why are you so upset everyday?” The young man answered, “I can’t understand why I am always so poor.” “Are you poor? You are rich, indeed.” The young man was rather confused,“What do you mean? ” The old man asked,“If one of your fingers is cut down, and you will get one thousand yuan from it, are you willing?” “No!” “If one of your hands is cut down, and you will get ten thousand yuan from it, are you willing?” “No!” “If both of your eyes become blind, and you will get one hundred thousand from it, are you willing?” “No!” “If you become an eighty-year-old man who is seriously ill, and you will get one million from it, are you willing?” “No!” “If you die now, and you will get ten million from it, are you willing?” “No!” “That’s it. Since you have already owned as much as ten million, why are you always complaining about being so poor and unlucky?” Hearing this, the young man was shocked and speechless. He finally understood what the old man meant. 原来我也这么富有 有一位青年，老是埋怨自己时运不济，发不了财，终日愁眉不展。他的一位须发皆白的老邻居见状，便问：“年青人，为什么不快乐？” 年青人：“我不明白，为什么我总是这么穷？” 老人由衷地说：“你穷吗？你很富有嘛。” 年青人不解地问：“这从何说起？” 老人反问道：“假如现在砍掉你一个手指，给你一千元，你干不干？” 年青人：“不干。”

适合一年级的英语小故事 【篇一】 渔夫和小鱼 he Fisherman and the little fish There once was a fisherman who lived in a little house by the ocean. He fished every day to feed his family. One day， he caught nothing except one small fish. “This isn‘t much，” thought the fisherman，“but it’s better than nothing.” The little fish hopped around in the net and cried out to the fisherman. “Please return me to the water！” he said. “I‘m too small to be a good dinner. Someday， I’ll be big and fat. You could catch me then and feed your family for a week！” The fisherman listened as the fish spoke. He knew his family would love a big， fat fish. But he also knew that the ocean was very big. If he threw the fish back， he would never find it again. “Little fish，” he said，“I would be a fool to put you back. You‘ll only be a small meal for my family， but at least they will have food. I cannot feed them with silly dreams！” Appreciate the small things that you have. Don’t give them up to chase impossible things. Vocabulary 1. fisherman n. 渔夫 2. hop v. 跳跃
1、T h e T h i r s t y P i g e o n 口渴的鸽子 A PIGEON, oppressed by excessive thirst, saw a goblet of water painted on a signboard. Not supposing it to be only a picture, she flew towards it with a loud whir and unwittingly dashed against the signboard, jarring herself terribly. Having broken her wings by the blow, she fell to the ground, and was caught by one of the bystanders. Zeal should not outrun discretion. 有只鸽子口渴得很难受，看见画板上画着一个水瓶，以为是真的。他立刻呼呼地猛飞过去，不料一头碰撞在画板上，折断了翅膀，摔在地上，被人轻易地捉住了。 这是说，有些人想急于得到所需的东西，一时冲动，草率从事，就会身遭不幸。
2、The Raven and the Swan 乌鸦和天鹅 A RAVEN saw a Swan and desired to secure for himself the same beautiful plumage. Supposing that the Swan's splendid white color arose from his washing in the water in which he swam, the Raven left the altars in the neighborhood where he picked up his living, and took up residence in the lakes and pools. But cleansing his feathers as often as he would, he could not change their color, while through want of food he perished. Change of habit cannot alter Nature. 乌鸦非常羡慕天鹅洁白的羽毛。他猜想天鹅一定是经常洗澡，羽毛才变得如此洁白无瑕。于是，他毅然离开了他赖以生存的祭坛，来到江湖边。他天天洗刷自己的羽毛，不但一点都没洗白，反而因缺少食物饥饿而死。 这故事是说，人的本性不会随着生活方式的改变而改变。
