The Father and His Son

Father had a family of sons who were perpetually quarrelling among themselves. When he failed to heal their disputes by his exhortations, he determined to give them a practical illustration of the evils of disunion; and for this purpose he one day told them to bring him a bundle of sticks. When they had done so, he placed the faggot into the hands of each of them in succession, and ordered them to break it in pieces. They each tried with all their strength, and were not able to do it.

He next unclosed the faggot, and took the sticks separately, one by one, and again put them into their hands, on which they broke them easily. He then addressed them in these words: "My sons, if you are of one mind, and unite to assist each other, you will be as this faggot, uninjured by all the attempts of your enemies; but if you are divided among yourselves, you will be broken as easily as these sticks."

一位父亲有几个孩子，这些孩子时常发生口角。他丝毫没有办法来劝阻他们，只好让他们看看不合群所带来害处的例子。为了达到这个目的，有一天他叫他们替他拿一捆细柴来。当他们把柴带来时，他便先后地将那捆柴放在每一个孩子的手中，吩咐他们弄断这捆柴。他们一个个尽力去试，总是不能成功。

然后他解开那捆柴，一根根地放在他们手里，如此一来，他们便毫不费力地折断了。于是他就告诉他们说：「孩子们!如果你们大家团结一致，互相帮助，你们就像这捆柴一样，不能被你们的敌人折断;但如果你们自行，你们就将和这些散柴一般，不堪一折了。

熊和狐狸

一只熊在夸耀自己的仁慈，便说道：“所有的动物中，只有熊对人最仁爱，它很敬重人，连人的尸体，也不去碰一下。”

一只狐狸听到这些话，微笑地对熊说：“那就请你吃死人吧，别再生吃活人了。”

话说白雪公主嫁给了王子。从此，他们……过上了……幸福的生活？

事情可不是这样，白雪公主嫁给了王子，却发现——这是个早已策划好的阴谋！原来，王子是白雪公主狠毒的后妈的干儿子！

白雪公主知道这个不为人知的秘密后，大吃一惊。于是，在一个漆黑的夜晚，她带上自己的一大包东西逃跑，没想到却被城堡侍卫给抓住了。这下，白雪公主可有得受了。

首先，她被毒打了一顿，然后“光荣”地成为了城堡中唯一的女仆。每天凌晨3点钟就要起床打扫、做饭，地板要干净得找不到一粒灰尘，要在10分钟内磨完一桶豆浆，每天要挑100担水，还要做饭、给王子王后的宠物洗澡、洗完堆成小山的脏衣服和臭袜子……

没想到，劳动使白雪公主练就了一身好本领。她能拿着扫帚飞起来把城堡上上下下打扫得干干净净，能指挥宠物们自己用沐浴露洗澡，能用一根手指举起1头老母猪，能一刀把鱼的内脏和鱼刺全剔出来，能用手劈开石柱……反正，白雪公主现在是上天入地，无所不能了。

一天，白雪公主给王子与王后送早餐，无意中听到了王子与王后的秘密——害怕淑女的泪水。终于找到他们的弱点了！于是，白雪公主以出去打猎为由，找到了正在做饭的七个小矮人，一齐向城堡进攻。

白雪公主与七个小矮人骑着毛驴，拿着锅子铲子冲进城堡。白雪公主一耳光打翻了所有的侍卫，冲向王子与王后。

白雪公主虽然厉害，但王后的魔法可不是盖的，一下子把这支“军队”打出去好远。这时，白雪公主想起了自己在城堡里所受的委屈和折磨，泪水像喷泉一样涌了出来，邪恶的王子与王后顿时化作一团黑烟，被风吹散了。

王后死了，她对城堡施的魔法也解除了，令人窒息的城堡变回了世外桃源。

白雪公主与七个小矮人这才真正过上了幸福的生活。

In the Song Dynasty (宋朝) there was a joker called Sun Shan (孙山).

宋朝有一个很幽默的人，他叫孙山。

One year he went to take the imperial examination, and came bottom of the list of successfulcandidates.

有一年他去参加考试，公布名单时他是最后一名。

Back in his hometown, one of his neighbor asked him whether the neighbors son had also passed.

回到家，他的邻居向他打听自己的儿子考得怎么样。

Sun Shan said, with a smile:"Sun Shan was the last on the list. Your son came after Sun Shan."

孙山笑着对邻居说：“孙山考了最后一名，你儿子的名字还在孙山的后面呢。”

The people used this idiom to indicate failing in an examination or competition.

人们用“名落孙山”来比喻考试没有考上或者选拔没有被录取。

One day, a colt carried a bag of wheat to the mill.

As he was running with the bag on his back, he came to a small river. Water went gurgling on. The colt could not decide whether he could cross it. Looking around, he saw a cow grazing nearby. He asked, "Uncle Cow, could you tell me if I can cross the river?" the cow told him that he could and that the river was not very deep, just to his knees.

The colt was crossing the river when a squirrel jumped down a tree and stopped him. The squirrel shouted, "Colt, stop! Youll be drowned! One of my friends was drowned yesterday just in the river." Not knowing what to do, the colt went home to consult his mom.

He told his mom his experience on the way. His mother said, "My child, dont always listen to others. Youd better go and try yourself. Then youll know what to do."

Just at the river, the squirrel stopped the colt again. "Little horse, its too dangerous!" "No, I want to have a try by myself", answered the colt. Then he crossed the river carefully. On the other side of the river, the colt realized that the river was neither as shallow as the cow said nor as as deep as the squirrel told him.

The fable tells us a truth: real knowledge comes from practices.

一天， 老马让小马驮着半口袋麦子到磨坊去磨面。

小马驮着口袋朝着磨坊跑去。忽然，一天小河挡住了去路，河水哗哗地流着。小马为难了，怎么办呢?它向四周望了望，看见一头老牛在河边吃草。小马问道：“牛伯伯，请您告诉我，这条河我能趟过去吗?”老牛说：“能。谁很浅，刚没小腿。”

小马听了老牛的话，正准备过河，突然丛树上跳下一只松鼠，拦住它大叫道：“小马，别过河!河水会把你淹死的。昨天，我的一个伙伴就是掉到这条河里淹死的!”小马不知如何是好，决定回家问妈妈。

小马把路上的经历告诉了妈妈。妈妈说：“孩子，光听别人说是不行的，你自己亲自去试一试，就知道答案了。”

小马回到河边，刚要下水，松鼠又大叫起来：“小马，你不要命啦?”小马说：“让我试试吧。”它一面回答一面下了河，小心地趟了过去。原来河水既不像老牛说的那样浅也不像松鼠说的那样深。

这则寓言告诉我们:实践出真知。

As was the common practice with the gods of Olympus,Zeus and Hermes were visiting the world in disguise．One day they came to a village．At a thousand house sthey knocked,and a thousand times they were refused rest and food and drink．At last they arrived at a humble cottage,where the old couple Baucis and her husband Philemon lived．Poor but at peace with world,they made the best of what life could offer them ,and felt truly grateful to the gods above．When the two travellers entered the hut,the old couple were glad with lively happiness．They offered their guests their best seat,and immediately set about preparing dinner for them．With no small difficulty they made fire,brought in a fresh cabbage,cut a fat piece of their long kept meat and put them over the fire to cook．The one single goose they were ready to kill for the visitors,but it was saved at the last minute by the guests．The dining bench was a makeshift ,poor and patched but the best they had．The table was supported by a brick．The feast was quite modest,eggs and wine and cot tage cheese,and a variety of newly pickedfruit．The old couple humbly waited on the visiting guests withsincere looks and eager goodwill．Moved at the hospitality ofthe house,the gods told their true identity．“We are gods”,saidZeus．“While the neigh bour hood pays the penalty for itswickedness you shall be free from misfortune．Coming along with us”．When they were near the top of the hill,Bancis and Phile mon looked back and saw all the village below covered by amarsh ,and that among the general ruin and destruction their old cottage alone survived,changed into a grand temple．At their request they were made the guardians of the sacred place of Zeus．When their span of worldly life came to an end they were turned into an ash and linden,standing side by side in front of the temple．

白雪公主为王子生下了一个女孩，这个女孩和白雪公主一样有着朱砂一样红的嘴唇、洁白如雪的皮肤。不知道的人还以为是白雪公主变成了小女孩呢！于是白雪公主就给她取名小雪。

就这样，一天天过去了，小雪也一天天长大了，她18岁那年，她的父王向全世界发出了招婿帖，并办了一个招婿会。许多王子都慕名而来。但小雪直到招婿会结束时还是没有一个喜欢的人，这使她的父王急得直跺脚。这时，邻国的青蛙国王正巧路过，走到小雪面前说：“孩子，我曾经被魔法变成了一只青蛙，是一个公主亲了我一下，使我变了回来，于是，我们就结婚了，你不妨试一试这方法。”

小雪听了有些不相信，但还是默默地记下了这句话。打算明天就去试一试。

第二天，她一个人悄悄地溜出来，跑到一块沼泽边，在那里，她发现了一只青蛙，和一般的青蛙不一样，它头上戴着一顶小帽子。小雪看了看那只青蛙，深吸一口气，闭上眼，亲了那只青蛙一下。但过了好一会儿，还是什么也没发生。小雪很失望，觉得自己被骗了，只好又偷偷溜回王宫。

第三天，给公主送早餐的女仆来到公主房门前，敲了敲门，但敲了半天也没动静，心想：“奇了怪了，公主这时候早就起床了，怎么这次她还没起床？”忽然，女仆听到了一声青蛙叫，声音是从公主房间里传来的。便立刻推门进去，眼前的情景让她惊呆了。公主的床上只有套睡衣和一只青蛙！这只青蛙是小雪变成的，但她的父王并不知道，他派人把可怜的小雪被赶了出去。

几天后，一块沼泽地里出了大事，蛙王结婚了！新娘就是变成青蛙的小雪，而蛙王竟然是小雪亲过的那只青蛙！这是怎么一回事呢？原来呀，小雪青蛙被赶出来后，到了那块沼泽地，和她亲过的那只青蛙一见钟情，但它们谁也没认出谁来。王子并不一定都是骑着白马从天而降的，有时候，王子会以特别的方式出现，所以说，公主们，静静等待你的王子到来吧！

“太阳底下最光辉的事业”、“人类灵魂的工程师”……不知道有多少人用这样深情的字眼来讴歌教师这一平凡而又伟大的职业!曾经的她也是一样，憧憬着自己手拿粉笔奋起疾书的画面。经过几年的努力，她成了一名优秀的小学英语老师。今天小编就来分享最美英语老师王云的故事,希望读者喜欢。

最美英语老师王云的故事

一、精备每节课

从十四年前踏上讲台的那一刻，她就明白自己的生活就是这样的单调：学校，家，与那灯火柳绿的社会，她始终保持应该有的距离。在她毕业第一年的时候，也是她小学英语起步的第一年，学校给她的就是一本书，别的什么也没有，于是，别人所有的休闲时间，她都用来制作教具，自己动手画课文的插图，寻找一切可以用来辅助教学的工具，当时就有很多人劝她：英语又不是作为主科的，最后也不要考试，你干嘛这么认真，差不多就行了!对于别人的“善意提醒”，她只能抱以一笑，坚持沉浸在自己的“快乐”之中，为了上出一节让学生感兴趣的课，为了让自己的每一节课都达到自己满意的效果，为了那一张张充满期待的小脸和初学英语的热情和喜悦，她所有的辛苦和努力都显得是那么的有价值。

二、争当好老师

在她心目中，希望学生把她当作朋友一样，可以交心的。所以她一直努力营造一种更为和谐的师生关系，无论是生活中，还是学习上，她都乐意为他们排忧解难，她希望每一个在自己课堂上的学生都是“亲其师而信其道”的，她的坚持，从后来到她课堂上听课的老师那儿得来的反馈得到了很好的印证，每一个老师都能感受到她与学生之间的融洽，她在关注学生时的投入与真诚，学生在听时的入神，教师与学生互动的和谐，她觉得这已经成为了一种享受。她常用乐观无私的心态看待自己的职业，她从中发现无尽的快乐，汲取工作的热情，收获成功的喜悦。

刚毕业时所教的四年级学生中，有一个叫陆曼的小女孩，活泼，开朗，特别喜欢学英语，课堂表现特别的棒，王老师一直以为她是一个优秀的学生，后来通过与其他老师还有她家长的交流，才知道，她的语文成绩只有六十几分，数学也好不到哪儿去，王老师就觉得很困惑，这样一个热情向上的小女孩怎么就成了别的老师眼中的“差生”了呢?王老师不能理解，更不能接受，于是总是利用课间的时候找学生聊聊天，终于知道，原来她的语、数成绩不好，是因为她不喜欢语文和数学老师，觉得她们太严厉了，就讨厌学习这两门课程，所以就越学越差。真的，如果只是因为这种原因，让这样一个原本可以很优秀的学生就这样放弃了自己，真是太可惜了。王老师耐心的开导陆曼，告诉她，每一个老师的教学方法有不同，但每一个老师的出发点都是一样的，都是为了学生好，希望他们能够进步，学有所得。这是一个懂事的女孩，通过与科任老师的协调，对于陆曼的点滴进步都予以表扬，很快，陆曼就让王老师看到了出乎意料的效果，最后考上了南京晓庄师范学校。王老师很感动，感动于自己当初的坚持，其实这样的学生她每一年都会遇到，并且她也一如继往的以自己的耐心和爱心去感化，教育他们，希望每一个孩子都成为一朵美丽的花朵，为祖国贡献一份自己的力量。

三、热衷教科研

打铁还需自身硬，她不是一名专业的英语老师，却从此踏上了英语教学的岗位，她知道自己将付出的要比别人多得多，每一个单词，每一篇课文，在教学生之前，都要反反复复的跟录音读很多遍。在教学之余，她能潜心钻研，认真学习教学理念，充实自己，完善自己，积极的撰写教学心得，总结在教学中的一些体会和经验，把实践的教学心得上升到理论的层次和高度，个人的多篇教研论文在省市教学杂志上发表，多篇论文在国家、省、市级评比中获奖，撰写的全镇英语质量分析报告连续3年获得县评比一等奖。此外，还积极参与课题研究，并将课程研究成果运用到日常英语教学中去，先后主持了县十五、十一五、十二五课题研究，均顺利结题。

功夫不负有心人，她的文章陆续发表于各类报刊、杂志，各类评比的荣誉证书接踵而至，指导学生的习作大量发表，自己也成为一名县小学英语教学能手。

四、争做好队友

工作中她都能够坚持发挥自己乐于助人的善良本性，无论是哪一个老师需要帮助，她都会不遗余力的去贡献自己的力量。所以，每一个老师在需要上公开课，或者比赛课，或者是教学中有什么困惑的时候，都喜欢来找她，和她一起探讨，或者请她帮忙出主意，做课件等等，同事们的信任对她来说就是最大的动力，记不清有多少个夜晚为了别人的课，或是别人的课件她熬到深夜，有时候只是为一句话，或是一个字体，一个图片，反反复复的修改，只是为了不辜负别人对她的信赖。看到同事们一个个取得喜人的成绩她也由衷的替她们感到高兴!

付出总有回报，她的努力获得了学校领导，同事，学生，家长的一致认何，这让她感到作为一个教师的无比幸福。她不知道，做一名好老师，究竟有什么样的标准，她只知道努力做一名好老师，并且将一直坚持下去!

善良美丽的白雪公主与王子结婚后生下了一个既可爱又漂亮的小公主。这一天，可恶的王后望镜子问：“魔镜，魔镜，谁是这个世界上最美丽的女人？”魔镜不知思索地对这个王后说：“是白雪公主的女儿。”

王后听了可气晕了，她带着她的黑乌鸦走进了地下室搞阴谋了。王后绞尽脑汁想到了一个办法。这一次她变成了一个样子敦厚老实，看上去很和蔼的乡村阿姨，因为她知道白雪公主章贴了告示，要请一名有经验而且心地善良的农村阿姨给小公主当保姆。

王后一大早就打扮好去城堡里应征了。真没想到，王后既然能斩五关过六将成为最后的后选人。士兵带王后去见白雪公主，白雪公主带着可爱的小公主来见王后，王后见到这个天真可爱的小公主对着她笑嘻嘻的，她心中的邪念完全被这个小孩子给童化了。她伤心的哭了。白雪公主温柔地喊了一声“母后。”原来白雪公主一开始就知道这个人就是王后打扮的。因为白雪公主她有一面“先知镜”。她想让邪恶的王后改邪归正，所以就费了很多心思来感化的王后。王后终于明白：人的心灵美才是这世界上最美丽的东西。

Recently, I was moved by a warming news. A boy from America was loved by a

lot of soldiers. The boys father was a policeman and he was sent to a foreign

country to carry the mission. Unluckily, he got shot and died. The world was sad

for him. This man left his wife and a small boy forever. The lucky thing for the

little boy was that his fathers colleagues decided to protect and love this boy

until he grew up. Love has been continued from this story. For most people, they

are lucky to be loved by parents and friends. While for few people, who have

gone through some disasters, they got care from the public. So no matter what

kind of difficulty we will face, we cant give up hope, because there is always

someone love us.

Human growth is a process of experimentation， trial， and error ultimately leading to wisdom。 Each time you choose to trust yourself and take action， you can never quite be certaion how the situation will turn out。 Sometimes you are victorious， and sometimes you become disillusioned。

The failed experiments， however， are no less valuable than the experiments that ultimately prove successful； in fact， you usually learn more from your perceived "failures" than you do from your perceived "success"。

If you have made what you perceive to be a mistake or failed to live up to your own expectations， you will most likely put up a barrier between your essence and the part of you that is the alleged wrong—doer。 However， perceiving past actions as mistakes implies guilt and blame， and it is not possible to learn anything meaning while you are engaged in blaming。 Therefore， forgiveness is required when you are harshly judging yourself。

Forgiveness is the act of erasing an emotional debt。 There are four kinds of forgiveness。

The first is beginner forgiveness for yourself。

The second of forgiveness is beginner forgiveness for another。

The third kind of forgiveness is advanced forgiveness of yourself。 This is for serious transgressions， the ones you carry with deep shame when you do soimething that violates your own values and ethics， you create a chasm between your standards and your actual behavior。 In such a case， you need to work very hard at forgiving youeself for these deeds so that yo call close this chasm and realign with the best part of yourself。

This does not mean that you should rush to forgive yourselfor not feel regret or remorse； but wallowing in these feelings for a protracted period of time is not healthy， and punishing yourself excessively will only creats a bigger gap between you and your ethics。

The last and perhaps most difficult one is the advanced forgiveness of another。 At some time of our life， you may have been severely wronged or hurt by another person to such a degree that forgiveness seems impossible。 However， harboring resentment and revenge fantasies only keeps you trapped in victim hood。 Under such a circumstance， you should force yourself to see the bigger picture， by so doing， you will be able to shift the focus away from the anger and resentment。

It is only through forgiveness that you can erase wrongdoing and clean the memory。 when you can finally release the situation， you may come to see it as a necessary part of your growth。

Bob Richards, the former pole-vault champion, shares a moving story about a skinny young boy who loved football with all his heart.

Practice after practice, he eagerly gave everything he had. But being half the size of the other boys, he got absolutely nowhere. At all the games, this hopeful athlete sat on the bench and hardly ever played.

This teenager lived alone with his father, and the two of them had a very special relationship. Even though the son was always On the bench, his father was always in the stands cheering. He never missed a game. This young man was still the smallest of the class when he entered high school. But his father continued to encourage him but also made it very clear that he did not have to play football if he didn‘t want to.

But the young man loved football and decided to hang in there He was determined to try his best at every practice, and perhaps he‘d get to play when he became a senior. All through high school he never missed a practice nor a game but remained a bench-warmer all four years. His faithful father was always in the stands, always with words of encouragement for him. When the young man went to college, he decided to try out for the football team as a "walk-on." Everyone was sure he could never make the cut, but he did.

The coach admitted that he kept him on the roster because he always puts his heart and soul to every practice, and at the same time, provided the other members with the spirit and hustle they badly needed.

The news that he had survived the cut thrilled him so much that he rushed to the nearest phone and called his father. His father shared his excitement and was sent season tickets for all the college games. This persistent young athlete never missed practice during his four years at college, but he never got to play in a game.

It was the end of his senior football season, and as he trotted onto the practice field shortly before the big playoff game, the coach met him with a telegram. The young man read the telegram and he became deathly silent. Swallowing hard, he mumbled to the coach, "My father died this morning. Is it all right if I miss practice today?" The coach put his arm gently around his shoulder and said, "Take the rest of the week off, son. And don‘t even plan to come back to the game on Saturday."

Saturday arrived, and the game was not going well. In the third quarter,when the team was ten points behind, a silent young man quietly slipped into the empty locker room and put on his football gear. As he ran onto the sidelines, the coach and his players were astounded to see their faithful teammate back so soon. "Coach, please let me play. I‘ve just got to play today," said the young man. The coach pretended not to hear him. There was no way he wanted his worst player in this close playoff game. But the young man persisted, and finally feeling sorry for the kid, the coach gave in. "All right," he said."You can go in." Before long, the coach, the players and everyone in the stands could not believe their eyes. This little unknown, who had never played before was doing everything right. The opposing team could not stop him. He ran, he passed, blocked, and tackled like a star. His team began to triumph. The score was soon tied. In the closing seconds of the game, this kid intercepted a pass and ran all the way for the winning touchdown. The fans broke loose. His teammates hoisted him onto their shoulders. Such cheering you never heard.

Finally, after the stands had emptied and the team had showered and left the locker room, the coach noticed that this young man was sitting quietly in the corner all alone The coach came to him and said, " Kid, I can‘t believe it. You were fantastic! Tell me what got into you? How did you do it?"

He looked at the coach, with tears in his eyes, and said, "Well, you knew my dad died, but did you know that my dad was blind?" The young man swallowed hard and forced a smile, "Dad came to all my games, but today was the first time he could see me play, and I wanted to show him I could do it!"

Like the athlete‘s father, God is always there cheering for us. He‘s always reminding us to go on. He‘s even offering us His hand for He knows what is best, and is willing to give us what we need and not simply what we want. GOD has never missed a single game. What a joy to know that life is meaningful if lived for the Highest. Live for HIM for He‘s watching us in the game of life!

Story 5 Look at the Sky from the Bottom of a Well

There is a frog. He lives in a well and he never goes out of the well. He thinks the sky is as big as the mouth of the well.

One day a crow comes to the well. He sees the frog and says, “Frog, let’s have a talk.” Then the frog asks, “Where are you from?” “I fly from the sky,” the crow says. The frog feels surprised and says, “The sky is only as big as the mouth of the well. How do you fly from the sky?”

The crow says, “The sky is very big. You always stay in the well, so you don’t know the world is big.”

The frog says, “I don’t believe.” But the crow says, “You can come out and have a look by yourself.”

So the frog comes out from the well. He is very surprised. How big the world is!

导语：根据中国的历法，农历八月在秋季中间，为秋季的第二个月，称为“仲秋”，而八月十五又在“仲秋”之中，所以称“中秋”。下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的优秀英语作文，欢迎阅读与借鉴，谢谢!

the mid-autumn festival has all interesting history. long ago in one of the dynasties of china there was a king who was very cruel to the people and did not manage the country well. the people were so angry that some brave ones suggested killing the king. so they wrote notes telling about the meeting place and time and put them into cakes. on the 15th day of the 8th luna month every person was told to buy the cakes. when they ate them they discovered the notes. so they gathered together to make a sudden attack on the king. from then on the chinese people celebrate on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month and eat "moon cakes" in memory of that important event.

when the mid-autumn festival is near, shop windows are beautifully decorated. many "moon cakes" are displayed for people to buy. peopl send presents such aswine, fruits and "moon cakes" to their friends and relatives. in the evening of the day, they have a feast. after the feast, they go out to the garden to look at the moon. the children run and laugh on the streets.

it is believed that the moon is at her brightest on this night. many poems have been written about it, and poets are never tired of reading and writing such poems. in chinese literature, the moon of the mid autumn festival has been compared to a looking-glass, a jade rabbit, and so on. it seems that chinese literature takes far more interest in the moon than in the sun.

【参考译文】

中秋节有着有趣的历史。很久以前在一个朝代的中国有一个国王谁是非常残忍的人，并没有管理好国家。人们非常愤怒，一些勇敢的人建议杀死国王。所以他们写了关于会议地点和时间的笔记，并把它们放进蛋糕里。在第八个月的第十五天每个人都被告知买蛋糕。当他们吃他们发现的笔记。于是他们聚集在一起，突然袭击王。从此，中国人在第八个月的第十五天庆祝“吃月饼”，纪念这一重大事件。

中秋节临近时，商店的橱窗装饰得很漂亮。许多“月饼”展示给人们购买。人们发出了这样aswine，水果和“月饼”给他们的朋友和亲戚。在一天的晚上，他们有一个盛宴。宴会结束后，他们到花园去看月亮。孩子们在街上奔跑和欢笑。

人们相信月亮在她最明亮的夜晚。许多诗都是这样写的，诗人从不厌倦读和写这样的诗。在中国文学中，中秋节的月亮被比作一只玻璃，一只玉兔，等等。看来中国文学对月球的兴趣远远超过太阳。

雄鹰

A boy found an eagles egg and he put it in the nest of a prairie chicken. The eagle hatched and thought he was a chicken. He grew up doing what prairie chicken do-scratching at the dirt for food and flying short distances with a noisy fluttering of wings. It was a dreary life. Gradually the eagle grew older and bitter. One day he and his prairie chicken friend saw a beautiful bird soaring on the currents of air, high above the mountains.

"Oh, I wish I could fly like that!" said the eagle. The chicken replied, "Dont give it another thought. Thats the mighty eagle, the king of all birds-you could never be like him!" And the eagle didnt give it another thought. He went on cackling and complaining about life. He died thinking he was a prairie chicken. My friends, you too were born an eagle. The Creator intended you to be an eagle, so don’t listen to the prairie chickens!

一个小男孩发现了一只老鹰下的蛋，把它放进了一只山鸡的窝里。鹰被孵出来了，但他以为自己是一只山鸡。渐渐的他长大了，却做着山鸡所做的事---从泥土里寻找食物，做短距离的飞翔，翅膀还啪啪作响。生活非常沉闷，渐渐地鹰长大了，也越来越苦恼。有一天，他和他的山鸡朋友看见一只美丽的鸟在天空翱翔，飞的比山还高。

“哦，我要能飞的那么高该多好啊！”鹰说。山鸡回答说，“不要想了，那是凶猛无比的鹰，鸟中之王---你不可能像他一样！”于是鹰放弃了那个念头。他继续咯咯地叫，不停的抱怨生活。最后他死了，依然认为自己是一只山鸡。朋友们，你们天生就是雄鹰。造物主有意把你造就成一只雄鹰，所以不要听信山鸡的话！

真实的事情是这样的：城里有一位漂亮的公主，皮肤雪白，她的妈妈就给她取名白雪公主。她认为自己是世界上最美丽的姑娘。

幸福没多久，白雪公主的母亲去世了，国王又娶了一位王后给她当继母，这位王后不仅美丽而且很善良，对白雪公主非常好，国王经常夸她貌美如花又温柔善良。白雪公主听了这话火冒三丈，恨透了这个继母。

继母不在国王身边的时候，她就去和国王说继母的坏话，她给国王看她腿上的伤疤，说是继母故意把她推下楼梯，其实这是她下楼时不小心摔的。又说继母嫉妒她皮肤雪白，故意把她的脸刮伤，其实那是她自己去海边玩，晒伤的。她一次又一次在国王面前说着继母的坏话，终于有一天，国王相信了，把王后关进了监狱，再也不放她出来了。

善良的王后被冤枉了，在好心看守的帮助下，王后逃出了监狱，跑回了自己的祖国，当王后的父亲听说了女儿的遭遇，立刻派兵攻打白雪公主的国家，要为女儿讨回公道。

军队还没打进城，白雪公主听说继母不但没死，还带兵来攻打他们的国家，就被气死了。

The Christmas Tree——圣诞树的故事

Although it is generally agreed that the Christmas tree in its current form came from Germany in the early 19th century, the tradition of decorating a tree to mark winter celebrations dates back hundreds of years to Roman times, when they used to decorate evergreen trees with small pieces of metal to celebrate Saturnalia.

In medieval times the Paradise Play was performed every year on 24 December. This depicted the creation of Man and the fall of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden and always included an evergreen hung with apples which represented the apple tree of temptation.

There is a legend that St Boniface, an English monk, came upon a group of pagans gathered around an oak tree who were preparing to sacrifice a child to the God Thor. In order to stop the sacrifice, and save the childs life, St Boniface is said to have felled the tree with one blow of his fist. Later on, a fir tree grew in place of the oak and this, St Boniface told the pagans, was the Tree of Life and represented the Christ Child.

Legend also suggests that, in the late 16th century, Martin Luther (the founder of the Protestant religion) was the first to decorate an indoor tree with candles when he attempted to recreate the stars shining over a forest of evergreens.

The first mention of decorated trees being taken indoors came in 1605 in Germany - a country with a long Christmas tree history! The trees were initially decorated with fruit and sweets together with hand made objects such as quilled snowflakes and stars. German Christmas Markets began to sell shaped gingerbreads and wax ornaments which people bought as souvenirs of the fair and took home to hang on their tree.

Tinsel was also invented in Germany in about 1610. Up until fairly recently real silver was used, which was pulled into wafer thin strips by special machines. This was durable but tarnished quickly and many experiments took place to try and find an alternative - including a mix of lead and tin, which was too heavy and kept breaking. It was only in the mid 20th century that a viable alternative was found.

Artificial trees were invented in the 1880s in a bid to try and stop some of the damage being caused to real trees due to people lopping the tip off large trees, thus preventing the trees from growing any further. It got so bad in Germany that laws had to be brought in to prevent people having more than one tree.

Prince Albert, husband of Queen Victoria, is credited with being responsible for introducing the custom of the Christmas tree to the British public by decorating the first English Christmas tree at Windsor Castle in 1841 using candles, sweets, fruit and gingerbread.

The popularity of the Christmas tree grew in Britain during the first half of the 20th century, with trees becoming bigger and more elaborately decorated with bells, baubles and tinsel. However, the onset of the Second World War resulted in a ban on cutting down trees for decoration and people resorted to having small, artificial tabletop trees bearing home made decorations. These were often taken down into the air raid shelters when the sirens sounded to provide a bit of Christmas cheer!

This all changed following the war, and large trees were erected in many public places to celebrate Christmas. The most famous of these is the tree in Trafalgar Square, London which is an annual gift from the Norwegian government to give thanks for the help they received from Britain during the war.

导读：哲理小故事能够引起小朋友们的兴趣，在看故事的同时也能从中学习到一些人生哲理，在外国也有许多的哲理小故事，下面小编为大家整理了一些短篇英语哲理小故事，希望大家能够喜欢。

一、THRIFT 节俭

There is not a (no) thrifty man but becomes a rich man sooner or later. Why? Because he will not spend such money as is unnecessary. Little by little his money will accumulate. Ten to one, he is bound to make a fortune.

I do not like such men as spend their money in a wrong way. They do not know extravagance is a bad thing. It can only make them happy for the time being. In short, thrift makes poor men rich and extravagance makes rich men poor.

一个没有一个节俭的人迟早不成为一个富翁。为什么？因为他决不花像那种不必要的钱。渐渐他的钱就会聚积起来。十之八九，他一定会发财的。

我不喜欢那种乱花钱的人。他们不知道奢侈是一件坏事。它只能够使他们暂时快乐而已。总而言之，节俭使穷人变富，奢侈使富人变穷。

二、PERSEVERANCE 毅力／坚忍

Needless to say, nothing but perseverance can lead a man to the way of success. In other words, a persevering man never does his work without succeeding in it. This is indeed unchangeable truth.

Our National Father, Dr.  , is the most ideal example. He was devoted to the revolution about forty years. He met with many failures, but he was anything but discouraged. As a result, he won. The Republic of China was born.

不需说，只有毅力才能引导人迈向成功之途。换句话说，一个具有毅力的人做工作终是(never...without)会把它做成功的。这真是不易之定理也。

我们国父是一个最理想的例了.致力国民革命凡四十年。他遭遇到许多次的失败，但是他决不灰心。结果，他赢了。诞生了。

三、WHERE THERE IS A WILL, THERE IS A WAY 有志者事竟成

The secret of success (The key to success) is not so much money as a strong will. A great man is one who has a strong will and an indomitable spirit. In other words, if a man does not have a strong will to win (get) the final victory, he will never succeed in his life. He is no more than a failure.

It is quite obvious that there is no difficult thing (nothing difficult) in the world. if you make up your mind to do it, you will certainly accomplish your end. That stands to reason.

成功的要诀不是金钱而是一个坚强的意志（用not so mush... as）。一个大人物是一个具有坚强意志和不屈不挠精神的人。换句话说，如果一个人没有坚强意志去获得最后胜利的人，他终其一生永远不会成功。他只不过是（用no more than）一个失败者。

很显明的世界上并没有难事。如果你下定决心去做它，你一定会达到目的。那是显而易见的。

四、Whale 鲸鱼

A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales.

The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though it was a very large mammal its throat was very small.

The little girl stated that a whale swallowed Jonah.

Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human; it was physically impossible.

The little girl said,“When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah.”

The teacher asked,“What if Jonah went to hell?”

The little girl replied,“Then you ask him.”

一个小女孩和她的老师正在谈论有关鲸鱼的事情。

她的老师说：“一头鲸鱼从身体构造的角度看，是不可能吞掉一个人的。因为尽管鲸鱼是一种非常巨大的哺乳动物，可它的嗓子非常小。”

那个小女孩说：“约拿(一位西伯来先知)就是被鲸鱼吞掉的。”

她的老师非常生气，她再次告诉小女孩说：“从身体构造角度来讲，鲸鱼是不可能吞掉一个人的。”

那个小女孩说：“那等我到了天堂，就去问问约拿。”

她的老师问：“那么，假如约拿下了地狱怎么办?”

那个小女孩回答：“如果是那样的话，你就去问他。”

The park bench was deserted as I sat down to read Beneath the long, straggly branches of an old willow tree. Disillusioned by life with good reason to frown, For the world was intent on dragging me down.

And if that weren‘t enough to ruin my day, A young boy out of breath approached me, all tired from play. He stood right before me with his head tilted down And said with great excitement, "Look what I found!"

In his hand was a flower, and what a pitiful sight, With its petals all worn - not enough rain, or too little light. Wanting him to take his dead flower and go off to play, I faked a small smile and then shifted away.

But instead of retreating he sat next to my side and placed the flower to his nose and declared with surprise, "It sure smells pretty and it‘s beautiful, too. That‘s why I picked it; here, it‘s for you."

The weed before me was dying or dead. Not vibrant of colors, orange, yellow or red. But I knew I must take it, or he might never leave. So I reached for the flower, and replied, "Just what I need."

But instead of him placing the flower in my hand, He held it mid-air without reason or plan. It was then that I noticed for the very first time, that weed-toting boy could not see: he was blind.

I heard my voice quiver, tears shone like the sun. As I thanked him for picking the very best one. "You‘re welcome," he smiled, and then ran off to play, Unaware of the impact he‘d had on my day.

I sat there and wondered how he managed to see a self-pitying woman beneath an old willow tree. How did he know of my self-indulged plight? Perhaps from his heart, he‘d been blessed with true sight.

Through the eyes of a blind child, at last I could see, the problem was not with the world; the problem was me. And for all of those times I myself had been blind, I vowed to see beauty, and appreciate every second that‘s mine.

And then I held that wilted flower up to my nose and breathed in the fragrance of a beautiful rose And smiled as that young boy, another weed in his hand About to change the life of an unsuspecting old man.
