小学生英语寓言故事：蚂蚁和鸽子（热门20篇）

蚂蚁是一种我们很常见的动物，花盆下、土地里、草地上……随处可以见到它们的身影。

蚂蚁的身体分为头、胸、腹三部分,三对足集中在胸部,一对天线似的触角长在头上。蚂蚁身体颜色各种各样，有的全身黑，有的腹部黄……

蚂蚁最显著的特征是它的大颚。如果遇到比较轻的食物，它就用大颚把食物夹住，然后飞快地跑回蚁巢。如果遇到比较重的食物，蚂蚁就会动用另一种“武器”—触角。它先用触角与周围的蚂蚁交流，好像在说：“嗨！伙计，叫大家过来帮把手。”没过多久，一大群蚂蚁就浩浩荡荡地排着队走了过来，齐心协力把食物搬走。我观察的时候发现，蚂蚁用触角与别人交流时，触角的活动各不相同，有时扭来扭去，有时持续很长时间，有时碰一下就分开，我想：这会不会是传递不同的讯号呢？我还观察到蚂蚁走路的样子，它先抬起一边的三条足，再抬起另一边的三条足。

你是否观察过蚂蚁成群结队走路时的样子，它们为什么排得那么笔直、整齐呢？原来蚂蚁的腹部会分泌一种“信息素”，如果我们有手划过蚂蚁的“行军”路线，就会破坏“信息素”，使后面的蚂蚁乱作一团，前面的蚂蚁也会因此而找不到家。

蚂蚁是一种团结的动物，我要学习蚂蚁的这种精神。

Freedom is an important right of people. It usually refers that you can do

want you want and live the life you want. Of course, it must be on the basis

that you can’t affect others’ freedom. Otherwise, it does not belong to your

freedom anymore. In my opinion, freedom is not you can do whatever you want, but

you don’t have to do what you don’t want to. We live in the same society, which

there are many rules constraining our behaviors. Therefore, we can’t do whatever

we want. But we are not forced to do what we don’t want to is freedom.

在我的成长记忆中，有许多让我难忘的事，可是最难忘的还是我第一次战胜黑暗的经历：

还记得那是在我7岁时的一天，妈妈因为有要事急于出去，并且不能把我带在身边。所以她决定留我一个人在家里。要是在往常我早已哭闹起来，绝对是要跟着她的，可是这次妈妈说：“儿子，你是男子汉，妈妈有要事出去带你不方便，你一个人呆在家里好吗？”顿时，我被妈妈的话激到了，很大方的说道：“妈妈，你去吧，我能行！”

其实你无法想象在这之前我有多么害怕黑暗，从来没有一刻敢独自一人呆在家里。可是，唯独这次，不知道哪里来的勇气，我决定试试看。于是，送走妈妈，我把家里所有的灯打开，赶快跑到被窝里用被子裹着身子，只留一个小口观察外面的情况。开始还是会忐忑不安，可是后来我就不知不觉的在床上睡着了。第二天，我一早起来，妈妈就对我说：“仁铖，你真勇敢！”当时，我的心里比吃了蜜还甜。

从此以后，每当我独自一人在家的时候，我再也不害怕了。原来许多事情，面对不一定最难过！

In recent years, there are more and more Confucius Institutes being built

all around the world, which shows that our Chinese culture become much more

popular than ever. As one of the four ancient civilizations, China has long

history and creates many splendid cultures. The ancient culture once had great

influence on the world, such as Japan, South Korea and other Asian and European

countries.

From the respect of school, Confucianism, Mohism, Taoism, and Legalism are

the main schools created in ancient China, and they also have great influence on

the Modern China and the world, especially the Confucianism. They deeply root in

traditional Chinese culture and people’s daily lives.

Specially, kung fu, traditional Chinese painting, poem, opera, cooking,

clothing, architecture and many other kinds of cultural forms make up the

splendid Chinese culture. The kinds listed above are the typical ones which

connect to each other at the same time. For example, painting, clothing and

architecture has many things in common. And each kind of cultural form contains

numerous intentions.

In short, Chinese culture are the accumulation of Chinese history, which

makes Chinese culture colorful and prosperous. If one wants to know or study

Chinese culture deeply, he or she must spend much time in it, otherwise he or

she can only get the tip of an iceberg.

端午节是我们中国十分隆重的节日，它是为了纪念战国时期伟大的爱国诗人屈原，现在的中国人还在延续这一习俗，甚至还有一天的法定节日。

Dragon Boat Festival is a very grand festival in China. It is to

commemorate Qu Yuan, a great patriotic poet in the Warring States period. Now

Chinese people still continue this custom, even a legal festival.

农历五月初五就是端午节了，家家户户都要包粽子，还有有趣的划龙舟比赛呢!奶奶在家已经煮好了香喷喷的粽子，打开锅盖满屋都飘着粽子的清香，让我闻得口水直流个不停。我迫不及待地剥开粽子叶津津有味的吃了起来，真是回味无穷呀!

The Dragon Boat Festival is on the fifth day of may in the lunar calendar.

Every family needs to make zongzi. There are also interesting dragon boat races!

Grandma has cooked delicious zongzi at home. When she opened the pot cover, the

fragrance of zongzi was floating all over the house, making my mouth water

continuously. I cant wait to peel off the zongzi leaf and eat it with relish.

Its really memorable!

吃完粽子后，爸爸带我去看划龙舟比赛，这里人山人海，车水马龙的可热闹了!比赛开始了，各个队伍都蓄势待发，随着一阵枪声一条条龙舟飞快地划过水面，犹如一支支箭向前飞去。在场的观众们兴奋喊道着加油加油，在为参赛者加油鼓励，参赛者们听了心里充满了信心使劲地划桨，水花到处飞溅。各条龙舟你追我赶的，最后，落后的一号终于追上了遥遥领先的二号第一个冲过了终点，观众们不禁欢呼起来，到处都是一片欢乐的海洋。啊!这真是我最难忘的一天了。

After eating zongzi, my father took me to watch the dragon boat race. There

are lots of people here, and the traffic is very busy! The race started, and

every team is ready to go. With a burst of gunfire, each dragon boat flies

across the water like an arrow. The audience cheered and shouted, cheering and

encouraging for the contestants. The contestants listened with confidence and

strove hard to paddle, and the water splashed everywhere. Each dragon boat

chased after each other. At last, the laggard No. 1 finally caught up with the

far ahead No. 2. The audience couldnt help cheering. There was a sea of joy

everywhere. Ah! This is the most unforgettable day for me.

还有许许多多的传统节日也是和端午节一样有趣的，我们要一起保护中国的传统节日。

There are also many traditional festivals as interesting as Dragon Boat

Festival. We should protect Chinese traditional festivals together.

在一片大森林里住着一只变色龙。由于他能够根据环境和形式的变化来调整自己的肤色去适应，所以生活得轻松、惬意。虽然每天变来变去的有些辛苦，但毕竟总能化险为夷，没有生存的危险和压力，也算是无忧无虑。-

一次偶然的机会，变色龙遇到了一只没有尾巴的小壁虎，经过攀谈才知道，原来壁虎在遇到危险的时候，就自己切断尾巴跑掉，也同样活得开心快乐。

“你这样切断尾巴，还能活得下去吗？”

“当然了，一条尾巴对我来说没什么重要，过段时间它就又会长出来，不影响生活。而且我不用像你一样每天变来变去的，多累啊！”

变色龙觉得小壁虎说的很对，它着实有些羡慕。看人家多好啊，每天轻轻松松地趴在那儿，真的有危险时只要把尾巴弄断就可以跑掉了。我长得跟它差不多，比它还强壮些，如果我也把尾巴切断，应该比它更快地长好吧。真是这样，就再也不用变来变去的了，可以省去太多的麻烦。-

打定主意后，变色龙就开始轻松地生活，它不再配合环境变化肤色，懒懒散散地在那儿趴着，这样也相安无事的过了好几天。

有一天，正当变色龙趴在那儿洋洋得意、暗暗窃喜的时候，突然发现有一条蛇正在虎视眈眈地盯着自己，变色龙有些惊慌。

蛇已经开始进攻了，变色龙急忙扭头逃跑，就在蛇快要咬到自己的一刹那，变色龙猛地咬断了自己长长的尾巴。

蛇被变色龙的举动惊呆了，它看着那截长长的断尾，摇摇头走开了。变色龙惊魂未定，拼命地往树梢爬去，可是它突然发现，没有了尾巴，自己已经无法掌握平衡，根本不能像以前一样快速地爬上树顶。

终于变色龙狠狠地摔在了地上，这时它才明白，原来小壁虎的本领并不适合自己。

舍弃自己本身拥有的宝贵本领，而去学一样不适合自己的东西，这是一件多么愚蠢的事情，这样不切实际的想法、做法最终断送了它的性命。

每个人都不应该盲目地羡慕或效仿别人的做法，而是应该根据自己的情况有选择地学习和发挥。

Lightly, lightly, summer girl is coming to the world with slim and graceful step……

The grass grows much greener than before. The flowers come out more beautiful than before. There are more leaves in the trees than before. Everything makes us more youthful.

Accompany the first cry of the cicada and the first shout of the frog…… The world is full of melody. All the bother is taken away by it.

Gradually, gradually, the air temperature turns higher and higher. The lotuses in the lakes come out happily. The dragonflies are busy laying eggs……

Ah! Summer is really coming!

轻轻地，轻轻地，夏天女孩来到世界轻盈一步……

草生长比之前更绿了。花比以前更漂亮。比以前有更多的树叶在树上。一切都让我们更年轻。

伴随着蝉的第一次鸣叫，第一个喊的青蛙……世界充满旋律。所有的麻烦都带走。

渐渐地，渐渐地，气温越来越高。湖里的荷花高兴地出来。蜻蜓忙于产卵……

啊!夏天是真的来了!

在一片森林里，老虎大王统领着动物们过着幸福的生活。

一天，老虎大王得了重病，可能不久于世了，因为它没有子嗣，所以要竞选出一位动物来当新的大王。消息传出后，黑熊、猴子、老山羊、小猫、狮子等好多动物都来报名参加竞选。

黑熊说：“大王应该有力量，有肌肉。”说着，还摇了摇它粗壮的胳膊。

猴子说：“你没有听说‘老虎不在家，猴子当大王’吗?这大王不用选，是我的啦!”

老山羊捋捋胡子，对黑熊和猴子说：“年轻人，不选是不行的，不过呢，要比也得比智慧啊!”

小猫从树上跑了下来，大声说：“我应该当大王!难道你们不知道吗?我是老虎的师傅呢!”

大家七嘴八舌，都觉得自己应该当大王。

老虎大王用手势示意参选的动物静一静，然后慢条斯理地在它们面前各放一片大大的树叶，吩咐猫头鹰叼给参与投票的动物每位一颗石子，你认为谁能当大王，就将手里的石子放在谁面前的树叶上。最后，谁面前的石子最多，谁就是大王。

宣布规则后，动物们就发表各自的竞选演说了。

投票结果，小猫和狮子都得20颗石子，并列第一。

猫头鹰飞起来大声说：“老虎大王身体不舒服，回去休息了，大王让我问你俩一个问题，如果有一个无助的动物向你们求助，而帮助它需要你付出辛苦甚至生命，你们会帮助它吗?”

“这……这个嘛……”小猫犹豫了。

“会!当然会!”狮子说，“作为大王，如果对求助的子民都无动于衷，那还有什么资格当大王!”

听了狮子的话，好多动物都为狮子鼓起掌来。猫头鹰飞走了。过了一会儿，它飞回来说：“传达老虎大王的旨意，竞选结果是——狮子当大王。”

大家再一次热烈鼓掌。黑熊、猴子、老山羊和小猫都输得心服口服。

狮子当上大王后，得到了动物们的支持和信任，它把森林管理得井井有条。

我的周末

201_年_月_日 星期_ 晴

I have planned a happy weekend.Saturday morning, I must go to see me

aunt.In the afternoon, I must go to the shopping center to go shopping.Evening,

I planned makes the homework.Sunday in the morning, I watch the television, the

television program is e_tremely interesting.In the afternoon, I planned listens

to music and paints pictures.I thought this weekend I can be very weary, but is

certainly very joyful.

我打算过一个愉快的周末。周六的上午，我要去看望我的阿姨。下午，我要去购物中心买东西。晚上，我打算做家庭作业。周日上午，我看电视，电视节目非常有趣。下午，我打算听音乐和画画。我想这个周末我会很疲劳，但一定很快乐。

在一片肥沃的土壤上，住着一窝蚂蚁。有三只小蚂蚁听别人说世界上有一种动物叫牛。他们很想长长见识，看牛是什么样的？

一天，阳光明媚，晴空万里，春风拂面。一只年迈的牛慢悠悠地走向那块土地休息。那三只小蚂蚁恰好出来散步，遇到了牛。便问：“你是谁？你从哪里来？你是干什么的？”“我是一只老牛。我从农民家来。我帮农民运东西。”老牛回答道。“原来你就是牛啊！”心里想：我终于可以长见识了。

“我们来看看他到底多大，”小蚂蚁说，“我们一起量量。”他们开始这摸摸那摸摸。突然，一只小蚂蚁兴奋地尖叫起来：“牛像茶碗一样大。”原来是这只蚂蚁摸到了牛的脚。又有一只小蚂蚁摸到了牛的角。“牛像弯弯的腰刀。”过了一会儿，还有一只蚂蚁爬到了牛的背上，摸到了牛的毛便说：“牛跟我一样大。”

牛十分生气，他决定好好教育一下他们。“你们只是走了我身体的一小部分，”老牛说，“请你们走遍我的全身再发表意见吧！”结果他们走遍牛全身后，“对不起，牛伯伯。我们不该这样没礼貌！原来，牛伯伯十分大，有一个大书桌大。”

“你们终于明白了这个道理了，观察事物要客观，不能随便就下结论。”牛高兴地说。

蚂蚁是一直很小很小的昆虫，蚂蚁是群体活动的昆虫，蚂蚁是靠一种叫费洛蒙的东西来传播信息的。如果你往蚂蚁窝里洒水的话，过一伙就有很多蚂蚁出来，每个蚂蚁都拿着食物，围在一起，如果一只很弱小的昆虫站在前面肯定会撞飞的。蚂蚁的力气很大，一只蚂蚁可以举起比它重一百倍的东西。我发现蚂蚁非常团结，在很远的地方有一个很小很小的白糖，三只蚂蚁会先商量好然后在去搬白糖，蚂蚁应为力气很大半糖一下子就搬回蚂蚁窝里了。我把三只蚂蚁放到离蚂蚁窝很远的地方观察蚂蚁会不会回到蚂蚁窝里去，我发现蚂蚁是靠费洛蒙的气味来回到蚂蚁窝里去的。如果

你把米饭还有苹果和白糖摆在蚂蚁窝旁边看看蚂蚁喜欢什么，蚂蚁最喜欢白糖很多蚂蚁都把白糖给搬回蚂蚁窝里了。

只要你留心观察，就会发现在你身边有很多有趣的实验。

宋国有个卖酒的人，为了招徕生意，他总是将店堂打扫得干干净净，将酒壶、酒坛、酒杯之类的盛酒器皿收拾得清清爽爽，而且在门外还要高高挂起一面长长的酒幌子，上书"天下第一酒"几个大字。远远看去，这里的确像个会做生意的酒家。

然而奇怪的是，他家的酒却很少有人问津，常常因卖不出去而使整坛整坛的酒搁酸了，变质了，十分可惜。

这个卖酒的宋国人百思不得其解，他于是向左邻右舍请教这好的酒竟然卖不出去的原因。邻居们告诉他："这是因为你家养的狗太凶猛了的缘故。我们都亲眼看到过，有的人高高兴兴地提着酒壶准备到你家去买酒，可是还没等走到店门口，你家的狗就跳将出来狂吠不止，甚至还要扑上去撕咬人家。这样一来，又有谁还敢到你家去买酒呢?因此，你家的酒就只好放在家里等着发酸变质啊。"

作为一名学生最不尊敬老师的表现就是和老师对着干。在我成长的故事里就有这样令我难忘后悔的事，现在想起来还是记忆新。

那是2005年的一个星期二，第二节课是科学课。上课了，我们认真地听讲，老师让我们背诵我们也认真地背，当老师抽到我背诵的时候，我流利的默背了下来，老师也高兴得给我加了分，我心里也美滋滋的。我们背完后，老师看还有时间，于是让我们把上课背的科学道理默写一边，这时我想：“反正快下课了，老师也不检查，我干脆不写。”就这样，别人都开始默写，教室里一片寂静，只听到笔在纸上刷刷的声音，就我自己没写，我左瞧瞧右看看，同学们都低着头忙活着，我赶紧向桌子底下钻一钻，结果还是被老师发现我坐在那里偷懒，老师问：“周芃浩你为何不写？”我看见老师来了，赶紧拿出本子写，老师气得让我站起来不要写，我那倔强的脾气上来了，站起来后还在写，老师严厉地让我停下来。（因为一年级的时候她批评过我，所以这位老师就给我留下一个不好的印象）就在这时我带着以前的情绪说了一句过火的话：“我凭什么听你的？”老师当时被气得火冒三丈又说了我几句。

如果是别的老师，她满可以以后不管也不问我这个学生的好坏，但我的科学老师她没有那样做，随后，科学老师心平气和的对我说：“周芃浩，听说你别的学科学得不错，要知道只学语文、数学、英语三科是不行的，继续学习需要多学科的知识，偏科是不行的，并且作为一个学生道德品质很重要，要从每一件事严格要求自己。”科学老师说着，我也惭愧地低下了头，心里更是后悔，很诚恳地对老师说：我错了！

老师请谅解我的无知，我这棵小树苗在学校这个大花园里，在老师的阳光普照下一定能够茁壮成长，长成参天大树。

一只小蚂蚁，天天愁眉不展，唉声叹气，一幅苦恼的样子。有一天，小蚂蚁躲在一个角落里，轻轻地哭泣。正好被细心的妈妈看到，妈妈问小蚂蚁说：“宝贝，别的孩子都出去玩了，你怎么了？有什么事不开心吗？”

小蚂蚁看到妈妈这样问她，显的更伤心的样子，抽噎着说到：“我……不想……活了，这样活着－－太没意思了。”小蚂蚁的妈妈吃惊地说：“小宝贝，年轻小孩子，怎有这样的想法？快给妈妈说说为什么呢？”

小蚂蚁继续哭着说：“妈妈，我真是苦命的人呀，出生在蚂蚁家族，没吃、没喝、没得玩不说，生命还那么脆弱，一点点小，像一粒芝麻那么大，谁都打不过，说不定那一天跑的慢，被一滴雨滴拍死了…….想到这，我真的不想活了。”妈妈关爱地把小蚂蚁搂在怀里说：“孩子呀，你有这种想法太可怕了！那你想成为什么动物呀？”小蚂蚁说：“我想成为一只大公鸡，有漂亮的外衣，还能吃虫子，吃饱了还能骄傲地唱两声，可不像我们只会默默无闻地工作。”妈妈说：“孩子，别哭了，请跟我来。”

妈妈带着小蚂蚁钻出了洞的外面，找了一个距洞不远的隐蔽的地方，躲了起来。小蚂蚁好奇地问妈妈：“你这是做什么呢？”“别出声，等一会你就知道了。”过了一会儿，小蚂蚁看到一只漂亮的大公鸡咯咯地叫着跑过来，吓的身体正哆嗦的时候，突然看到一个人把大公鸡逮住了，用锋利的刀子一抹，公鸡没命了。小蚂蚁看的是心惊动魄，差一点叫出声来！

这时，妈妈搂着小蚂蚁说：“孩子，看到了吧？这就是你想要成为的一只大公鸡，刚才还活蹦乱跳的，转眼就没命了。孩子，你要知道，任何动物的生命都是脆弱的。上帝既然给了我们生命，我们就有生活的本领。我们蚂蚁家族是一个伟大的家族，就因为我们身体小，所以我们家族很团结，无论做何事，大家都是一起做。如果脱离了集体，那只有死路一条了。所以，我们不能脱离集体，做任何事都不能单独行动，否则就有危险。这是我们的生存法则，你要记着呀！孩子！”

从此以后，小蚂蚁牢记妈妈的话，与大家一起同吃、同住、同娱乐、同劳动，脸上再也没有愁容了，生活过的很快乐。

Before I go to sleep, I like to listen to soft music, it can help me relax

and have a good dream. My mother tells me that before I was born, she listens

the soft music all the time, so I must be affected by her. Soft music is my

favorite music, it is classic and helps me to feel better when I am not in the

mood.

寒假的一天

It was a very busy evening, I was doing my homework at my home. My father

was writing a composition in the study room. My mother was interested in

Shanghai opera. She was watching a Shanghai opera contest. The apartment was

very quiet. Suddenly the light went out. It was a blackout, but I liked it very

much. It came and I didnt have to do my homework. We went to the living room

very slowly.

After 5 minutes, we all sat in the sofa. It was a lucky, fortunate day. I

said that lets held a concert. My parents agreed with me. I took out some

candles and lighted up. We were singing, laughing and talking. We had a really

good time. But while I was singing, the light suddenly turned on. Oh, my God. My

father went back to his room went on writing.

My mother turned on the TV and said to me “Dear, do your homework!” I felt

very frustrated. I sat at the desk and thought I hated light. I hoped there

would be a blackout the ne_t day. I thought I would enjoy myself more and more.

I went into a dream.

I love computers. Love to what extent, I saw a computer, just like a sweet

drink, as is pleased to want to jump up. I am not like other people who love

playing computer games, I love to paint on the computer.

I remember just started painting on the computer, the mouse does not always

listen to my disposal, I make it point to the document, it refers to another

document or on a roll or several far. Especially in the painting, the mouse不听使唤,

from graphics to painting especially difficult, from the painting I want much. I

repeated practice in the paper how to make the mouse and pen painting painting

painting on paper, the work pays off, and now, I have already use the mouse to

draw a beautiful painting of the painting.

computer virus. However, I now have to deal with them, and often kill antivirus

antivirus software on it. What if you have a better way, tell me as soon as

Dear Tom，

How is it going these days? I keep wondering how you feel about your school life in Beijing. Have you got used to the life in China? Are you enjoying your life? I hope you are.

Let me tell you a piece of good news: I’m going to take part in an English speech contest of middle school students in July in the coming summer vacation. So I’m busy preparing for it. But now I have some difficulty in collecting useful information and using proper English word to express my thoughts. Besides, I really want to improve my spoken English, especially the pronunciation and intonation(语调). Of course, as a native English speaker, you can give me some suggestions.

In addition, I’m going to visit you after the contest. I’m sure we will have a wonderful time together in Beijing! I can hardly wait to see you! I am looking forward to your early reply.

Yours,

Li Hua

Like every young girl, I pay attention to make myself look pretty, because

if I get more attention from others, I will be very happy. So I start to follow

the models and the movies stars dressing style, then I find that compare to

their skinny bodies, I look like a fat girl. So I have made up my mind to lose

weight. As my body is in the growth period, my parents always ask me to eat

more. When they find me start to eat less, they think I am sick. I tell them

that I want to look beautiful, then my mother says that I am beautiful in her

eyes. If I dont eat, I will look old. I search the Internet. The pictures of

skinny girls scare me, so I give up losing weight. My annoyance is gone, and I

am happy again.

我默然立在积水坛边，为着这只蚁而暗自感怀。

连月降雨，天公亦不作美，数日是阴沉沉的不见阳光。阳台堆放的花坛里积了不少雨水，有的幸运被泥土收藏，剩下的只好孤零零为一段故事埋下伏笔。我伏案沉思，不着意仰头一瞥，看见一只细如发丝的蚁误闯了雨水的阵地，八脚乱蹬一气，倒让水面波纹层层散去，撞到我的心头。

我心下略过一份怜惜，几欲伸手救它起，却又想到“长痛不如短痛”一说作罢。救了它，谁又能保证它不会再落水呢？到那时又有谁来助它？生命本是如此脆弱。我如是想着，又掩了卷去，可心绪仿佛作怪，催促着我再看上一看。

我弃了书，见它颤颜的须在空中乱舞，溺在水里找不着北。八条短小，带毛刺的腿挣扎着，极尽扭着两三段的身体在水里一沉一浮，愈是挣扎，则是离岸愈远了。

我瞧它大有几分放弃的模样，身子僵了像是气数已尽，又怀着感慨进屋去了。谁晓得你走这一遭踩死了多少蚁？生命本就是脆弱的。

天光昏暗了，指针也无声走了小半个时辰，待我再回那坛边，竟发现那蚁仍还在着，仍还挣扎着。我叹了气说与它：“何苦硬撑口气不放呢？——世间于你还有甚牵挂么？”许是人蚁沟通不畅，它摆着一副没听懂的样子，挣扎的更厉害了。波纹晃动的更狠，它身上的力也像是使不完的、不逃离决不罢休似的。歇一会再挣，挣累了再歇一会，就如是这般起起落落，时西时东。我看着它不断地栽跟头，但同时也有爬起来的坚强势，竟是被怔住了。我好像看见了它的眼睛，亮加夜星，仿佛有什么不甘在酝酿，像极小草在地面之`下时的干劲，就要破土而出。

可是自然力量还是大的，它渐渐的慢了下来，每一划像一个世纪般漫长。我竟是替它捏了把汗，于心不忍了。

扯了片叶伸与它，好似打捞尸首般在它抽搐时施了一手，平放在土上。它像是完成了巨大使命一般身体先是猛地一紧，然后蓦地慢慢松了下去，接着不动了。

我默然立在积水坛边，为着这只蚁而暗自感怀。

这雨后坛边蚁的故事，有些愕然，有些遗憾，却又有些动人。因为这是生命的故事，而生命本就是值得起敬的。
