NO. 1《If You Give a Mouse a Cookie 要是你給老鼠吃餅干》

小男孩不過是隨手給了小老鼠一塊餅干，可誰會想到就此推倒了多米諾骨牌呢!這個穿著一條又肥又大的牛仔褲的嚙齒動物實在是太得寸進尺了，你給他一塊餅干，他就要一杯牛奶;你給他一杯牛奶，他就要一根吸管……于是，這個圈子就開始無休無止地兜了下去.......

貪婪是很難克制的，但如果我們從小就放縱自己的貪婪，不對良好的習(xí)慣加以養(yǎng)成，就會變成一只不招人喜歡的小老鼠哦!

這是兒時伴隨我們的枕邊寓言故事，故事雖然簡單，但富有教育意義。教育孩子要誠實，不要撒謊。否則，只會讓身邊的人都對我們產(chǎn)生懷疑，就沒有人愿意跟我們做朋友啦!爸爸媽媽們快和孩子們一起重溫一下這則經(jīng)典寓言吧!

NO. 3《The Runaway Bunny 逃家小兔》

這本出版于1942年的繪本，作者可是美國圖畫書界的先驅(qū)性人物瑪格莉特和克萊門特哦!美國《學(xué)校圖書館》雜志把它評為“1966–1978年‘好中之好’童書”，還附上了一段推薦詞：“在兔子媽媽和小兔子之間富于韻味的奇妙對話，構(gòu)成了一個詩意盎然的小故事，今后這本小書可能會成為不朽的幼兒讀物的經(jīng)典。”

這則寓言非常適合講給家里的“小淘氣”們，聽完他們就會知道，“注意安全”絕不是爸爸媽媽們的嘮叨，而是真的非常重要哦!

在神秘的海底世界里，有一只驕傲的牡蠣。他拒絕了所有朋友的幫忙，決定自己一個人面對未知的危險。結(jié)果如何呢……“驕傲自滿”是小朋友們?nèi)f萬要不得的習(xí)慣，謙虛才能讓我們一直保持努力、上進的心，從而變得越來越好哦!

NO. 5《The Donkey and the Dog 驢和狗》

這則寓言的篇幅并不長，但其中蘊含的道理，可能連很多成年人都沒做好。當(dāng)你發(fā)現(xiàn)你與周圍的人不一樣，而他們卻比你過得好的時候，你是會選擇堅持自我，還是隨波逐流?或許，這則講給孩子聽的寓言，卻能給你一個最正確的答案。

NO. 6《The Sun and the Wind 太陽和北風(fēng)》

這是一個很有名的伊索寓言故事。故事告訴我們：仁慈、溫和與說服勝過強迫。這個故事還告訴我們，對孩子要如太陽那般，讓他們體會到溫暖;如果一味壓制，會使孩子感到有一種極強的心理壓力，產(chǎn)生強逆的反抗心理。

NO. 7《The Story of Chopsticks 筷子的故事》

一個人力量總是非常有限的，但是如果團結(jié)起來的話，往往每個個體的潛力都能得到最大程度上的發(fā)揮哦!就像這則寓言里的主人公——筷子，孤身一人的時候，他可能沒什么用處，但是一旦找到了搭檔，就是非常有價值的餐具啦!

“團結(jié)就是力量”，是每個孩子都必須懂得的道理!學(xué)會了互相幫助，小朋友們才能在集體生活中發(fā)揮出自己最大的價值!

NO. 8《The Little Red Hen 紅色的小母雞》

孩子們正處在愛交朋友的階段，可是，如何在交朋友的過程中明辨是非，區(qū)分真?zhèn)危彩前职謰寢寕儽仨毥o孩子上的一課。只有純真、真正的友情才值得我們用心去維護。小朋友們快來看看紅色的小母雞是怎么做的吧!

NO. 9《The Ant and the Grasshopper 螞蟻和蚱蜢》

從前有一群小螞蟻和一只小蚱蜢。小螞蟻十分勤勞，早早地就在夏天準(zhǔn)備好了過冬的食物，而小蚱蜢則十分懶惰，一天到晚只知道玩耍。很快夏天過去了，冬天來了，他們身上會發(fā)生什么樣的故事呢?想讓家里的寶貝知道“勤勞”的重要性嗎?快與寶貝一起分享這個寓言故事吧!

NO. 10《Smart Cat and Ungrateful Tiger 聰明的貓和不知感恩的老虎》

擁有一顆“感恩的心”，是我們交朋友的前提。在生活中的方方面面，我們也只有學(xué)會感恩，才能懂得珍惜，體會快樂，也才有人愿意一直給予我們幫助。這個寓言故事，很巧妙地告訴了我們“感恩”的重要性，也用老虎的下場讓我們明白，對待朋友不真誠，是不會有好結(jié)果的哦!

英語寓言故事精選

　　第一則：Making His Mark 刻舟求劍

A man from the state of Chu was taking a boat across a river when he dropped his sword into the water carelessly. Immediately he made a mark on the side of the boat where the sword dropped, hoping to find it later. When the boat stopped moving, he went into the water to search for his sword at the place where he had marked the boat. As we know, the boat had moved but the sword had not. Isn't this a very foolish way to look for a sword?

楚國有個人坐船渡江時，他不小心把自己的一把寶劍掉落江中。他馬上掏出一把小刀，在寶劍落水的船舷上刻上一個記號。船靠岸后，那楚人立即從船上刻記號的地方跳下水去撈取掉落的寶劍。他怎么找得到寶劍呢?船繼續(xù)行駛，而寶劍卻不會再移動。像他這樣去找劍，真是太愚蠢可笑了。

第二則：Draw a Snake and Add Feet to It 畫蛇添足

Long long ago, several people had a jar of wine among them and all of them wanted to drink it by himself. So they set a rule that every one would draw a snake on the ground and the man who finished first would have the wine. One man finished his snake very soon and he was about to drink the wine when he saw the others were still busy drawing, so he decided to draw the feet to the snake. However, before he could finish the feet, another man finished and grabbed the jar from him, saying, "Who has ever seen a snake with feet?" The story of "Draw a snake and add feet to It." tells us going too far is as bad as not going far enough.

古時幾個人分一壺酒。他們都想獨自喝完那壺酒，所以就定了一個規(guī)矩：每人在地上畫一條蛇，誰畫得最快，這壺酒就歸誰。有一個人很快就把蛇畫好了。他正打算喝這壺酒時，看見別人都還在忙著畫，就決定給蛇再畫上幾只腳。結(jié)果，他的.蛇腳還沒加完，另一個人已經(jīng)把蛇畫好了。那人一下把酒壺奪了過去，說："有誰見過長腳的蛇?"。這個故事告訴我們這樣的道理：做得過分和做得不夠都是不對的。

第三則：A man was going to the house of some rich person. As he went along the road, he saw a box of good apples at the side of the road. He said, "I do not want to eat those apples; for the rich man will give me much food; he will give me very nice food to eat." Then he took the apples and threw them away into the dust.

He went on and came to a river. The river had become very big; so he could not go over it. He waited for some time; then he said, "I cannot go to the rich man's house today, for I cannot get over the river."

He began to go home. He had eaten no food that day. He began to want food. He came to the apples, and he was glad to take them out of the dust and eat them.

Do not throw good things away; you may be glad to have them at some other time.

【譯文】

一個人正朝著一個富人的房子走去，當(dāng)他沿著路走時，在路的一邊他發(fā)現(xiàn)一箱好蘋果，他說：“我不打算吃那些蘋果，因為富人會給我更多的食物，他會給我很好吃的東西。”然后他拿起蘋果，一把扔到土里去。

他繼續(xù)走，來到河邊，河漲水了，因此，他到不了河對岸，他等了一會兒，然后他說：“今天我去不了富人家了，因為我不能渡過河。”

他開始回家，那天他沒有吃東西。他就開始去找吃的，他找到蘋果，很高興地把它們從塵土中翻出來吃了。

不要把好東西扔掉，換個時候你會覺得它們大有用處。

第四則：The Old Cat

An old woman had a cat. The cat was very old; she could not run quickly, and she could not bite, because she was so old. One day the old cat saw a mouse; she jumped and caught the mouse. But she could not bite it; so the mouse got out of her mouth and ran away, because the cat could not bite it.

Then the old woman became very angry because the cat had not killed the mouse. She began to hit the cat. The cat said, "Do not hit your old servant. I have worked for you for many years, and I would work for you still, but I am too old. Do not be unkind to the old, but remember what good work the old did when they were young."

【譯文】

老貓

一位老婦有只貓，這只貓很老，它跑不快了，也咬不了東西，因為它年紀(jì)太大了。一天，老貓發(fā)現(xiàn)一只老鼠，它跳過去抓這只老鼠，然而，它咬不住這只老鼠。因此，老鼠從它的嘴邊溜掉了，因為老貓咬不了它。

于是，老婦很生氣，因為老貓沒有把老鼠咬死。她開始打這只貓，貓說：“不要打你的老仆人，我已經(jīng)為你服務(wù)了很多年，而且還愿意為你效勞，但是，我實在太老了，對年紀(jì)大的不要這么無情，要記住老年人在年青時所做過的有益的事情。”

英語寓言故事：The Fisher

A Fisher once took his bagpipes to the bank of a river, and played upon them with the hope of making the fish rise; but never a one put his nose out of the water.

Once upon a time, there was a man who wanted to steal his neighbor's doorbell. However, he knew clearly that the bell would ring and catch the other people's attention as long as he touched the bell.

Eventually he got impatient with the young plants and suddenly he hit upon an idea that one by one, he pulled up the young plants by half an inch.

中國寓言故事：狐假虎威

有一天，一只老虎正在深山老林里轉(zhuǎn)悠，突然發(fā)現(xiàn)了一只狐貍，便迅速抓住了它，心想今天的.午餐又可以美美地享受一頓了。

狐貍生性狡猾，它知道今天被老虎逮住以后，前景一定不妙，于是就編出一個謊言，對老虎說：“我是天帝派到山林中來當(dāng)百獸之王的，你要是吃了我，天帝是不會饒恕你的。”

老虎對狐貍的話將信將疑，便問：“你當(dāng)百獸之王，有何證據(jù)?”狐貍趕緊說：“你如果不相信我的話，可以隨我到山林中去走一走，我讓你親眼看看百獸對我望而生畏的樣子。”

老虎想這倒也是個辦法，于是就讓狐貍在前面帶路，自己尾隨其后，一道向山林的深處走去。

森林中的野兔、山羊、花鹿、黑熊等各種獸類遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)地看見老虎來了，一個個都嚇得魂飛魄散，紛紛奪路逃命。

轉(zhuǎn)了一圈之后，狐貍洋洋得意地對老虎說道：“現(xiàn)在你該看到了吧?森林中的百獸，有誰敢不怕我?”

老虎并不知道百獸害怕的正是它自己，反而因此相信了狐貍的謊言。狐貍不僅躲過了被吃的厄運，而且還在百獸面前大抖了一回威風(fēng)。對于那些像狐貍一樣仗勢欺人的人，我們應(yīng)當(dāng)學(xué)會識破他們的伎倆。
