篇一：英語短文小故事
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.

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.

Once there were two mice. They were friends. One mouse lived in the country; the other mouse lived in the city. After many years the Country mouse saw the City mouse; he said, "Do come and see me at my house in the country." So the City mouse went. The City mouse said, "This food is not good, and your house is not good. Why do you live in a hole in the field? You should come and live in the city. You would live in a nice house made of stone. You would have nice food to eat. You must come and see me at my house in the city."
The Country mouse went to the house of the City mouse. It was a very good house. Nice food was set ready for them to eat. But just as they began to eat they heard a great noise. The City mouse cried, " Run! Run! The cat is coming!" They ran away quickly and hid.

篇六：英語短文小故事
The Young Thief and His Mother Long ago, there were a mother and a son living in a house. She worked hard everyday, but they were always poor.
One day, her son stole his friend's bag. "Mom, what do you think of this bag?" His mother praised her son rather than scolding him. "It looks great!" The next time, he stole an overcoat.
She praised him again when he stole it. A few years later, he grew up to be a young man. He stole jewelry and brought them to his mother. "How beautiful!" This time, she did not scold her son again. Then, because he was elated by his mother, he started to steal more expensive things.
One day, the police caught him. Before putting him in jail, he begged the police to meet his mother. They took him to his mother. As soon as he saw his mother, he bit her earlobe. "Ouch! What's the matter with you?" She finally scolded him. Her son answered. "If you had given me a scolding like that when I stole the first bag, I could not have become a thief." She collapsed as she looked at her son heading to prison. "If I only could turn back time, I would scold him severely." She regretted that she always praised him, whatever he did.

篇七：英語短文小故事
A man named Fu Xian was fond of reading books. Though proficient1 in literature and etiquette2, he was stubbornly adherent3 to outworn rules. Being impractical4 and dull, he looked just like an old pedant5.
One day, Fu Xian strolled on the street with measured strides and asked whomever he met: "Have you seen Wei San?"
Someone pointed6 to the direction and he walked on unhurriedly with measured strides. When he saw Wei San, he panted for a while, then said: "I just saw your wife doing needlework under a tree. She was tired and taking a nap. Your child was playing beside a well, only 3 to 5 chi away from it. It seemed to me that some accident might happen. As there is prudent7 reserve between men and women, it was not convenient for me to awaken8 your wife in person. That's why I have come all the way here to tell you."
Upon hearing this, Wei San was panic-stricken and hurried home. When he got home, his wife was bending over the well, wailing9 bitterly for their son.

有人給他指點(diǎn)方向，他就踱著方步走去。等見到魏三，他喘了幾口氣之后才說：“我剛才看見三嫂，她在樹下做針線活兒，疲倦了，就在那兒打噸。您家的小孩兒，在水井旁邊玩耍，離井口不過三五尺遠(yuǎn)，看上去好像要出事。因?yàn)槟信袆e，不便直接叫醒三嫂，所以特地跑來告訴你�！�
