只有一个宝宝的母狮子
One day, some animals were talking about which animal was the best. The pig said, "Pigs are the greatest because we have many babies. I have twelve healthy little pigs." She asked the rabbit, "How many babies do you have?"
The rabbit felt embarrassed([ɪmˈbærəst]尴尬的). She only had seven. Then she pointed at the sheep and said, "She only has three!" Everyone laughed.
A snake passed by(经过) and said, "Snakes are truly the greatest. I have fifty!"
"So what?" said a new voice. Everyone turned around and saw a lioness(母狮子).
The snake lifted up her head and looked at the lioness."Why do you speak? I have fifty babies. You only have one. That's nothing." The other animals said that the snake was right.
The lioness laughed. "I only have one, but it is a lion. Only a lion can be the king of the forest."
The other animals could think of nothing to say. They had many babies, but none of them would ever be as strong as a lion. "One valuable(珍贵的) thing," said the lioness, "is worth more than a hundred common(普通的) ones."
少儿英语故事 猫头鹰和天鹅
从前有一只猫头鹰和天鹅是朋友。天鹅是天鹅群的大王，而猫头鹰只是一只普普通通的猫头鹰……
Once there were two friends Kanakaksha the owl1 and Sumitra the swan. Sumitra was the king of the swans. But Kanakaksha was an ordinary owl. He was afraid to let Sumitra know that he was a poor owl. So he told Sumitra that he was also a king and also had subjects. Everyday the owl would fly to the pond where the swan lived.
One day as usual, Kanakaksha flew to the pond to meet his friend. “Good morning Sumitra, how are you today?" he asked.
“Good morning my friend, I am fine. Just caught up with the usual work of a king – solving disputes among my subjects," replied Sumitra.
Just then, one of Sumitra’s subjects came up to him and whispered something in his ear.
“Oh!" exclaimed Sumitra. “Kanakaksha, please give me a moment. I have to settle another dispute between two of my subjects."
“Very well Sumitra," answered the owl. “I will wait right here." After Sumitra left to find his subjects, Kanakaksha thought to himself, “If Sumitra comes to know that I am just an ordinary owl, he will stop being my friend. I have to impress him."
As Kanakaksha was flying through the woods in search of food, he saw a camp of soldiers and their commander. He suddenly got an idea. He flew back to the pond and called Sumitra. “I want you to visit my kingdom," invited the owl.
“One day I will surely visit your kingdom Kanakaksha," answered Sumitra the swan.
“Not someday," urged Kanakaksha. “You should come today. I come to meet you everyday." Sumitra agreed and the owl took the swan to the place where the soldiers had camped.
“This is my kingdom and these are my subjects," said Kanakaksha to Sumitra proudly. Sumitra knew that Kanakaksha was no king. But he did not want to hurt his poor foolish friend’s feelings.
“Wow!" exclaimed Sumitra.
“Are your soldiers getting ready to move?"
“No! How could they without my permission?" The Owl flew over the camp hooting3 aloud “Ho - hoo!" The commander heard the owl and said, “An owl is hooting. It’s a bad omen2. We will have to postpone4 our march."
The next day Kanakaksha and Sumitra came to the same place. Just as the army got ready to move. Kanakaksha hooted5 again. The army stopped again. On the third day again, Kanakaksha hooted just as the commander mounted his horse.
“Oh this omen maker6! Will someone take care of him?" shouted the commander angrily.
"This time my poor friend has gone too far," thought Sumitra the swan to himself.
A soldier stepped forward and shot an arrow at the owl perched on a branch. But Kanakaksha spotted7 the arrow and swiftly flew away. Sumitra who had been next to Kanakaksha did not see the arrow coming. The arrow hit Sumitra and he died.
“Oh my foolishness has caused the death of my good friend," thought Kanakaksha bitterly to himself.
蛇和愚蠢的青蛙

Once a snake who had grown weak with old age came across a pond where many frogs lived with their king, queen and little prince. The snake had not eaten for many days. He tried to catch some of the frogs, but was too weak to catch any of them. “I will have to think of some solution or I will soon die," the snake thought.
Just then he saw the frog prince and his friends. They were busy in their game and did not notice the snake. When they came very close, one of them saw the snake and jumped up, “Oh, a snake," he shouted in fear. All of them ran for their lives. But when the snake did not move, the frog prince went up to it. The snake still did not move. “Let me see if he is dead?" said the frog prince and knocked on the snake’s head and jumped away quickly.
The snake slowly opened its eyes and said, “Do not worry. I will not get angry no matter what you do."
The frogs were very surprised. “I once bit a sage1’s son," explained the snake. “The sage got angry and cursed me that I would carry frogs on my back for the rest of my life."
Hearing this, the frog prince jumped up with joy. “Then I will ride on your back," he said. So the frog prince jumped on top of the snake and commanded, “Take me to my parents."
The king and the queen were amazed at the sight. “Father, look, I am riding a snake," shouted the prince. “Let us also ride the snake," the queen urged the frog king. So they all sat on the snake.
“You are moving very slowly," complained the prince. “What can I do," answered the snake sadly. “I have not eaten for several days."
“Why have you not eaten? The royal mount2 should be fast and strong," said the king.
“I can eat only with your permission," answered the snake.
“Your subjects are my food."
“How can I permit you to eat us?" asked the king.
“Not the royal frogs," explained the snake. “I cannot permit you to eat my subjects," said the frog king.
The prince was upset and cried. “Father, please permit him. I don’t want to loose him."
Even the queen spoke3 up. “Do permit the snake. How many frogs can he eat anyway? We have many subjects."
At last the king had to grant permission. The snake began to eat many frogs every day. Soon he was very strong and healthy. Now, he moved very quickly. The prince was thrilled to ride a snake that moved so fast.
One day the snake went to the frog king. “I am hungry O king. There are no more frogs left in the pond. So now I am going to cat you all."
And the wicked snake pounced4 on all the three royal frogs and ate them up.
少儿英语故事 橡树和芦苇
有一棵橡树总认为他比芦苇要强壮得多……
The Oak tree always thought that he was far stronger than the reeds.
He said to himself “I stand upright in storm. I don’t bend my head in fear every time the wind blows. But these reeds are really so weak."
That very night blew a storm and the mighty1 oak tree was uprooted2.
“Thank god!" sighed the reeds, “Our way is better. We bend but we don’t break."
少儿英语故事 商人和他的朋友
从前有个商人要到别的地方去做生意，把铁秤交给他的放贷者朋友保管。等他生意好转回来要秤的时候，那个朋友说秤被老鼠吃了。商人说要到河边去洗澡，让朋友的儿子帮忙看衣服。后来商人告诉朋友：他的儿子被老鹰叼走了。
In a small town, there lived a merchant. He ran a small business. Unfortunately, he lost all his money in business. “I can’t stay like this. I have to do something. I will go to the next town and invest in another business," he thought to himself.
So he made arrangement for his departure. He took all he had and prepared to leave. There was an iron weighing balance which he could not take along with him. So he took it to his friend the money lender. “Friend, I am going on business to the next town. Will you please keep this iron balance for me till I return?" requested the merchant.
“Surely. Why not? May you prosper1 more than before and return," wished the money lender.
The merchant did very well in the next town and after a while had earned a good amount of money. He decided2 to go back to his home town. He returned home a rich man.
He went to his friend the money lender. “Hello friend, I am back. Can you please return my iron weighing balance? I will need it to resume3 my business here." It was a good weighing balance and the money lender was a selfish man.
So he said, “I am very sorry my friend. I kept your iron balance in my store room, but the rats ate it up."
The merchant knew that his friend the money lender was lying. He pretended to believe him and then asked, “My friend, I want to take a bath in the river. Will you send your little son with me? I want him to keep an eye on my clothes and my money bag."
The money lender readily4 agreed and sent his little son along with the merchant. The merchant took the little boy and locked him up in a place in the outskirts5 of the town and went back to the money lender.
He said, “I am very sorry my friend, while I was walking down to the river with your son, an eagle swooped6 down and carried him away."
“You are lying," shouted the money lender angrily. “Return my son or I will take you to the judge."
“Come, let us go," said the merchant.
Hearing the merchant’s story about the eagle, the judge said, “Are you trying to fool me? How can an eagle fly away with a boy?"
“If rats can eat an iron weighing balance, why can’t an eagle fly away with a boy?" asked the merchant.
“Explain yourself," ordered the confused judge. After listening to the whole story, the judge could not help smiling. He turned to the dishonest money lender and said, “He paid you back with the same coin. Return his weighing balance to him and he will return your son to you."
