The Patient and the Ship Owner 篇1

英语寓言小故事 篇2

A MAN who had traveled in foreign lands boasted very much, on returning to his own country, of the many wonderful and heroic feats he had performed in the different places he had visited. Among other things, he said that when he was at Rhodes he had leaped to such a distance that no man of his day could leap anywhere near him as to that, there were in Rhodes many persons who saw him do it and whom he could call as witnesses. One of the bystanders interrupted him, saying: "Now, my good man, if this be all true there is no need of witnesses. Suppose this to be Rhodes, and leap for us."

有个去过国外旅游的人回国后大肆吹嘘他在别的很多城市的丰功伟绩。其中,他就说道,他在罗德岛曾跳得很远,连奥林匹克的`冠军都不能与他抗衡。他还说那些当时在场观看的人们若能到这里来,就可以给他作证。这时,旁边的一个人对他说:“喂,朋友,如果这一切是真的,根本不需要什么证明人。你把这里当作是罗德岛,你跳吧!”

英语寓言故事 篇3

A man walking in the night slipped from a rock. Afraid that he would fall down thousands of feet, because he knew that place was a very deep valley, he took hold of a branch that was hanging over the rock. In the night all he couls see was a bottomless abyss. He shouted, his own shout reflected back--there was nobody to hear.

You can imagine that man and his whole night of scare. Every moment there was death, his hands were becoming cold, he was losing his grip...... and as the sun came out he looked down and he laughed. There was no abyss. Just six inches down there was a rock. He could have rested the whole night, slept well---the rock was big enough---but the whole night was a nightmare.

Fear is only six inches deep. Now it is up to you whether you want to go on cling to the branch and turn your life into a nightmare, or whether you would love to leave the branch and stand on your feet.

There is nothing to fear.

英语寓言故事 篇4

A man once had four sons who never stopped quarrelling with one another. He was always telling them how much easier life would be if they worked together but they took absolutely no notice of him. One day he decided to show them what he meant.

He called all the sons together and put a tightly tied bundle of sticks on the floor in front of them.

"Can you break that ? " he asked the youngest son. The boy put his knee on the bundle but though he pressed and pulled with his arms he could not bend the wood. The father asked each son in turn to try to break the bundle, but none of them could do it .

Then he untied the string and scattered the sticks.

" Now try, " he said . The boys broke the sticks easily in their hands.

"Do you see what I mean ?" asked the father. "if only you stand together no one can hurt you . If you all disagree the whole time and insist on going your separate ways, the first enemy you meet will be able to destroy you. "

United we stand ; divided we fall.

英语寓言小故事 篇9

In a primeval forest, a boa constrictor and a leopard at the same time stare at an antelope. The leopard looks at the python, the boa constrictor looks at the leopard, each takes the abacus".

The leopard thought, "if I want to eat the antelope, I must destroy the python first.".

Python thought: "if I want to eat antelope, we must first destroy the leopard.".

So, almost at the same time, the leopard jumped on the python, and the python jumped on the leopard.

The leopard bit the Python's neck and thought, "if I don't bite, I'll be bitten by a python.".

The python wrapped around the leopard's body and thought, "if it doesn't work hard, I'll be killed by a leopard.".

So both sides fought desperately.

Finally, the antelope walked serenely, while the leopard and python fell to the ground.

The hunter saw this battle is very emotion, said: "if both pounce on prey, rather than toward each other, and then divide the food, both will not die; if both go together, to give up their prey, both will not die; if a party of two side away, toward the prey, both will not die if the seriousness of each other; two problems in consciousness, they are not dead. Their sorrow is to have the courtesy into a fight at outrance struggle."

The sorrow of life often comes from this.
