英文寓言故事1　

Zhuang Zhou's family was poor. Once, he went to the official who supervised1 rivers to borrow some grain. The official said: "Well, wait until the end of the year when I collect the taxes from the people, then I will lend you 300 gold pieces. All right?"

When Zhuang Zhou heard this, he was so angry that the colow of his face changed. But he told the official this story: When I came here yesterday, on the way I heard a voice calling 'Help!' I turned my head and saw a small crucian carp in the dried-up carriage ditch2."

I went over and asked: "Little crucian carp, why are you calling for help?"

The little crucian carp answered: "I am a subject of the Dragon King of the East China Sea. Unfortunately I fell down here. Can you give me a little water to save my life?"

I said: "All right, I am just going to the south to sell ideas to the kings of the States of Wu and Yue. I will ask them to stir3 up the water of the Xijiang River to welcome you. Will that do?"

When the crucian carp heard this, it got angry and said: "When I lose the water which is always with me, I cannot survive. Now, I want only a little bit of water so that I can survive.Yet you say such things. Then you'd better go to the salt-fish shop to look for me."

我走過(guò)去，問(wèn)它： “小娜魚(yú)，你為什么喊救命?”

我說(shuō)：“好吧!我正好要去南方游說(shuō)吳國(guó)和越國(guó)的國(guó)王，那我就請(qǐng)他們激起西江的大水來(lái)迎接您，可以嗎?”

卿魚(yú)聽(tīng)了，氣得不得了，說(shuō)：“我失去了常跟我在一起的水，就無(wú)法生存下去了?，F(xiàn)在，我只要得到一些水，就能夠生存下去;你卻說(shuō)出這樣的話(huà)。好吧，你不如趁早到咸魚(yú)店里去找我吧!

Draw a Snake and Add Feet to It

畫(huà)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?"
