英语寓言故事 篇一：The Cunning Fox and the Foolish Crow
Once upon a time, in a lush green forest, there lived a cunning fox and a foolish crow. The crow was known for its beautiful voice, while the fox was known for its sly nature.
One sunny morning, the crow perched on a branch and began to sing. Its melodious voice echoed through the forest, capturing the attention of all the animals. The fox, who was hiding in the bushes, was also enchanted by the crow's singing.
The fox thought of a clever plan to satisfy its hunger. It approached the crow and said, "Oh, dear crow, your voice is so divine! I have never heard anything so beautiful. Won't you please sing for me once more?"
The crow, flattered by the fox's praise, decided to oblige. It opened its beak to sing but dropped the piece of cheese it had been holding in its mouth. The cunning fox quickly snatched the cheese and gobbled it up.
The foolish crow realized its mistake and felt foolish for falling into the fox's trap. It vowed to never trust anyone so easily again.
Moral of the Story: Beware of flattery and stay cautious of those who try to deceive you for their own benefit.
英语寓言故事 篇二：The Hare and the Tortoise
Once upon a time, in a vast meadow, there lived a hare and a tortoise. The hare was known for its incredible speed, while the tortoise was known for its slow and steady nature.
One day, the hare boasted about its speed to the tortoise. "I am the fastest animal in the world!" exclaimed the hare. The tortoise, however, remained calm and said, "Speed is not everything. Slow and steady wins the race."
The hare, filled with arrogance, challenged the tortoise to a race. The tortoise accepted the challenge, and the race was set for the next day.
On the day of the race, all the animals gathered to watch. The hare sprinted ahead, leaving the tortoise far behind. Confident in its speed, the hare decided to take a nap under a shady tree.
Meanwhile, the tortoise continued plodding along, never losing focus. It steadily moved forward, ignoring the distractions along the way.
When the hare woke up, it realized that it had underestimated the tortoise's determination and focus. It rushed towards the finish line, but it was too late. The tortoise had already crossed the finish line and won the race.
Moral of the Story: Slow and steady wins the race. It is not always the fastest who emerges as the winner, but those who remain focused and determined throughout the journey.

英语寓言故事 篇六
Father had a family of sons who were perpetually quarrelling among themselves. When he failed to heal their disputes by his exhortations,he determined to give them a practical illustration of the evils of disunion;and for this purpose he one day told them to bring him a bundle of sticks. When they had done so,he placed the faggot into the hands of each of them in succession,and ordered them to break it in pieces. They each tried with all their strength,and were not able to do it.
He next unclosed the faggot,and took the sticks separately,one by one,and again put them into their hands,on which they broke them easily. He then addressed them in these words:"My sons,if you are of one mind,and unite to assist each other,you will be as this faggot,uninjured by all the attempts of your enemies;but if you are pided among yourselves,you will be broken as easily as these sticks."
