寓言类续写英文范文 篇一:The Wise Old Owl
Once upon a time, deep in the heart of a mystical forest, there lived a wise old owl. This owl had been the guardian of the forest for many years, offering guidance and wisdom to all the creatures that called it home. The owl was known for its ability to see beyond the surface and understand the true nature of things.
One day, a young fox approached the owl, seeking its advice. The fox was filled with curiosity and a longing to explore the world beyond the forest. The owl listened intently to the fox's desires and then spoke, "My young friend, the world beyond the forest is vast and filled with wonders. But remember, with every adventure comes danger and uncertainty. It is important to be cautious and wise in your explorations."
The fox thanked the owl for its wisdom and set off on its journey. For days and nights, the fox traveled through different landscapes, encountering various challenges along the way. It faced raging rivers, treacherous cliffs, and cunning predators. Each time, the fox remembered the owl's advice and relied on its own instincts to navigate through the difficulties.
After many months of exploration, the fox found itself in a bustling city. The sights, sounds, and smells overwhelmed the creature, who had never experienced such a crowded and noisy environment before. Lost and confused, the fox searched for a place of refuge.
In a hidden corner of the city, the fox stumbled upon a park. It was a small oasis amidst the chaos, with tall trees and blooming flowers. At the center of the park, the fox noticed a statue of an owl, resembling the wise old owl from the forest. The fox felt a sense of comfort and familiarity.
As the fox observed the statue, it realized the true meaning behind the owl's advice. The owl had not only warned of the dangers beyond the forest but also emphasized the importance of finding balance and solace in unfamiliar surroundings. The fox understood that wisdom comes not only from knowledge but also from the ability to adapt and find peace in new environments.
With this newfound realization, the fox returned to the forest, carrying the lessons it had learned. It became a wise and respected member of the animal community, offering guidance and wisdom to those who sought it.
And so, the legacy of the wise old owl lived on through the fox, reminding all creatures of the importance of wisdom, caution, and adaptability in the face of new experiences.
寓言类续写英文范文 篇二:The Greedy Ant and the Wise Grasshopper
Once upon a time, in a quiet meadow, there lived an ant and a grasshopper. The ant was known for its diligent nature, tirelessly collecting food and preparing for the winter ahead. The grasshopper, on the other hand, was carefree and lived in the moment, enjoying the warmth of the sun and the melodies of nature.
As the seasons changed and winter approached, the ant began to gather an abundant supply of food, storing it in its underground dwelling. The grasshopper, however, continued to dance and sing, paying no heed to the ant's warnings of the harsh winter to come.
When the first snowflakes fell, the grasshopper realized its mistake. It was left with nothing to eat and nowhere to seek shelter. Desperate and hungry, the grasshopper went to the ant, begging for help.
The ant, though tempted to deny assistance to the grasshopper, remembered the teachings of its wise elders. It understood that compassion and kindness were more valuable than all the food it had stored. The ant welcomed the grasshopper into its dwelling, sharing its provisions and providing warmth.
As the winter days passed, the grasshopper learned the importance of preparation and responsibility. It realized that life was not always about dancing and singing but also about taking care of oneself and others. The ant, in turn, discovered the joy of companionship and the fulfillment that comes from helping those in need.
When spring finally arrived, the grasshopper expressed its gratitude to the ant for its generosity. The two creatures bid farewell, each having learned valuable lessons from the other.
From that day forward, the ant continued to work diligently, preparing for the upcoming winter, but it also took time to appreciate the beauty of nature and enjoy moments of leisure. The grasshopper, on the other hand, took responsibility for its own well-being, while still finding time to dance and sing, spreading joy throughout the meadow.
And so, the ant and the grasshopper taught the other animals of the meadow the importance of finding a balance between work and play, responsibility and enjoyment. Their story became a timeless tale of wisdom and compassion, reminding all creatures that true happiness lies in embracing both diligence and leisure in life.

A water bearer in India had two large pots, each hung on each end of a pole which he carried across his neck.

“为这两年来只能让你挑回一半的水。因为我身上的这个裂缝,每次你回雇主家的路上,水都在漏,到家时就只剩下半罐了。
Because of my flaws, you have to do all of this work, and you don't get full value from your efforts,xxx the pot said.
正是我的裂缝,你不得不多挑几次水,这样就浪费了你的部分劳动价值。”罐子说道。

xxxAs we return to the master's house, I want you to notice the beautiful flowers along the
“当我们返回雇主家时,我希望你能留心路旁那些美丽的花朵。”
Indeed, as they went up the hill, the old cracked pot took notice of the sun warming the beautiful wild flowers on the side of the path, and this cheered it some.

But at the end of the trail, it still felt bad because it had leaked out half its load, and so again it apologized to the bearer for its failure.
它感到了一丝快乐,但到雇主家时,它又为自己漏了一半水而难过起来,于是,它再次为自己的失败向挑水工道歉。
The bearer said to the pot, xxxDid you notice that there were flowers only on your side of your path, but not on the other pot's side?
挑水工对罐子说:“你注意到了吗?你这边沿路都有花,而另一边就没有?
That's because I have always known about your flaw, and I took advantage of it.
我早就注意到了你的裂缝,我就是利用这一点,在你这侧的路边种上花籽。
I planted flower seeds on your side of the path, and every day while we walk back from the stream, you've watered them.
每天,我们从小溪回来时,你就给它们浇了水。
For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate my master's table.
这两年,我就采这些漂亮的花朵来装点雇主的桌子。
Without you being just the way you are, he would not have this beauty to grace his
倘若你不漏水,他就没有这么美丽的鲜花来装饰屋子了。”

从前有一个牧民,养了几十只羊,白天放牧,晚上赶进一个用柴草和木桩等物围起来的羊圈内。
一天早晨,这个牧民去放羊,发现羊少了一只。原来羊圈破了个窟窿,夜间有狼从窟窿里钻了进来,把一只羊叼走了。
邻居劝告他说:“赶快把羊圈修一修,堵上那个窟窿吧。”他说:“羊已经丢了,还去修羊圈干什么呢?”没有接受邻居的好心劝告。
第二天早上,他去放羊,发现又少了一只羊。原来狼又从窟窿里钻进羊圈,又叼走了一只羊。
这位牧民很后悔没有认直接受邻居的劝告,去及时采取补救措施。于是,他赶紧堵上那个窟窿,又从整体进行加固,把羊圈修得牢牢实实的。
从此,这个牧民的羊就再也没有被野狼叼走过了。
