When a lion was asleep, a little mouse began running up and down beside him. This soon wakened the lion. He was very angry, and caught the mouse in his paws.
"Forgive me, please." cried the little mouse. "I may be able to help you someday." The lion was tickled at these words.
He thought, "How could this little mouse help me?" However he lifted up his paws and let him go.
A few days later, the lion was caught in a trap.
The hunters wanted to take him alive to the king, so they tied him to a tree, and went away to look for a wagon.
Just then the little mouse passed by, and saw the sad lion.
He went up to him, and soon gnawed away the ropes. "Was I not right?" asked the little mouse.

不久，獅子被陷阱困住了。獵人們想將活獅子獻(xiàn)給國(guó)王，就把他捆在一棵大樹上，然后去找馬車。

6.英語小故事2～3分鐘 篇六
There was a sturdy ram with a pair of thick horns upright on its head.
It strutted about proudly and saw a fence built with bamboo and wood in front, which blocked its way. It cast a sidelong glance at the fence, lowered its neck and lunged at the fence, hoping to knock it down. The fence remained intact but the ram injured its own horns.
If it had not injured its horns, the ram would have persisted obstinately in butting against the fence, even against the spokes of a wheel until it bled with a fractured skull.
As a result, with its horns caught in the fence, the ram could neither advance nor retreat butbleat helplessly.
一頭長(zhǎng)得非常雄壯的公羊的頭上，挺立著一對(duì)粗大的犄角。

假如公羊沒有碰傷犄角的話，那么它還會(huì)一個(gè)勁兒地撞下去，甚至向車輪的輻條上撞去，直到頭破血流為止。
結(jié)果呢?公羊的犄角被籬笆夾住，進(jìn)也不得，退也不得，只能“咩咩”不停地叫喚。
7.英語小故事2～3分鐘 篇七
A singing-bird was confined1 in a cage which hung outside a window, and had a way of singing at night when all other birds were asleep. One night a bat came and clung2 to the bars of the cage, and asked the bird why she was silent by day and sang only at night. "I have a very good reason for doing so," said the bird: "it was once when I was singing in the daytime that a fowler was attracted by my voice, and set his nets for me and caught me. Since then I have never sung except by night." But the bat replied, "It is no use your doing that now when you are a prisoner. If only you had done so before you were caught, you might still have been free."
Precautions3 are useless after the event.

待事情發(fā)生之后再預(yù)防，為時(shí)已晚。
8.英語小故事2～3分鐘 篇八
An unlucky fox fell into a well. It was quite deep, so he could not get out by himself.
A goat passed by. He asked the fox what he was doing in the well. "Oh, have you not heard?" said the fox. "There is going to be a great drought, so I jumped down to get some water. Why don’t you come down here too?"
The goat believed his words, and jumped down into the well.
But the fox immediately jumped on the goat’s back and up to the edge of the well.
"Good-bye, friend," said the fox. "Remember next time don’t trust the advice of a man in difficulties."

山羊相信了狐貍的話，就真的跳進(jìn)井里。
狐貍立即跳上山羊的背，又一跳，跳上了井沿。
“再見，朋友，”狐貍說，“記住，不要相信一個(gè)身陷麻煩的人的建議?！?BR> 寓意： 處于困境之中的人為了擺脫困境，往往不惜犧牲別人的利益，所以他們的建議常常是不可信的。

“咱們可能在貓的脖子上綁一個(gè)鈴鐺，那么如果他來到附近，咱們聽到鈴聲就能夠立即逃跑?！?BR> 大家都同意這個(gè)倡導(dǎo)，這時(shí)一只聰明的老耗子站出來說：“這確切是個(gè)絕妙的主意，然而誰來給貓的脖子上綁鈴鐺呢?”老鼠們面面相覷，誰也不談話。
寓意：有些事件說起來容易，做起來卻很難。

One day the wolf found the skin of a sheep. He put it on and walked among the sheep.
A lamb thought that the wolf was its mother because his skin looked like hers. So it followed the wolf.

狼帶著小羊羔騙過了狗離開了羊群，吃掉了小羊羔。
寓意：事物的外表有時(shí)候會(huì)掩蓋它的本質(zhì)，所以我們不能只憑表面現(xiàn)象就作判斷。
