初中生英语寓言故事1：Daughter-in-law and daughter

Two women were chating in a room,

One asked, "How is everthing going with your son?"

"Oh,don't even mention it, what a huge misfortune1!!" The woman sighed:

"He is poor enough, and marry a extraordinary lazy daughter-in-law. She doesn’t cook, not clean the room, not look after the children except sleep all the time. It was my son who bring breakfast to her bed.

"How about your dauther?"

"She might be lucky." Woman smiled, "He married a good husband who doesn’t allow him to do the housework, and handle everything all alone. The housework include cooking, washing, cleaning and looking after the children. What’s more, he brought the breakfast to my daughter everyday.

Consider the same situation, but when we look at it from my perspective2, it will have a different mentality3(心态，智力) . Stand to look at other people's position, or at each other's point of view to think about a lot of things, you can have a greater tolerance4 and more love.

初中生英语寓言故事2:Where Can You Find the Riches

An African farmer had heard tales about other farmers who had made millions of dollars by discovering diamond mines. These tales so excited the farmer that he could hardly wait to sell his farm and go prospecting1 for diamonds himself.

So he sold the farm and spent the rest of his life wandering the African continent, searching unsuccessfully for the gleaming(闪闪发光的) gems2(宝石) that brought such high prices on the markets of the world.

Finally, broke, worn out, and in a fit of despondency(泄气，意志消沉) , he threw himself into a river and drowned.

Meanwhile, back at the farm, the man who had bought his farm happened to be crossing a small stream on the property one day when he saw something gleaming at the bottom of the stream. He picked it up. It was a sparkling stone - a good size stone - and, admiring it, he later put it on his fireplace mantel(壁炉架) as an interesting curiosity.

Several weeks later, a visitor admired the stone, looked closely at it, hefted(举起) it in his hand and nearly fainted. He asked the farmer if he knew what he'd found. When the farmer said no, that he thought it was just a piece of crystal, the visitor told him he had found one of the largest diamonds ever discovered.

The farmer was astonished. He told the man that his creek3(小溪) was full of these brilliant stones, and his farmland was covered with them. Not all were as large, perhaps, as the one on his mantel, but they were sprinkled generously throughout his property.

Needless to say, the farm the first farmer had sold, so that he could search for a diamond mine, turned out to be the most productive diamond mine on the entire African continent.

The first farmer had owned, free and clear, acres of diamonds, but had sold them for practically nothing in order to look for them elsewhere.

The moral is clear: If the first farmer hadonly taken the time to study and prepare himself - to learn what diamonds looked like in their rough state - and, since he had already owned a piece of land, to thoroughly4 explore the property he had before looking elsewhere, his wildest dreams would have come true.

初中生英语寓言故事3:When Love Beckons You

When her love beckons1(召唤，吸引) you, follow him, though his ways are hard and steep. And when his wings enfold you, yield to him, though the sword hidden among his pinions2(小齿轮，翅膀) may wound you. And when he speaks to you, believe in him, though his voice mayshatter(粉碎，打碎) your dreams as the north wind lays waste the garden.

For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify(折磨) you. Even as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning3. Even as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning. Even as heascends4 to your height and caresses5(爱抚，拥抱) your tenderest branches thatquiver(颤抖) in the sun, so shall he descend6 to your roots and shake them in their clinging to the earth.

But if, in your fear, you would seek only love’s peace and love’s pleasure, then it is better for you that you cover your nakedness and pass out of love’s threshing-floor, into the seasonless world where you shall laugh, but not all of your laughter, and weep, but not all of your tears. Love givesnaught7 but itself and takes naught but from itself. Love possesses not, nor would it bepossessed8, for love is sufficient unto love.

Love has no other desire but to fulfill9 itself. But if you love and have desires, let these be your desires:

To melt and be like a running brook10(小溪，小河) that sings its melody to the night.

To know the pain of too much tenderness(亲切，柔和) .

To be wounded by your own understanding of love.

And to bleed willingly and joyfully11.

To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving;

To rest at the noon hour and meditate12(考虑，计划) love’s ecstasy13;

To return home at eventide(黄昏，日暮) with gratitude14;

And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart.
