儿童英语故事:罗伯特•布鲁斯与蜘蛛

Robert Bruce was king of Scotland in the early 14th century. He fought in many battles with the English to make them allow Scotland to be independent. Sometimes he won, but at other times the English won and he had to hide. On one of these times, according to an old story, he was hiding in Ireland and had almost given up hope of beating the English. He had tried and failed six times. Then he happened to notice a spider over his bed trying to fix its web on a beam in the ceiling. Six times the spider tried and failed. But the spider tried a seventh time and succeeded. Bruce decided that he too should try a seventh time. He went back to Scotland and led another army against the English. This time he was successful, and the English had to recognize Scottish independence.

罗伯特•布鲁斯是14世纪初的苏格兰国王。为赢得苏格兰的独立,他与英格兰人的军队多次交锋,有时获胜,有时战败,不得不东躲西藏。据说有一次他在爱尔兰藏身,几乎放弃了打败英格兰人的希望。他已经尝试过六次,但六次都失败了。这时他注意到床的上方有一只蜘蛛在织网。这只蜘蛛试图把网挂在屋梁上,但尝试过六次,都没有成功。蜘蛛尝试了第七次,结果把网织好了。布鲁斯以此为榜样,决心再战。他返回苏格兰,率领另一支军队攻打英格兰人。这次他终于打了个胜仗,迫使英格兰承认苏格兰独立。

题外话:据苏格兰小说家司各特说,在苏格兰,凡是叫布鲁斯的人若伤害了蜘蛛,都被视为犯了忘恩负义的大罪。

儿童英语故事:小约翰

One day, Robin Hood went hunting alone in the forest. He had told his men that if he should fall into any danger and could not escape he would blow his horn so that they might know and come to help him. When he was crossing a river by a long bridge he met a huge man at the middle. And neither of the two would give way to the other. Robin Hood got angry and put an arrow to his bow and made ready to shoot. The stranger said it was unfair for Robin Hood to shoot a man who had only a staff in his hand. Hearing this Robin Hood lay down his bow and pulled up a small tree and returned to the stranger.

They agreed to fight on the bridge, and that the one who first fell in the stream would be the loser. Robin Hood first struck the stranger a blow, but the stranger did not fall. Then the stranger gave him such a hit on the head that blood flowed. This made him so angry that he attacked the stranger violently as if he wanted to kill him. But then he received another blow and fell into the river. The stranger laughed loudly. Robin Hood swam to the bank, pulled out his horn and blew it so that the valley echoed with the sound. At this fifty men came out of the wood, all in green, and they asked Robin what had happened. Robin said the stranger had caused him to fall into the water. When his men were going to seize the stranger to duck him as well, Robin Hood stopped them. He praised the stranger for his strength and courage, and asked him what his name was and if he would be one of his men, living a merry life in the forest. The stranger said his name was John Little, and he was very glad to join them and to be true to Robin Hood.

But the merry men preferred to call the stranger Little John. Of course it was only a joke, because he was actually seven feet high and more than three round at his waist. Little John later became the leader of the band just below Robin Hood.
