3分钟少儿英语故事：The Wedding of Mrs.Fox

here was once on a time an old fox with nine tails, who believed that his wife was not faithful to him, and wished to try her. He stretched himself out under the bench, did not move a limb, and behaved as if he were stone dead. Mrs. Fox went up to her room, shut herself in, and her maid, Miss Cat, sat by the fire, and did the cooking. When it became known that the old fox was dead, wooers presented themselves. The maid heard some one standing at the house-door, knocking. She went and opened it, and it was a young fox, who said,

"What may you be about, Miss Cat.?

Do you sleep or do you wake?"

She answered,

"I am not sleeping, I am waking,

Wouldst thou know what I am making?

I am boiling warm beer with butter so nice,

Will the gentleman enter and drink some likewise?"

"No, thank you, miss," said the fox, "what is Mrs. Fox doing?" The maid replied,

"She sits all alone,

And makes her moan,

Weeping her little eyes quite red,

Because old Mr. Fox is dead."

"Do just tell her, miss, that a young fox is here, who would like to woo her." "Certainly, young sir."

The cat goes up the stairs trip, trap,

The door she knocks at tap, tap, tap,

"Mistress Fox, are you inside?"

"Oh yes, my little cat," she cried.

"A wooer he stands at the door out there."

"Tell me what he is like, my dear?"

"But has he nine as beautiful tails as the late Mr. Fox?" "Oh, no," answered the cat, "he has only one."

"Then I will not have him." Miss Cat went downstairs and sent the wooer(求爱者) away. Soon afterwards there was another knock, and another fox was at the door who wished to woo Mrs. Fox. He had two tails, but he did not fare better than the first. After this still more came, each with one tail more than the other, but they were all turned away, until at last one came who had nine tails, like old Mr. Fox. When the widow heard that, she said joyfully to the cat,

"Now open the gates and doors all wide,

And carry old Mr. Fox outside."

But just as the wedding was going to be solemnized(隆重地庆祝), old Mr. Fox stirred under the bench, and cudgelled all the rabble, and drove them and Mrs. Fox out of the house.

3分钟少儿英语故事：小马过河

One day, a colt(小马，生手) carried a bag of wheat to the mill.

As he was running with the bag on his back, he came to a small river. Water went gurgling(作汩汩声) on. The colt could not decide whether he could cross it. Looking around, he saw a cowgrazing nearby. He asked, "Uncle Cow, could you tell me if I can cross the river?" The cow told him that he could and that the river was not very deep, just to his knees.

The colt was crossing the river when a squirrel jumped down a tree and stopped him. The squirrel shouted, "Colt, stop! You'll be drowned! One of my friends was drowned yesterday just in the river." Not knowing what to do, the colt went home to consult his mom.

He told his mom his experience on the way. His mother said, "My child, don't always listen to others. You'd better go and try yourself. Then you'll know what to do."

Just at the river, the squirrel stopped the colt again. "Little horse, it's too dangerous!" "No, I want to have a try by myself", answered the colt. Then he crossed the river carefully. On the other side of the river, the colt realized that the river was neither as shallow as the cow said nor as as deep as the squirrel told him.

The fable tells us a truth: real knowledge comes from practices.

3分钟少儿英语故事：The Scorpion and the Tortoise

A tortoise and scorpion had contracted a great intimacy(亲密), and bound themselves with such ties of friendship, that the one could not live without the other.

One day these inseparable companions, finding themselves obliged to change their habitation, traveled together; but in their meeting with a large and deep river, the scorpion making a stop, said to the tortoise:

"My dear friend, you are well provided for what we see before us, but how shall I get over this water?"

"Never trouble yourself, my dear friend, for that, " replied the Tortoise, "I will carry you upon my back secure from all danger."

On this, the scorpion, without hesitation, got upon the back of the tortoise, who immediately took water and began to swim. But he had hardly got half way across the river, when he heard a terrible rumbling upon his back, which made him ask the scorpion what he was doing.

"Doing!" replied the scorpion, "why, I am whetting(研磨) my sting, to try whether I can bore this horny cuirass(胸甲，铁甲) of yours, that covers yours flesh like a shield, from all injuries."

"Oh, ungrateful wretch, "cried the tortoise, "wouldst thou, at a time when I am giving thee such a demonstration of my friendship, wouldst thou at such a time,pierce with thy venomous sting, the defense that Nature has given me, and take away my life? It is well, however, I have it in my power both to save myself and reward thee as thou deservest. "

So saying, he sunk his back to some depth under water, threw off the scorpion, and left him to pay with his life for his monstrous ingratitude.
