儿童英语故事：符艾相争

One day, the peachwood charm against evil hung on the door turned its face upward to curse the figure made of Chinese mugwort: "Who do you think you are to dare to set yourself over my head?"

The figure of Chinese mugwort, unwilling1 to be outdone, looked down and retorted: "It is summer now. You have only half a year to go, and can't live long. Why squabble over who is higher or who is lower?"

The peachwood charm was beside itself with rage, and answered back sarcastically2. Both sides refused to give in, and squabbled endlessly with a stream of abuse against each other.

At this moment, the deity3 of the door came to mediate4: "It is only because we have no ability that we have to attach ourselves to the door of others. What's the point of quarrelling with each other?"

一天，挂在门上的桃符仰起了脸，大骂艾草人：“你这个艾草人算什么东西，胆敢高踞在我的头上!”

艾草人不甘示弱，低头还嘴，说道：“现在已经是夏天了，你只有半年了，活不了多长时间了，还争什么高低呢?”

桃符怒不可遏，反唇相讥。它们互相不服气，彼此骂不绝口，争吵不休。

这时候，门神出来劝解说：“我们都是因为没有什么本事，才依附在别人的门下，还争什么强，斗什么气呢?”

儿童英语故事：兔死狐悲

Once, a fox and a hare became friends with the purpose of defending themselves against their joint1 enemy, the hunters, and made an oath to each other: to the same life and death, through thick and thin. One day, they were enjoying the natural beauty together in the fields when a party of hunters came and shot the hare dead. The fox had a narrow escape. After the hunters had gone, the fox came and wept over the death of his mate.

An elderly gentleman who happened to pass by was surprised at the scene. Curiously2, he asked the fox the reason of her bitter weeping.

The fox sorrowfully replied: "We are small animals. Being the prey3 of hunters, we had planned to defend ourselves against our joint enemy, the hunters, and promised to share life and death through thick and thin. Now our enemy has killed my companion. His death may mean the death of me tomorrow. We are real friends and real friends must share everything. How could I not help weeping!"

"Oh, I see. You have good reasons to weep over the death of such a partner," exclaimed the elderly gentleman.

The idiom, "The fox is sad at the death of the hare," comes from the story above, illustrating4 how one feels sad for the death or misfortunes of his companions.

从前，一只兔子和一只狐狸为对付共同的敌人——猎人，彼此联盟发誓：要同生死，共患难。一天，他们正在田野里享受大自然的美景，不料一群猎人突然前来，一箭就射死了兔子，狐狸也险遭不测。猎人走后，狐狸就跑到兔子身旁，哀泣悲悼。

有个长者经过，看见狐狸在兔子旁边哭泣，觉得奇怪，就问狐狸哭泣的原因。

狐狸悲哀地说：“我和兔子同样是微小的动物，是猎人捕猎的对象。我们相约共同对敌，共生死，同患难。现在我的同盟被猎人射死，他今日的死亡，意味着我明天的死亡。我们是真正的朋友，我哪能不伤心哭泣呢!”

成语“兔死狐悲”就源自这个故事，表示因同类的死亡或不幸而感到悲伤。

儿童英语故事：野蛮的猪

In the wild wild would lived a wild wild pig, and he was very fierce.

There were other animals in the wild wild wood - ponies1, deer and squirrels. The ponies and deer liked the grass under the oak trees, the squirrels like the acorns2(橡树果), but wild wild pig drove them away - he wasn't going to share his grass. In fact, he was so fierce that the others left the forest.

After a while wild wild pig set off to find the ponies, the deer, the squirrels and the birds. He came out of the wood and set off down the lane. He hadn't gone far when he saw a bull in a field. Pushing through the hedge wild wild pig went into the field. He snorted, he stamped, he looked very fierce and cried, "I am wild wild pig, I live in the forest!"

"I am wild wild bull and I live in this field!" roared the bull, and lowering his head he tossed wild wild pig back into the lane.

Sadly, wild wild pig went on until he came to a pond. Some geese were by the pond. "I am wild wild pig" He got no further, the geese stretched out their necks, flapped their wings and hissed3. They drove wild wild pig away from the pond.

"Oh dear!" he thought. "What nasty creatures," and turning round he went back to the wood, a fierce pig no longer.

The birds and animals soon came back when they found that wild wild pig had learned his lesson. Now they all live happily together.
