关于经典英语故事：Fox and the Grapes

One hot summer day a fox was walking through an orchard. He stopped before a bunch of grapes. They were ripe and juicy。

"I'm just feeling thirsty," he thought. So he backed up a few paces, got a running start, jumped up, but could not reach the grapes。

He walked back. One, two, three, he jumped up again, but still, he missed the grapes。

The fox tried again and again, but never succeeded. At last he decided to give it up。

He walked away with his nose in the air, and said“I am sure they are sour。”

狐狸和葡萄

一个炎热的夏日，狐狸走过一个果园，他停在一大串熟透而多汁的葡萄前。

狐狸想：“我正口渴呢。”于是他后退了几步，向前一冲，跳起来，却无法够到葡萄。

狐狸后退又试。一次，两次，三次，但是都没有得到葡萄。

狐狸试了一次又一次，都没有成功。最后，他决定放弃，他昂起头，边走边说：“葡萄还没有成熟，我敢肯定它是酸的。”

寓意： 在经历了许多尝试而不能获得成功的时候，有些人往往故意轻视成功，以此来寻求心理安慰。

Union is strength.

一个农夫，家庭不和睦，用言语劝告大家和好，总是无效，最后他想，用实际例子可能容易说服他们。于是他把儿子都叫来，吩咐他们抱一捆火柴放在他的面前。他把火柴捆成一捆，接着叫这些孩子挨次拿起来折断它，一个个都试过了，但都没有折断，接着他解了捆，一根一根地给他们折，他们都轻而易举地折断了。这时父亲说："孩子们，只要我们团结一致，你们就能对付一切敌人;但是如果意见不合，各自东西，那么你们一定要失败。"

团结就是力量。
