初中校园英语故事:鲍西丝和费莱蒙
As was the common practice with the gods of Olympus, Zeus and Hermes were visiting the world in disguise.
One day they came to a village. At a thousand houses they knocked, and a thousand times they were refused rest and food and drink. At last they arrived at a humble cottage, where the old couple Baucis and her husband Philemon lived. Poor but at peace with world, they made the best of what life could offer them, and felt truly grateful to the gods above. When the two travellers entered the hut, the old couple were glad with lively happiness. They offered their guests their best seat, and immediately set about preparing dinner for them. With no small difficulty they made fire, brought in a fresh cabbage, cut a fat piece of their long kept meat and put them over the fire to cook. The one single goose they were ready to kill for the visitors, but it was saved at the last minute by the guests. The dining bench was a makeshift(临时的), poor and patched but the best they had. The table was supported by a brick. The feast was quite modest, eggs and wine and cottage cheese, and a variety of newly picked fruit. The old couple humblywaited on the visiting guests with sincere looks and eager goodwill.
Moved at the hospitality ofthe house, the gods told their true identity. "We are gods", saidZeus. "While the neighbourhood pays the penalty for its wickedness you shall be free from misfortune. Coming along with us". When they were near the top of the hill, Bancis and Philemon looked back and saw all the village below covered by a marsh(沼泽,湿地), and that among the general ruin and destruction their old cottage alone survived, changed into a grand temple. At their request they were made the guardians of the sacred place of Zeus. When their span of worldly life came to an end they were turned into an ash and linden, standing side by side in front of the temple.
初中校园英语故事:公主的水泡项链
There once was a princess who lived in a palace and had all kinds of pearls, agates(玛瑙)and other gems. Being an only daughter, she was pampered(纵容) by the king and queen, and was never in need of anything.
One day, as she was watching the rain from her balcony, the raindrops hit the surface of the nearby lake, creating myriads(无数) of bubbles that glittered in beautiful colors whenilluminated by the sunbeams. Enchanted by this spectacle, the princess said to the king, "I want a necklace made of these bubbles!"
"That cannot be! If you want pearls, I can get you bigger ones. All right?" said the king.
"No! No!" exclaimed the princess.
"If you will settle for diamonds, I can also give you plenty," said the king. But the princess refused to be compromised.
You know there's no way you can coax(哄诱) such spoiled children, and being at a complete loss, the king summoned his officials, but no one could offer a solution. No one knew how to satisfy the princess's adamant(固执的) demand for the bubbles. She then cried loudly and made a big fuss, refusing to eat or drink. Very soon, she became emaciated(憔悴的) and fell ill. Everyone was at their wits' end. Not even the best doctor in the country could cure her. As a last resort, the king issued a public decree, stating, "Whoever can cure the princess will receive half of His Majesty's kingdom."
Then one day, an old man came forward with a solution and the king let him in to see the princess. When the old man told the princess that he could realize her wish by making her a bubble necklace, she jumped up in delight and her illness vanished immediately. Then the old man said, "I am old and my eyes are failing me. I cannot see which bubble is more beautiful. Would Your Highness please go down and bring me the beautiful bubbles so that I can string them into a necklace for you?"
The two of them - the old man and the child thus beguiled - went together to the lakeside. The princess tried in vain to hold the bubbles in her hands, while, afraid to laugh out loud (laughter), the palace maids by their side snickered stealthily. Embarrassed, the princess said to the king, "Father, I don't want these bubbles anymore. I'm content with pearls and diamonds. I cannot hold these bubbles." Looking at his lovely daughter, the king replied, "You're right! They are merely bubbles." They then returned to the palace, with the princess fully cured.
