英语寓言童话故事1:The mouse
A philosophical mouse spoke loudly in praise of nature's goodness for having made the mice such particular objects of her concern and protection.
"For," she said, "one half of us is provided by her with wings, so that if all here below were killed by cats, she could easily restore our extinguished race by means of the bats."
The good little mouse didn't know that there were also flying cats and thus does our pride chiefly rest on ignorance.

英语寓言童话故事3:The ass and a lap-dog
A man had an ass and lovely lap-dog.
The ass was left in a stable, and had plenty of oats and day to eat, just as any other ass would. The lap-dog knew many tricks, and was a great favourite with his master.
The master seldom went out to dine or to super without bringing him something nice to eat when he jumped about him in a pleasant manner.
The ass, on the contrary, had much work to do, in grinding the corn-mill and in carrying wood from the forest or burdens from the farm,. He often co plained about his own hard fate, and contrasted it with the luxury and idleness of the lap-dog.
At last one day he broke the chain and ran into his master's house, kicking up his heels without measuring and jumping as well as he could, he next tried to jump about his master as he had seen the lap-dog do, but he broke the table, and smashed all the dishes on it to pieces.
He then tried to lick his master, and jumped upon his back. The servants hearing the strange noise, and imagining the danger of his master, quickly helped him out of the situation and drove out the ass to his stable, with kicks and beatings.
The ass, as he returned to his stall beaten nearly to death, thus cried and said sadly, "I have brought it all on myself! Why could I not have beencontented to labour with my companions, and not wish to be idle all the day like that useless little alp-dog".
