He turned to the patient:“But you were in the wrong when you took the boat without asking the owner's permission.You were in the right because you were not so lazy as he was and you did not want to let the moonlit night go by without making some use of it.”
他又转向那位病人说：“但是，你未征得船主的许可便动用了他的船，在这点上你是不对的。你也有对的一面，因为你不像他那样懒惰，你不想让这月夜白白溜走而不去利用它。”

After I leave the zoo, he follows me to my house. I give him lettuce, cabbages, bananas, apples and other food. He eats them up. When I sing songs, he stays in the pool. He is as quite as a rabbit.

Making His Mark 刻舟求剑
A man from the state of Chu was taking a boat across a river when he dropped his sword into the water carelessly. Immediately he made a mark on the side of the boat where the sword dropped, hoping to find it later. When the boat stopped moving, he went into the water to search for his sword at the place where he had marked the boat. As we know, the boat had moved but the sword had not. Isn't this a very foolish way to look for a sword?
楚国有个人坐船渡江时，他不小心把自己的一把宝剑掉落江中。他马上掏出一把小刀，在宝剑落水的船舷上刻上一个记号。船靠岸后，那楚人立即从船上刻记号的地方跳下水去捞取掉落的宝剑。他怎么找得到宝剑呢?船继续行驶，而宝剑却不会再移动。像他这样去找剑，真是太愚蠢可笑了。
Draw a Snake and Add Feet to It 画蛇添足
Long long ago, several people had a jar of wine among them and all of them wanted to drink it by himself. So they set a rule that every one would draw a snake on the ground and the man who finished first would have the wine. One man finished his snake very soon and he was about to drink the wine when he saw the others were still busy drawing, so he decided to draw the feet to the snake. However, before he could finish the feet, another man finished and grabbed the jar from him, saying, "Who has ever seen a snake with feet?" The story of "Draw a snake and add feet to It." tells us going too far is as bad as not going far enough.
古时几个人分一壶酒。他们都想独自喝完那壶酒，所以就定了一个规矩：每人在地上画一条蛇，谁画得最快，这壶酒就归谁。有一个人很快就把蛇画好了。他正打算喝这壶酒时，看见别人都还在忙着画，就决定给蛇再画上几只脚。结果，他的蛇脚还没加完，另一个人已经把蛇画好了。那人一下把酒壶夺了过去，说："有谁见过长脚的蛇?"。这个故事告诉我们这样的道理：做得过分和做得不够都是不对的。

英文小故事、小短文：①The Dog And The Shadow 狗和它的影子 A DOG, crossing a bridge over a stream with a piece of flesh in his mouth, saw his own shadow in the water, and took it for that of another Dog, with a piece of meat double his own in size. He therefore let go his own, and fiercely attacked the other Dog, to get his larger piece from him. He thus lost both: that which he grasped at in the water, because it was a shadow; and his own, because the stream swept it away. 一条狗嘴里叼块肉，来到一座桥上.它看见水里有自己的影子， 以为是另一条嘴里也叼着一块比自己那块肉大一倍的狗.它忙丢下自己嘴里的那块肉，猛力地攻击水里的狗.试图去抢它的肉.结果，它两块肉都得不到. 因为那只是一个影子，它自己的影子而已.真正的肉也被水冲走了②Which do you find more important, money or friends? B: Friends, of course. A: Why? B: I can always borrow money from friends. 钱和朋友 甲：你认为钱和朋友哪一个更重要？ 乙：当然是朋友。
甲：为什么？ 乙：我总可以从朋友那儿借到钱③A boy cried to his mother, "All the children make fun of me. They say I have a big head." "Don't listen to them," his mother said, "You have a beautiful head. Now stop crying and go to the store to buy twenty pounds of patotoes." "Where is the shopping bag?" "I haven't got one-use your hat 大头娃娃 一个小男孩向他母亲哭诉道：“他们都取笑我，说我脑袋大。” “别听他们的，”他母亲安慰道，“你有一个很漂亮的脑袋。
好啦，别哭了，去商店买十斤土豆来。” “购物袋在哪儿？” “没购物袋了----就用你的帽子吧。”
④Everybody wishes (hopes) to get money so that he can maintain his livelihood. In other words, money is so useful that it is impossible for mankind to live without it. For this reason, we have an interesting proverb. It says “Money can make the world go around.” In a word, money is more powerful than anything else. However, money should not be wasted. It must be used for (some) proper purposes. We young men should form the good habit of not spending money in the wrong way. 每个人为了能够维持生活，所以都希望得到钱。换句话说，钱是非常有用，所以没有它人类即无法生活。
基于此种理由，我们有一句有趣的谚语。它说有“钱能使鬼推磨”。
一言以蔽之，钱比任何另外的东西更有力量。 然而，钱不应该被浪费掉。
它必须用于正当的用途上。我们青年人应该养成不乱花钱的好习惯。
⑤A bit of advice for those about to retire. If you are only 65, never move to a retirement community. Everybody else is in their 70s, 80s, or 90s. So when something has to be moved, lifted or loaded, they yell,'Get the kid.' 这里想对将要退休者提一点忠告。如果你只有65岁的话，千万别进退休社区。
因为那里人人都七八十岁或者八九十岁了。每当要搬东西，抬东西或者装东西时，他们就叫喊，“让小的干吧。”
⑥ "You are what you eat." Nutrition experts often use this saying to promote better eating habits. What we put in our mouths does become a part of us. But we can look at this statement another way. What we eat reflects who we are--as people and as a culture. Do you want to understand another culture? Then you ought to find out about its food. Learning about American food can give us a real taste of American culture. "你吃什么就成为什么样子"营养专家经常使用这句话来倡导更好的饮食习惯，入嘴的东西确实成为我们的一部分.但我们也可以从另一个角度来看这句话，我们所吃的反映出我们自己--不论就人或文化而言.你想了解另一种文化吗？那么你应该去认识他们的食物.认识美国食物可以让我们得知美国文化的精髓。⑦Americans on the go also tend to eat a lot of "junk food." Potato chips, candy bars, soft drinks and other goodies are popular treats. Many people eat too many of these unhealthy snacks. But others opt for more healthy eating habits. Some even go "all natural." They refuse to eat any food prepared with chemicals or additives. 忙碌的美国人也趋向于吃一大堆「垃圾食物」。
洋芋片、糖果、汽水和其它好吃的东西都颇受欢迎。许多人吃了太多这类不健康的零嘴，但是其它人则选择较健康的饮食习惯，有些人甚至选择「全天然」的食物，他们拒绝吃任何有化学制品或添加物的食物。

*想了解地球上动物的和谐程度和生存现状，于是把自己变成一只老虎。
*在调研途中发现路边躺着一只伤痕累累、气息微弱的羊。经过询问，*得知羊被狼所伤，于是深表同情，承诺可以满足羊的三个愿望。
羊使劲抬起头，用感激的眼神看着*说：“我想变成一只狼！”
*指着地上浑身是血的羊说：“变！”濒临死亡的羊，一下子变成了一只凶暴强悍的狼。
于是，*带上狼跟随自己一起**。刚刚走出几十米远，狼发现前面山坳有一群正低头吃草的羊，它狼性大发，毫不犹豫地扑了上去……看着满嘴毛和血的狼，*诘问狼为什么要猎杀自己同类。狼坦诚反问*：“我现在是狼不是羊，是狼就要吃肉，吃谁的肉不都一样吗？”
*摇了摇头，表情复杂地引着狼继续朝森林深处走去。
*所到之处，森林里大小动物或纷纷避让，或热情欢迎，或阿谀奉承。狼看着前面威风凛凛万人敬仰的*，心里不免失去平衡，于是它迫不及待地说出了第二个愿望：“我要变成一只老虎。”谅你不至于同类相残，*犹豫片刻之后，满足了羊的第二个愿望，羊由狼变成了一只跟*一样威震山林雄霸一方的山大王——老虎。
老虎跟在*后面继续巡山。老虎看着走在前面的*，越看越不顺眼，几欲偷袭扑杀，无奈胜算不大心存恐惧，只好忍气吞声忍辱负重。有道是“一山不容二虎”，今日有你无我，有我无你，老虎苦思冥想计上心来，于是向*提出了第三个愿望。
“君子一言，驷马难追。”听到老虎提出的第三个愿望，*显得有些为难，但转而一想，自己是*，*不能失信于动物。于是*犹豫片刻，仰天长啸：“变——”顿时狂风大作，树叶飘飞，动物遁藏，霎时一位健壮魁梧、荷枪实弹的猎人站立在*面前。
当猎人黑洞洞的枪口对着自己脑袋的时候，*突然意识到自己还是一只普普通通的老虎，情急之下慌忙把自己变回万能的*，怒指凶相毕露的猎人大吼三声：“变——变——变！”猎人立马变成老虎，然后由老虎变成狼，最后由狼还原成那只遍体鳞伤垂死挣扎的羊。
*心有余悸冷汗涔涔，后悔在没有准确掌握动物“畜性”的情况下，不该轻易许愿，贸然行事。

狼和看家狗
一只狼和一条看家狗在一个月夜相逢。狼又瘦又饿，几乎不知道怎么办才好，而狗却油光肥胖。“你是怎么回事，朋友，”狼说，“会过得这么好，弄到这么多吃的？”
“怎么，那很容易。如果你愿意干我于的活儿，你也能像我这样吃得饱。”“我愿意干任何活儿，”
狼说，“只要我能不挨饿。你干的是什么活儿？”“晚上给我的主人看家，把一切小偷赶走。”“这我能干，”狼说。
“我跟你去，立即就去服役。”他们向前走的时候，狼注意到他这个伙伴的脖子上有个东西，便充满了好奇。“你戴着的是什么？”
“噢！算不了什么；”狗说，“服役的标记。”“是的，不过，”狼坚持着问，“究竟是什么，有什么用？”“那不过是个颈圈，拴我的锁链。”“什么？”狼说，“一条锁链！那你不是自由的了？”
“是的，不自由，不经常有自由，”狗说，“白天，有时候他们把我拴起来。不过到了晚上我就自由了。得想想我得到的那些食物。”“不，谢谢你，”狼说着，转身就走。“我宁可自由自在地在森林里挨饿，也不做吃得很饱而拴着锁链的奴隶。”有一些人也不愿意接受奴役。
4、幼儿园的寓言故事
在一个美丽的秋天里，落叶纷纷。
森林深处有一间小木屋，里面住着一位白发苍苍的老爷爷，小木屋显得独一无二，因为孤身一人的老爷爷，经营着森林里的水果铺。和蔼善良让老爷爷的生意不错，森林里的小动物都喜欢光顾他的小店，也喜欢和老爷爷一起晒晒太阳，聊聊天。它们给老爷爷带来的森林里种种有趣的事情，常常把老爷爷逗笑得胡子都飞了起来，生活再也不会像秋天的落叶一样孤零零。
当然，偶尔也有可怜的小猫、小鹿们来讨白食。这个时候，老爷爷总是会慷慨地准备很多丰盛的食物招待它们。它们从来不用担心在老爷爷这里会招白眼、受冷落。渐渐地，老爷爷的小木屋成了森林里的爱心小屋。
在这些讨白食的小动物中，有一只白色的小流浪猫已经来这里“作客”了整整一年了。它和老爷爷相依为命，相处得像父女一样，老爷爷悉心照料着小流浪猫，白天逗它玩，晚上哄它睡，一家人的日子过得比蜜还甜。直到小白猫找到自己的“黑猫王子”，老爷爷才依依不舍地把它嫁了出去。
有道是，天有不测风云。有一天凌晨，天色未开，森林里小生灵们都还沉浸在美好的梦乡中。老爷爷的小木屋突然起火了，火势蔓延得很快，转眼间变成了熊熊大火，哔哔啪啪的声音传出很远很远，小木屋随时有可能会坍塌下来了。但更可怕的是，老爷爷年纪大了，耳朵重了，竟然一点儿也没觉察到，仍在沉沉酣睡中……眼看一场悲剧就要发生了，就在这千钧一发之际，那只小流浪猫这时不知从哪里窜出来，火光映照出它肥大笨重的肚子——它已经怀孕了。小流浪猫来到小木屋前，焦急地冲着小木屋大声叫唤，但老爷爷依旧毫无知觉，冲天的火焰中，小流浪猫奋不顾身弓起身窜进火海中，来到老爷爷的床前，又叫又拽地唤醒了沉睡中的老爷爷。
一场灾难终于过去了，老爷爷幸运地逃了出来。大火把小木屋烧得干干净净。可是，在冒着缕缕黑烟的废墟中，老爷爷找来找去，不放过任何一个角落，就是怎么也找不到那只小猫……
不久，老爷爷在原先小木屋的旁边，又建起了一座新的木屋，仍旧操起他的老营生，开着水果铺。现在老爷爷照顾生意之余，常怀感恩之心，更精心照顾那些来讨白食的小动物。更多的时候，他常常情不自禁地想起那只小流浪猫。他有时幻想着，小木屋前，会突然响起小流浪猫来讨白食的叫唤声，那该有多好啊！
这一天午后，阳光慵懒地晒着小屋，老爷爷正在屋里打盹儿，半梦半醒中，他依稀听到有小猫的叫声，老爷爷以为在做梦。没想到，小屋前，那只流浪猫竟出现在老爷爷的视线中，它的身后，还跟着两只正相互追逐的可爱的猫咪宝宝。老爷爷一下子睁大眼睛，狠狠地掐了自己一下，哈哈，不是在做梦，他的小恩猫又回来了。
现在，老爷爷与小猫一家幸福地生活在一起。每当望着在阳光下自由嬉戏的猫妈妈和猫宝宝，老爷爷在心里满足地告诉自己：“这真是*的礼物！”
