Once upon a time, there were four mice that lived in a wall in the field.
Summer was coming, and so the mice came out of the wall to collect berries, nuts, corn and straw. Everyone was working very hard, day and night.
Everyone was working very hard, except, Frederick.
“Why aren’t you working, Frederick?” his friends asked him. “oh,but I am.” Frederick told them. “I’m collecting the sunshine for the cold, dark winter.”
A few days later his friends asked him again “why aren’t you working,Frederick?” “Oh, but I am.” Frederick told them. “I’m collecting colors for the long, grey winter.”
A few days later his friends asked him again “why aren’t you working, Frederick?” “Oh, but I am.” Frederick told them. “I’m collecting words for the long, quiet winter.”
Soon, the first snow came, and the four mice went back into the wall.
They ate their berries and they ate their nuts and they ate their corn and they ate their straw. But time passed, and time passed, and soon there were no more berries, and soon there were no more nuts and soon there were no more corn and soon there were no more straw.
Now the winter was cold and dark, long and quiet. The mice were sad and hungry. Then they remembered Frederick.
“Hey, Frederick, can you show us what you collected for the winter.”
“Ok,” said Frederick, “close your eyes. Here is my sunshine for the cold, dark inter.” And Frederick began to tell his friends some stories, and the mice to feel warmer and warmer.
“Great, Frederick! How about the colors and the words?”
“Ok,” said Frederick, “close your eyes” and he told them about theblue skies, and he told them about the red poppies, and he told them about thegreen grass, and he told them about the purple berries, and he told them about theyellow corn of summer.
“That’s wonderful, Frederick, thank you.” Said the mice. “We’ve learnedsomething about you”, they told him.
What do you think they learned?
很久以前，在田野中的一筑围墙里住着四只老鼠。
夏天来了，老鼠们走出墙外去收集浆果、坚果、玉米粒和稻草。他们从早到晚玩
努力工作，除了弗雷德里克。
“弗雷德里克，你为什么不工作？”他的朋友们问他。“我在工作吖。”弗雷德里克说,"我在为寒冷的深冬收集阳光呢。”
几天过后，他的朋友们再一次问道，“弗雷德里克，你为什么不工作？”他的朋友们问他。“我在工作吖。”弗雷德里克说,"我在为漫长的灰白色冬天收集色彩呢。”
几天过后，他的朋友们再一次问道，“弗雷德里克，你为什么不工作？”他的朋友们问他。“我在工作吖。”弗雷德里克说,"我在为漫长寂静的冬天收集言语呢。”
很快，第一场雪就到了，四只老鼠回到了洞中。他们吃着浆果、坚果、玉米粒和稻草。但是随着时间的推移，他们没有浆果、坚果、玉米粒和稻草这些吃的东西了。
现在冬天又冷又黑暗，漫长又寂静。老鼠们饥肠辘辘。这时候他们想起了弗雷德里克。
“嘿，弗雷德里克，能给我们看看你为冬天收集的东西吗？”
"好的,"弗雷德里克说，“闭上你们的眼睛。这里有我为寒冷冬天收集的阳光。”
接着弗雷德里克为他的朋友们讲故事，小老鼠们感觉越来越温暖起来。
“ 很好，弗雷德里克！那么色彩和语言呢？”
"好的,"弗雷德里克说，“闭上你们的眼睛。他开始给他们夏天蓝色的天空、红色的花、绿色的小草、紫色的浆果和黄色的玉米粒。
“太棒了，弗雷德里克，谢谢你。”小老鼠们说道。“我们跟你学到了很多东西。”

简单英语故事带翻译：井底之蛙【3】
It said to a turtle that lived in the East Sea, "I am so happy! When I go out, I jump about on the railing beside the mouth of the well. When I come home, I rest in the holes on the broken wall of the well. If I jump into the water, it comes up to my armpits and holds up my cheeks. If I walk in the mud, it covers up my feet. I look around at the wriggly worms, crabs and tadpoles, and none of them can compare with me. Moreover, I am lord of this trough of water and I stand up tall in this shallow well. My happiness is full. My dear sir, why don't you come often and look around my place?"
Before the turtle from the East Sea could get its left foot in the well, its right knee got stuck. It hesitated and retreated. The turtle told the frog about the East Sea. "Even a distance of a thousand li cannot give you an idea of the sea's width; even a height of a thousand ren cannot give you an idea of its depth. In the time of King Yu of the Xia dynasty, there were floods nine years out of ten, but the waters in the sea did not increase. ln the time of King Tang of the Shang dynasty there were droughts seven years out of eight, but the waters in the sea did not decrease. The sea does not change along with the passage of time and its level does not rise or fall according to the amount of rain that falls.
The greatest happiness is to live in the East Sea."
After listening to these words, the frog of the shallow well was shocked into realization of his own insignificance and became very ill at ease.
它对从东海中来的大鳖说：“我多么快乐啊！出去玩玩，就在井口的栏杆上蹦蹦跳跳，回来休息就蹲在残破井壁的砖窟窿里休息休息；跳进水里，水刚好托着我的胳肢窝和面颊；踩泥巴时，泥深只能淹没我的两脚，漫到我的脚背上。回头看一看那些赤虫、螃蟹与蝌蚪一类的小虫吧，哪个能同我相比哪一天！并且，我独占一坑水，在井上想跳就跳，想停就停，真是快乐极了！您为什么不常来我这里参观参观呢？”
海鳖左脚还没踏进井里，右腿已被井壁卡住了。于是，它在井边徘徊了一阵就退回来了，把大海的景像告诉青蛙，说道：“千里的确很远，可是它不能够形容海的辽阔；千仞的确很高，可是它不能够控明海的深度。夏禹的时候，10年有9年水灾，可是海水并不显得增多；商汤时，8年有7年天旱，可是海水也不显得减少。永恒的大海啊，不随时间的长短而改变，也不因为雨量的多少而涨落。这才是住在东海里最大快乐啊！”
浅井的青蛙听了这一番话，惶恐不安，两眼圆睁睁地好像失了神。深深感到自己的渺小。
简单英语故事：月亮与井【4】
One cold night the king called Nasreddin to him and said, "If you're able to spend this night in the courtyard with only your shirt on, I will give you one hundred gold coins!"
In the courtyard Nasreddin saw a stone mill. He began to push it around, faster and faster. When dawn came, he was sweating all over himself.
The king got up and was surprised to see Nasreddin in high sprits. The king hated to lose one hundred gold coins, so he asked, "Was there a moon last night?"
"Yes."
"Then our bargain is off," said the king. "If there was a moon, it was warm. In that case even I could have spent the night outside!"
A few months later, the king and his men went hunting. It was hot summer and at the edge of the desert it was like a furnace. The king and his men were dying of thirst.
They turned toward Nasreddin's house in the hope of getting some water. Nasreddin was sitting in the edge of his well when he heard the voice of the king, "Nasreddin, bring some fresh water! Be quick and serve us!"
"Please make yourself at home," said Nasreddin.
"Where is the water?" cried the king.
"Right here, Your Majesty, you see?" Nasreddin pointed to the well.
"You only show me the water but don't give me a drink!" fumed the king.
"Your Majesty, if the rays of the moon can warm a person, the sight of water can satisfy his thirst."
国王把纳斯雷丁叫到他的身边说：“要是你能只穿一件衬衣在院子里度过这一夜，我就送给你一百枚金币！”
纳斯雷丁在院子里看到一盘石磨，便开始推着石磨转，越转越快。当黎明来临时，他汗流浃背。
国王起床后，看到纳斯雷丁精神抖擞，就吃了一惊。国王不愿意失去一百枚金币，就问：“昨晚有月亮吗？”
“有。”
“那我们的交易无效，”国王说。“要是有月亮，天就很暖和。在那种情况下，就是我也能在外面过夜！”
几个月后，国王和他的随从们去打猎。那是一个炎热的夏天，在沙漠的边缘，天热得像火炉一样。国王和随从们渴得要死。
他们转身向纳斯雷丁家走去，希望搞点水喝。纳斯雷丁正坐在井沿上，突然听到国王的声音：“纳斯雷丁，端些干净水！快来伺候我们！”
“请不要拘束，”纳斯雷丁说。
“水在哪里？”国王叫道。
“陛下，就在这里，你看到了吧？”纳斯雷丁指着井说。
“你只是让我看了水，却没有让我喝！”国王发怒说。
“陛下，要是月亮的光线能给人温暖，那看看水也能解渴。”

One day the wolf said to the fox, "You go home and lie in bed. I'll tell the rabbit that you are dead. When he comes to look at you, you can jump up and catch him." That's a good idea," said the fox.
He went home at once. The wolf went to the rabbit's house and knocked at the door. "Who is it?" asked the rabbit. "It's the wolf. I've come to tell you that the fox is dead." Then the wolf went away.
The rabbit went to the fox's house. He looked in through the window and saw the fox lying in bed with his eyes closed. He thought, "Is the fox really dead or is he pretending to be dead? If he's not dead, he'll catch me when I go near him." so he said, "The wolf says that the fox is dead. But he doesn't look like a dead fox. The mouth of a dead fox is always open." When the fox heard this, he thought, "I'll show him that I'm dead." So he opened his mouth.
The rabbit knew that the fox wasn't dead, and he ran as quickly as he could.

于是他立刻回到家。狼去兔子的房前敲了敲门，“是谁啊？”兔子问道。“狼，我是来告诉你狐狸已经死了。”说完狼就走开了。兔子去狐狸家看情况。他通过狐狸家的窗户看到闭着眼睛的狐狸躺在床上。他想，狐狸是真的死了，还是在假装呢？如果他没有死，那么我走近他就会被他抓住。于是他说：“狼说狐狸死了。但是他看起来并不像死掉了呀。死去的狐狸通常都是张着嘴的。”狐狸听到这些话就想：我得证明自己是真的死了。于是他张开了嘴巴。
这时兔子知道狐狸并没有死，他就以最快的速度跑开啦。
