少儿英语故事:狐狸和老虎
　　The Fox and the Tiger(狐狸和老虎) 　　An Archer, hunting in the woods, was so successful with his arrows that he killed many of the wild animals. This frightened the rest so much that they ran into the densest part of the bushes to hide. At last the Tiger stood up, and pretending to be very brave, told the other animals not to be afraid anymore, but to rely on his courage, and he would attack the enemy on his own. While he was talking, and lashing his tail and tearing at the ground with his claws to impress the others, an arrow came and pierced his ribs. The Tiger howled with pain. 　　While he was trying to draw out the arrow with his teeth the Fox went up to him and asked, in surprise, whoever had the strength and courage to wound such a brave and mighty beast as the Tiger? 　　"Nay," said the Tiger, "I misjudged my enemy. It was that unbeatable man over there!"MORAL: Knowledge is power. 　　译文:一个射手正在森林里打猎。他的箭法好极了，射死了许多野兽。这可大大地吓坏了余下的动物，它们都跑到茂盛的灌木丛中躲藏起来。后，老虎站了起来，装着非常勇敢的样子叫其余的动物相信它的勇 敢，不必再害怕。它将独个儿向敌人进攻。它一边说着，一边甩动着它的尾巴，并用它的爪子刨着地上的泥土，想使别人更信任它。就在这时，一枝箭飞来，刺穿了他的肋骨，老虎顿时痛得吼叫起来。 正当它尽 力用牙齿拔出身上的箭时，狐狸走上前来吃惊地问道:“谁能有这样的力气和胆量来伤害象老虎这样勇敢而强有力的野兽呢？” 　　“不，”老虎说，“我错误地判断了我的敌人，是那边那个不可战胜的人打败了我。” 　　寓意:知识就是力量。
　　The Old Cat(老猫) 　　An old woman had a cat. The cat was very old; she could not run quickly, and she could not bite, because she was so old. One day the old cat saw a mouse; she jumped and caught the mouse. But she could not bite it; so the mouse got out of her mouth and ran away, because the cat could not bite it. 　　Then the old woman became very angry because the cat had not killed the mouse. She began to hit the cat. The cat said, "Do not hit your old servant. I have worked for you for many years, and I would work for you still, but I am too old. Do not be unkind to the old, but remember what good work the old did when they were young."
译文:一位老妇有只猫，这只猫很老，它跑不快了，也咬不了东西，因为它年纪太大了。一天，老猫发现一只老鼠，它跳过去抓这只老鼠，然而，它咬不住这只老鼠。因此，老鼠从它的嘴边溜掉了，因为老猫咬 不了它。 　　于是，老妇很生气，因为老猫没有把老鼠咬死。她开始打这只猫，猫说:“不要打你的老仆人，我已经为你服务了很多年，而且还愿意为你效劳，但是，我实在太老了，对年纪大的不要这么无情，要记住老年人 在年青时所做过的有益的事情。”
