　　經典英語故事：海盜的寶藏

　　"Ten steps from the porch and twenty steps from the rose bushes," growled Bluebeard in Jimmy's dream one night. "There be treasure there! Aawrgh."

　　So the next day Jimmy began to dig. He dug until the hole was deep and the dirt pile was high.

　　He kept digging. The hole got deeper and the dirt pile got higher.

　　He dug until the hole was deepest and the dirt pile was at its highest. He sighed. "I'm too tired. I can't dig anymore." Then he spied something...

　　...but it was only one of Woofy's bones. Instead of treasure, all Jimmy had was a dog bone, a hole, and a big pile of dirt to fill it in with. He thought "That pirate lied to me!"

　　But when Jimmy's mother saw what he had done, she clasped her hands and smiled a smile from here to Sunday. "Oh, thank you, Jimmy. I always wanted a rhododendron bush planted just there. Here's $5.00 for digging that hole."

　　“距離走廊十步，玫瑰花叢20步的地方，”一天夜裡藍鬍子在吉米的夢裡咆哮道，“那裡有珍寶!”

　　所以第二天，吉米開始挖。他一直挖，直到坑很深了，挖出的土堆得很高了。

　　他不停地挖。坑越來越深，土越堆越高。

　　他一直挖，直到坑已經非常深，土堆得非常高。他嘆了口氣：“我太累了。我不能再挖了。”然後他開始搜尋。

　　但是除了一塊伍菲的骨頭，他什麼也沒找到。吉米所得到的僅僅是一塊狗啃的骨頭，一個坑還有一大堆土，而不是財寶。他想：“那個海盜欺騙了我!”

　　但當吉米的媽媽看到他所做的一切，她高興得拍手。從那時一直拍到星期天。“哦，謝謝你，吉米。我一直以來都想在那裡栽一叢杜鵑花。這5美元獎勵你挖那個坑。”

　　經典英語故事：聰明的熊貓

　　A little panda picks up a pumpkin and wants to take it home. But the pumpkin is too big. The panda can’t take it home.

　　一隻小熊貓摘了一隻大南瓜，想把它拿回家。但是這隻南瓜太大了，她沒有辦法把這麼大的南瓜帶回家。

　　Suddenly she sees a bear riding a bike toward her. She watches the bike. “I know! I have a good idea.” she jumps and shouts happily, “I can roll a pumpkin. It’s like a wheel.”

　　突然她看見一隻狗熊騎著一輛自行車朝她這邊來。她看著自行車，跳著說：“有了!我有辦法了。我可以把南瓜滾回家去。南瓜好像車輪。

　　So she rolls the pumpkin to her home. When her mother sees the big pumpkin, she is surprised, “Oh, my God! How can you carry it home?” the little panda answers proudly, “I can’t lift it, but I can roll it.” Her mother smiled and says，“What a clever girl!”

　　於是她把那瓜滾回家。當她媽媽看到這隻大南瓜的時候，很驚訝：“天啊!這麼食的南瓜!你是怎麼把它帶回家來的?”小熊貓自豪地說;“我拎不動它，可是我能滾動它啊!”她媽媽微笑著說：“真聰明啊!”

　　經典英語故事：狼與小羊

　　WOLF, meeting with a Lamb astray from the fold, resolved not to lay violent hands on him, but to find some plea to justify to the Lamb the Wolf's right to eat him. He thus addressed him:"Sirrah, last year you grossly insulted me." "Indeed," bleated the Lamb in a mournful tone of voice, "I was not then born." Then said the Wolf , "You feed in my pasture." "No, good sir," replied the Lamb, "I have not yet tasted grass." Again said the Wolf, "You drink of my well." "No," exclaimed the Lamb, "I never yet drank water, for as yet my mother's milk is both food and drink to me." Upon which the Wolf seized him and ate him up, saying, "Well! I won't remain supperless, even though you refute every one of my imputations."

　　The tyrant will always find a pretext for his tyranny.

　　一隻小羊在河邊喝水，狼見到後，便想找一個名正言順的藉口吃掉他。於是他跑到上游，惡狠狠地說小羊把河水攪渾濁了，使他喝不到清水。小羊回答說，他僅僅站在河邊喝水，並且又在下游，根本不可能把上游的水攪渾。狼見此計不成，又說道：“我父親去年被你罵過。”小羊說，那時他還沒有出生。狼對他說：“不管你怎樣辯解，反正我不會放過你。”

　　這說明，對惡人做任何正當的辯解也是無效的。
