　　適合小學生的英語故事：The Girl who Taught the World to Weave

　　This is a story of the time when humans first walked the earth. And in those days they did not wear clothes, for they did not know how to weave cloth.

　　One day, the god Matai decided to teach the art of weaving to one person. The god taught a girl called Hambrumai. And what were the designs the girl wove? She sat by the river side and saw the ripples and circles made by water. She wove the ripple pattern on cloth.

　　She spent days in the forest looking up at trees and the designs made by their branches. She saw patches of the sky between branches and wove in all those designs on cloth. She saw nature's patterns very clearly, be it in trees, water, flowers, or leaf. When she wore the cloth she wove, it was as if she was clothed in nature. She was beautiful. And many young men wanted to marry her.

　　One day, Hairum, the Porcupine, came to her cave to steal her cloth. As he tried to get inside the cave, he pushed a rock. The rock fell by the riverside, and crushed Hambrumai. It also broke the loom on which she used to weave cloth.

　　Parts of the loom fell into the river. They were carried by the water in its journey from the hills to the plains. Wherever people found a part of the loom, they learnt to weave. The Mishimis believe that the designs Hambrumai made, became butterflies.

　　To this day the patterns on butterflies' wings carry the designs the girl made. And people remember Hambrumai to this day as the girl who taught the world to weave.

　　適合小學生的英語故事：Prince Llewelyn and his dog Gelert

　　Prince Llywelyn of Gwynedd's favourite dog is Gelert, a fearless hunting dog and loyal friend and companion who was said to have been a gift from King John of England.

　　Llywelyn leaves his baby son with a nurse and a servant while he embarks on a hunting trip with his wife. The nurse and the servant go for a walk in the mountains leaving the baby alone and unprotected.

　　After a while Llywelyn notices that Gelert isn't with the hunting pack. Reasoning that the only place Gelert would go is back to the lodge, he calls off the hunt and heads back home.

　　As the party is dismounting, Gelert comes running out of the lodge towards his master, covered in blood and wagging his tail. The princess, calling her child's name, faints. Llewelyn rushes in to find the cradle overturned, the bloodstained bedclothes thrown all over the floor, and no sign of his son.

　　Filled with anger and grief he draws his sword against the dog. As Gelert dies, he whimpers and his cries are answered by the sound of a baby crying from behind the overturned cradle. Llewelyn pulls aside the cradle to find his son unharmed and the bloody body of a huge wolf next to him. Gelert had killed the wolf as it tried to attack Llewelyn's son.

　　From that day onwards Llewelyn never speaks again. Filled with remorse, he buries Gelert in a meadow nearby and marks the grave with a cairn of stones, though he could still hear its dying cries.

　　The village of Beddgelert ***Gelert's grave*** in North West Wales is thought to owe its name to the legend, although there is no evidence of the story having a historical basis.

　　適合小學生的英語故事：The Pardoner’s Tale

　　Some years ago, there was a group of young men who lived very badly. One Sunday they were sitting in a tavern instead of going to church. A man was killed by a thief called Death. The young men weren’t afraid and made a promise: if one of them was killed the other two will kill the murder.

　　One day they met an old and poor man who said to them that they could find Death under anoak. The three men ran down the crooked path towards the tree. When they found the oak he saw a huge pile of new gold coins. They immediately forgot all about Death.

　　The leader said that he must made a plan: they must take the gold away to his house as soon as possible. But they must take it away secretly at night. Therefore, one of the young men, went to the town to get bread and wine for them. When it was dark they carried the gold to one of their houses.

　　When the youngest had gone, the leader said to the other that he would kill him. The other agree. But the youngest was also thinking about the gold as he ran to the town. He wouldpoison his two companions. He puts the poison in two bottles of wine, but not in the third and went back to the tree.

　　The story finishes with the youngest stabbed and the other two poisoned.

　　適合小學生的英語故事：The First Woman

　　The story ***absurd enough!*** is that Jupiter made the first woman and sent her to Prometheus and his brother, to punish them for their presumption in stealing fire from heaven; and man, for accepting the gift. This first human of the fair sex was named Pandora. She was made in heaven, every god contributing something to perfect her. Venus gave her beauty, Mercurypersuasion, Apollo music, etc. Thus equipped, she was conveyed to earth and presented to Epimetheus, who gladly accepted her, though cautioned by his brother to beware of Jupiter and his gifts. Epimetheus had in his house a jar, in which were kept certain noxious articles, for which, in fitting man for his new adobe, he had had no occasion. Pandora was seized with an eager curiosity to know what this jar contained; and one day she slipped off the cover and looked in. Forthwith there escaped a multitude of plagues for hapless man -- such as gout, theumatism, and colic for his body, and envy, spite, and revenge for his mind -- and scattered themselves far and wide. Pandora hastened to replace the lid; but alas! the whole contents of the jar had escaped, one thing only excepted, which lay at the bottom, and that was hope. So we wee at this day, whatever evils are abroad, hope never entirely leaves us; and while we have that, no amount of other ills can make us completely wretched.

　　Another story is that Pandora was sent in good faith, by Jupiter, to bless man; that she was furnished with a box, containing her marriage blessing. She opened the box incautiously, and the blessing all escaped, hope only excepted. This story seems more probable than the former; for how hope, so precious a jewel as it is, have been kept in a jar full of all manner of evils, as in the former statement?
