短篇英文童话故事 井蛙之乐 A frog lived in a shallow well. One day, it met beside the well a large soft-shelled turtle which had just crawled up from the sea. The frog bragged1 to the turtle: Look, how happy I am to live here! When I feel glad, I would bounce for a while near the well; and when I am tired, I would return to the well to sleep and rest for a while by the brick hole. Sometimes, I would quietly soak my whole body in the water, showing only my head and mouth. Sometimes, I would stroll in the soft mud, which is very comfortable. None of those tiny crabs2 and tadpoles3 can compare with me. I am the master of this well, free and unrestrained. Why dont you come often to play in the well? Hearing this, the turtle was itching4 to go down to take a look. But before he put his left foot into the well, his right foot stumbled. He quickly retreated two steps and told the frog about the sea: Have you ever seen the sea? The sea is very, very wide, over 1,000 1i. The sea is very, very deep, over 1,000 zhang 3/3 metres. In ancient times, in nine years out of ten there were floods, but the water in the sea did not rise much. Later, in seven years out of eight there were droughts, but the water in the sea did not drop much. Neither big floods nor big droughts can affect the sea. Only living in the sea can you feel real happiness! Amazed at what the big turtle had said, the frog was dumbstruck. 一只青蛙住在一口浅井里。 有一天青蛙在井边碰上了一只刚从海里爬上来的大鳖。 青蛙对大鳖夸口说“你看我住在这里多么快乐!高兴了就在井边跳跃一阵子疲倦了就回到井里睡在砖洞边上休息一会儿。有时候我静静地把全身泡在水里只露出头和嘴巴有时候在软绵绵的泥浆里散散步也很舒服。那些螃琪和蛾鲜它们谁也比不上我。我是这个井的主人自由自在你为什么不常到井里来游玩游玩呢” 大鳖听了青蛙的话心里痒痒的准备下去看看。但是它的左脚还没伸进去右脚就已经绊住了。它连忙后退了两步把大海的情形告诉青蛙说“你见过大海吗海很大很大哪止千里;海很深很深哪止千丈。古时候十年里有九年发大水。但是海里的水涨高不了多少。后来八年里有七年要大旱可是海里的水也不见得浅了多少。大涝和大旱都影响不了大海。住在大海里才是真正的快乐呢” 听了大鳖的这一番话青蛙非常吃惊呆在那里无话可说了。 斑鸿说袅 One day, an owl1 flew persistently2 towards the east till it was completelyexhausted3, so it stopped in a forest to take a rest.
