要3篇英文故事(短点,但不少于5句话),还有5句英文谚语!
t happened that a Dog had got a piece of meat and was carrying it home in his mouth to eat it in peace.Now,on his way home he had to cross a plank lying across a running brook.As he crossed,he looked down and saw his own shadow reflected in the water beneath.Thinking it was another dog with another piece of meat,he made up his mind to have that also.So he made a snap at the shadow in the water,but as he opened his mouth the piece of meat fell out,dropped into the water and was never seen more.
一只狗嘴里衔着一块肉,走过一条河上面的桥,看见他自己在水里的影子,以为是另一只狗,那时狗衔着的肉,比他自己的还要大一倍.因此他仍掉自己的那一块,狠狠地扑向那只狗,想夺到那一块较大的肉.结果两头都落了空,因为他想要抓取在水中的那一块,只不过是一个影子,而原来的那一块,也被水冲走了.
Beware lest you lose the substance by grasping at the shadow.
谨记,切莫因追逐幻影而丢失已有的东西.
The Thirsty Pigeon口渴的鸽子
A PIGEON,oppressed by excessive thirst,saw a goblet of water painted on a signboard.Not supposing it to be only a picture,she flew towards it with a loud whir and unwittingly dashed against the signboard,jarring herself terribly.Having broken her wings by the blow,she fell to the ground,and was caught by one of the bystanders.

The Raven and the Swan乌鸦和天鹅
A RAVEN saw a Swan and desired to secure for himself the same beautiful plumage.Supposing that the Swan's splendid white color arose from his washing in the water in which he swam,the Raven left the altars in the neighborhood where he picked up his living,and took up residence in the lakes and pools.But cleansing his feathers as often as he would,he could not change their color,while through want of food he perished.
乌鸦非常羡慕天鹅洁白的羽毛.他猜想天鹅一定是经常洗澡,羽毛才变得如此洁白无 瑕.于是,他毅然离开了他赖以生存的祭坛,来到江湖边.他天天洗刷自己的羽毛,不但一 点都没洗白,反而因缺少食物饥饿而死.

这故事是说,人的本性不会随着生活方式的改变而改变.
