小學生英語故事：鷸蚌相爭
The Zhao State was taking up arms against the Yan State, and Su Dai (a military strategist during the Warring States period, and little brother to Su Qin of the School of Diplomacy) traveled to speak with King HuiWen of Zhao on behalf of the Yan State, and he told the following fable:
“When I was coming here I passed over some gentle water, and by chance I happened to see a clam sunning itself. A sandpiper seized the opportunity to peck at the clam’s meat, but the clam slammed the two wings of its hard shell shut on the sandpiper’s beak. The sandpiper said, ‘Today it won’t rain, tomorrow it won’t rain, and there will be one dead clam!’ The clam gave as good as he got, saying: ‘I won’t come out today, I won’t come out tomorrow (so your beak won’t be free), and there will be one dead sandpiper!’ Neither party was willing to give up, and at this time, a fisherman scooped them both up and carried them off. If Yan and Zhao oppose each other, we’ll both fight ourselves weary. I’m afraid the strong Qin State is playing the role of the fisherman, so I hope that your majesty will carefully deliberate on this matter.”
趙國將要討伐燕國，蘇代(戰國時策士，縱橫家蘇秦的弟弟)替燕國遊說趙惠文王，講了如下的寓言故事:
“我來的時候經過易水，恰好看到蚌出來曬太陽。鷸趁機啄蚌的肉，蚌把兩扇介殼一閉就夾住了鷸的喙。鷸說:‘今天不下雨，明天不下雨，就有死蚌。’蚌也針鋒相對地說: ‘今天不出，明天不出(夾住不放)，就有死鷸。’兩者誰也不肯罷休，這時過來一個漁父把兩者一起拎走了。”燕趙相對抗，都搞得很疲勞，我恐怕強大的秦國正在扮演漁父的角色，所以希望大王深思熟慮。
惠文王贊同蘇代的意見，停止對燕國用兵。

But the bell was both big and heavy, and howsoever he tried, he couldn’t move it. He thought and thought, and came up with just one solution, which was to break the bell to bits, then take the pieces separately back to his house.
The thief found a sledgehammer, and swung at the bell with all his might. A loud “gong” sound rang out, startling the thief. The thief panicked, thinking this [enterprise] was spoiled, thinking “that kind of noise is tantamount to telling people that I’m here stealing the bell, isn’t it?” He was worried, and he flung is body at the bell, stretching his arms around it to try to still the sound, but really how could he stop it? The sound went on and on, ringing far and wide.
The longer he heard it, the more afraid he became, and withdrew his hands to press them against his ears with all his strength. “Yi, the sound has lessened, I can’t hear it anymore!” The thief became happy again, “How wonderful! If I cover my ears well, the sound can’t be heard!” covered his ears well, he couldn’t hear the sound at all! He immediately found two pieces of cloth and stopped up his ears, thinking that this way, no one else could hear the bell’s sound either. So he began smashing the bell, hitting it again and again, the ringing of the bell being heard even in far away places. People heard the bells sounds and came in great numbers, catching the thief.春秋時侯，晉國貴族智伯滅掉了範氏。有人趁機跑到範氏家裏想偷點東西，看見院子裏吊着一口大鐘。鍾是用上等青銅鑄成的，造型和圖案都很精美。小偷心裏高興極了，想把這口精美的大鐘揹回自已家去。可是鍾又大又重，怎麼也挪不動。他想來想去，只有一個辦法，那就是把鐘敲碎，然後再分別搬回家。
小偷找來一把大大錘，拼命朝鐘砸去，咣的一聲巨響，把他嚇了一大跳。小偷着慌，心想這下糟了，這種聲不就等於是告訴人們我正在這裏偷鍾嗎?他心裏一急，身子一下子撲到了鐘上，張開雙臂想捂住鐘聲，可鐘聲又怎麼捂得住呢!鐘聲依然悠悠地傳向遠方。
他越聽越害怕，不同自由地抽回雙手，使勁捂住自已的耳朵。“咦，鐘聲變小了，聽不見了!”小偷高興起來，“妙極了!把耳朵捂住不住就聽不進鐘聲了嗎!”他立刻找來兩個布團，把耳朵塞住，心想，這下誰也聽不見鐘聲了。於是就放手砸起鍾來，一下一下，鐘聲響亮地傳到很遠的地方。人們聽到鐘聲蜂擁而至把小偷捉住了。
小學生英語故事：孟姜女哭長城
During the Qin dynasty, there was a kind and beautify woman, called Meng JiangNv. One day, she was in her garden doing housework, when she suddenly realized that someone was hiding in the grape arbor. She was hugely startled, and was about to call out, when she saw the person repeatedly wave his hands, and begged her, “Don’t call out, don’t call out, save me! I am Fan XiLiang, and I’m running away from trouble.” Well, during this time, [Emperor] Qin Shi Huang, in order to build the great wall, was seizing people from everywhere to [force them to] do labor, and he’d already worked and starved countless people to death! Meng JiangNv rescued Fan XiLiang, and when she saw that he was well educated and sensible, and good looking with delicate features as well, she began to love him, and Fan XiLiang also liked Meng JiangNv. Their two hearts beat as one, and after seeking the approval of their parents, prepared to become husband and wife.
On the wedding day, the Meng house was lit with lanterns and colored banners, and was jam-packed with guests – it was a joyous scene. When it was almost dark out, and those that had come to drink the marriage wine slowly scattered, the bride and groom prepared to enter the marriage chamber, suddenly came the sounds of birds crying and dogs barking, and soon after a company of fierce officers and soldiers charged in, and without listening to any explanation, locked up Fan XiLiang in iron chains and hauled him off to the Great Wall to work. The lovely wedding had come to nothing, and Meng JiangNv felt both grief and indignation, and she longed for her husband day and night. She thought: Instead of sitting here worrying hopelessly, it’s better if I go to the Great Wall and search for him. Yes! That’s what I’ll do! So Meng JiangNv immediately prepared her traveling clothes and set out on the road.
On the road, though she couldn’t count how many times she endured wind, frost, rain and snow, trudged across dangerous mountains and treacherous rapids, Meng JiangNv never spoke one word of complaint, never spilled one tear, and finally, drawing strength from her tenacious willpower, and drawing strength from her deep love for her husband, she reached the Great Wall. The Great Wall at this time was made up of many small construction sites that had been strung together to form a long city wall, and Meng JiangNv went from each construction site to the next, but she never saw a trace of her husband. Finally, she drummed up her courage, and asked a group of workers who were just about to begin work: “Do any of you know a Fan XiLiang?” The workers said, “Yes, there was a man like that, he’d just arrived.” When Meng JiangNv heard that, she was indescribably happy! She immediately asked, “Where is he?” The worker said, “He’s dead, his corpse has already been tossed into the wall.”
When Meng JiangNv heard this grievous news, it was like a clap of thunder from a clear sky, Meng’s eyes went dark, and [she felt] a burst of sadness, and began to sob. She cried for a full three days and three nights, she cried until the sky was twilight and the Earth was dark, [until] even Heaven and Earth were moved. The sky became more and more gloomy, the wind more and more fierce, and then there was a great “crash”, and a section of the Wall had been cried down, and Fan XiLiang’s corpse was revealed; Meng JiangNv’s tears dripped on his badly mutilated face. She finally was able to see the husband she loved, but he wasn’t able to see her, because he had already been killed by the cruel Qin ShiHuang.
秦朝時候，有個善良美麗的女子，名叫孟姜女。一天，她正在自家的院子裏做家務，突然發現葡萄架下藏了一個人，嚇了她一大跳，正要叫喊，只見那個人連連擺手，懇求道：“別喊別喊，救救我吧!我叫範喜良，是來逃難的。”原來這時秦始皇爲了造長城，正到處抓人做勞工，已經餓死、累死了不知多少人!孟姜女把範喜良救了下來，見他知書達理，眉清目秀，對他產生了愛慕之情，而範喜良也喜歡上了孟姜女。他倆兒心心相印，徵得了父母的同意後，就準備結爲夫妻。
成親那天，孟家張燈結綵，賓客滿堂，一派喜氣洋洋的情景。眼看天快黑了，喝喜酒的人也都漸漸散了，新郎新娘正要入洞房，忽然只聽見雞飛狗叫，隨後闖進來一隊惡狠狠的官兵，不容分說，用鐵鏈一鎖，硬把範喜良抓到長城去做工了。好端端的喜事變成了一場空，孟姜女悲憤交加，日夜思念着丈夫。她想：我與其坐在家裏乾着急，還不如自己到長城去找他。對!就這麼辦!孟姜女立刻收拾收拾行裝，上路了。
一路上，也不知經歷了多少風霜雨雪，跋涉過多少險山惡水，孟姜女沒有喊過一聲苦，沒有掉過一滴淚，終於，憑着頑強的毅力，憑着對丈夫深深的愛，她到達了長城。這時的長城已經是由一個個工地組成的一道很長很長的城牆了，孟姜女一個工地一個工地地找過來，卻始終不見丈夫的蹤影。最後，她鼓起勇氣，向一隊正要上工的民工詢問：“你們這兒有個範喜良嗎?”民工說：“有這麼個人，新來的。”孟姜女一聽，甭提多開心了!她連忙再問：“他在哪兒呢?”民工說：“已經死了，屍首都已經填了城腳了!”
猛地聽到這個噩耗，真好似晴天霹靂一般，孟姜女只覺眼前一黑，一陣心酸，大哭起來。整整哭了三天三夜，哭得天昏地暗，連天地都感動了。天越來越陰沉，風越來越猛烈，只聽“嘩啦”一聲，一段長城被哭倒了，露出來的正是範喜良的屍首，孟姜女的眼淚滴在了他血肉模糊的臉上。她終於見到了自己心愛的丈夫，但他卻再也看不到她了，因爲他已經被殘暴的秦始皇害死了。
