THE FISHERMAN AND THE GENIE
Once upon a time there was an old fisherman. He went fishing very early every morning, but he never cast his net more than four times a day.
One morning, he went out early to the sea. He cast his net for the first time, and drew in the body of an animal. He cast it a second time, and drew in an old basket full of sand. He cast it a third time, and drew in a lot of stones. It seemed he would have nothing to take home that morning.
Day had now broken, and he cast his net for last time. After some time, he began to draw the net in. He found it was very heavy. But there were not any fish in it. Instead he found a jar with a lid. He shook the jar, but could hear nothing. So he took off the lid and looked inside. He could see nothing. After a while a light smoke came slowly out of the jar. Then little by little, the smoke grew heavier and thicker till finally it turned into a terrible Genie!
"Get down on your knees," said the Genie, "for I'm going to kill you."
"Why? Didn't I set you free from the jar?"
"That's why I'm going to kill you, but I'll let you choose how you're going to die."
"But why?"
"Listen, and I will tell you my story."
"I was one of the spirits in heaven. But I did not want to obey Solomon's orders. So one day, he put me in this jar and threw it into the sea.
"During the first hundred years of my stay in the sea, I made a promise that if anyone set me free I would make him very rich. But no one came. During the second hundred years, I promised that if anyone set me free I would show him all the treasures in the world. But still no one came. During the third hundred years, I promised that if anyone came to set me free, I would make him king over the earth.
"Still no one came. Then I became very angry, and decided that if anyone should set me free I would kill him at once. Now you have come and set me free. So you must die, but I will let you say how you want to die."
The fisherman was not frightened. He said: "Since I must die, I must. But before I die, answer me one question."
"All right, but be quick."
"Were you really in the jar? You are so big and the jar is so small that it could hardly hold one of your feet."
"Of course I was in the jar. Don't you believe me?"
"No, and I won't until I've seen you in the jar with my own eyes."
When he heard this, the Genie changed into smoke. Slowly the smoke went back into the jar. When all of it was in the jar, the fisherman quickly put the lid on and threw it back into the sea.
從前有一個漁夫，家裏很窮。他每天早上到海邊去捕魚，但是他自己立下一條規矩，每天至多撒四次網。
有一天早上，撒了三次網，什麼都沒撈着，他很不高興。第四次把網拉攏來的時候，他覺得太重了，簡直拉不動。他就脫了衣服跳下水去，把網拖上岸來。打開網一看，發現網裏有一個膽形的黃銅瓶，瓶口用錫封着，錫上蓋着所羅門的印。
漁夫一見，笑逐顏開，說道：“我把這瓶子帶到市上去，可以賣它十塊金幣。”他抱着銅瓶搖了一搖，覺得很重，裏面似乎塞滿了東西。他自言自語地說：“這個瓶裏到底裝的什麼東西?我要打開來看個清楚，再拿去賣。”他就從腰帶上拔出小刀，撬去瓶口上的錫封，然後搖搖瓶子，想把裏面的東西倒出來，但是什麼東西也沒有。他覺得非常奇怪。
隔一會兒，瓶裏冒出一股青煙，飄飄蕩蕩地升到空中，繼而瀰漫在大地上，逐漸凝成一團，最後變成個巨大的魔鬼，披頭散髮，高高地聳立在漁夫面前。魔鬼頭像堡壘，手像鐵叉，腿像桅杆，口像山洞，牙齒像白石塊，鼻孔像喇叭，眼睛像燈籠，樣子非常兇惡。
漁夫一看見這可怕的魔鬼，呆呆的不知如何應付。一會兒，他聽見魔鬼叫道：“所羅門啊，別殺我，以後我不敢再違背您的命令了!”
“魔鬼!”漁夫說道，“所羅門已經死了一千八百年了。你是怎麼鑽到這個瓶子裏的呢?”
魔鬼說：“漁夫啊，準備死吧!你選擇怎樣死吧，我立刻就要把你殺掉!”
“我犯了什麼罪?”漁夫問道，“我把你從海里撈上來，又把你從膽瓶裏放出來，救了你的命，你爲什麼要殺我?”
魔鬼答道：“你聽一聽我的故事就明白了。”
“說吧，”漁夫說，“簡單些。”
“你要知道，”魔鬼說，“我是個無惡不作的凶神，曾經跟所羅門作對，他派人把我捉去，裝在這個膽瓶裏，用錫封嚴了，又蓋上印，投到海里。我在海里呆着，在第一個世紀裏，我常常想：‘誰要是在這個世紀裏解救我，我一定報答他，使他終身享受榮華富貴。’一百年過去了，可是沒有人來解救我。第二個世紀開始的時候，我說：‘誰要是在這個世紀裏解救我，我一定報答他，把全世界的寶庫都指點給他。’可是沒有人來解救我。第三個世紀開始的時候，我說：‘誰要是在這個世紀裏解救我，我一定報答他，滿足他的三種願望。’可是整整過了四百年，始終沒有人來解救我。於是我非常生氣，我說：‘從今以後，誰要是來解救我，我一定要殺死他，不過准許他選擇怎樣死。’漁夫，現在你解救了我，所以我叫你選擇你的死法。”
漁夫叫道：“好倒黴啊，碰上我來解救你!是我救了你的命啊!”
“正因爲你救了我，我纔要殺你啊!”
“好心對待你，你卻要殺我!老話確實講得不錯，這真是‘恩將仇報’了!”
“別再羅唆了，”魔鬼說道，“反正你是非死不可的。”
這時候漁夫想道：“他是個魔鬼，我是個堂堂的人。我的智慧一定能壓制他的妖氣。”於是他對魔鬼說：“你決心要殺我嗎?”
“不錯。”
“憑神的名字起誓，我要問你一件事，你必須說實話。”
“可以，”魔鬼說，“問吧，要簡短些。”
“你不是住在這個膽瓶裏嗎?可是照道理說，這個銅瓶既容不下你一隻手，更容不下你一條腿，怎麼容得下你這樣龐大的整個身體呀?”
“你不相信我住在這個膽瓶裏嗎?”
“我沒有親眼看見，絕對不能相信。”
這時候，魔鬼搖身一變，變成一團青煙，逐漸縮成一縷，慢慢地鑽進膽瓶。漁夫見青煙全進了膽瓶，就立刻拾起蓋印的錫封，把瓶口封上，然後學着魔鬼的口吻大聲說：“告訴我吧，魔鬼，你希望怎樣死?現在我決心把你投到海里去。”
魔鬼聽了漁夫的話，就說：“漁夫，剛纔我是跟你開玩笑的。”
“下流無恥的魔鬼，你這是說謊呀!”漁夫一邊把膽瓶挪近海邊，準備扔到海里去，一邊說，“我要把你投到海里，你說你在海里已經住過一千八百年，這一回我非叫你在海里住一輩子不可。我知道你是壞透了的。我不僅要把你投到海里，還要把你怎樣對待我的事告訴世人，叫大家當心。撈着你就立刻把你投回海里去，叫你永遠留在海里。”
3分鐘英語小故事篇二A FOX one day fell into a deep well and could find no means of escape. A Goat, overcome with thirst, came to the same well, and seeing the Fox, inquired if the water was good. Concealing his sad plight under a merry guise, the Fox indulged in a lavish praise of the water, saying it was excellent beyond measure, and encouraging him to descend. The Goat, mindful only of his thirst, thoughtlessly jumped down, but just as he drank, the Fox informed him of the difficulty they were both in and suggested a scheme for their common escape. "If," said he, "you will place your forefeet upon the wall and bend your head, I will run up your back and escape, and will help you out afterwards." The Goat readily assented and the Fox leaped upon his back. Steadying himself with the Goat's horns, he safely reached the mouth of the well and made off as fast as he could. When the Goat upbraided him for breaking his promise, he turned around and cried out, "You foolish old fellow! If you had as many brains in your head as you have hairs in your beard, you would never have gone down before you had inspected the way up, nor have exposed yourself to dangers from which you had no means of escape."
一隻狐狸失足掉到了井裏，不論他如何掙扎仍沒法爬上去，只好呆在那裏。公山羊覺得口渴極了，來到這井邊，看見狐狸在井下，便問他井水好不好喝?狐狸覺得機會來了，心中暗喜，馬上鎮靜下來，極力讚美井水好喝，說這水是天下第一泉，清甜爽口，並勸山羊趕快下來，與他痛飲。一心只想喝水信以爲真的山羊，便不假思索地跳了下去，當他咕咚咕咚痛飲完後，就不得不與狐狸一起共商上井的辦法。狐狸早有準備，他狡猾地說：“我倒有一個方法。你用前腳扒在井牆上，再把角豎直了，我從你後背跳上井去，再拉你上來，我們就都得救了。”公山羊同意了他的提議，狐狸踩着他的後腳，跳到他背上，然後再從角上用力一跳，跳出了井口。狐狸上去以後，準備獨自逃離。公山羊指責狐狸不信守諾言。狐狸回過頭對公山羊說：“喂，朋友，你的頭腦如果像你的鬍鬚那樣完美，你就不至於在沒看清出口之前就盲目地跳下去。”
這故事說明，聰明的人應當事先考慮清楚事情的結果，然後纔去做。
