篇一：英语小故事

The City Mouse and the Country Mouse Once there were two mice. They were friends. One mouse lived in the country; the other mouse lived in the city. One day the Country mouse wrote to the City mouse; he said, “Do come and visit me in the country.”So the City mouse went. After the City mouse arrived, he said,”The food is not tasty, and your house is not pretty. Why do you live in such a shabby hole in the field? You should come with me and live in the city. You would live in a nice house made of stone. You would have yummy food to eat. You must come and see me at my house in the city.”

They spent what the city mouse called a “tedious” weekend in the country. Then, the Country mouse went to the house of the City mouse. It was a very cozy house with dizzy décor. Sumptuous food was set ready for them to eat. But just as they began to eat they heard a mewing-like noise. The City mouse cried,” Run! Run! The cat is coming!” They ran away quickly and hid in the dark.

After their tiny hearts stop hammering, they came out and the Country mouse said in a relief, “I do not like living in

the city. Instead, I like living in my little hole. For it is nicer to be poor and happy, than to be rich and afraid.”

篇三：chinese new year英语小故事

1 Chinese New Year

Chinese New Year is the most important festival for Chinese people all over the world. It is also called the Spring Festival or the Lunar New Year.

The exact date of the Spring Festival on the Western calendar changes from year to year. However, Chinese New Year takes place between January 1 and February 19.

On the Chinese calendar every year has an animal’s name. These animals are the rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake,

horse, ram, monkey, rooster, dog and pig. A Chinese legend says that these twelve animals had a race. The first year was named after the rat, the winner. The other eleven years were named according to the order in which the animals arrived in the race. The clever rat jumped onto the ox’s back, and then at the end jumped over the ox’s head to arrive first!

The Chinese believe that a person born in a particular year has some of the characteristics of that animal.
