小学英语英语故事童话故事Body_without_Soul无灵之体
Body-without-Soul 无灵之体Body-without-SoulThere was a widow with a son named Jack, who at thirteen wanted to leave home to seek his fortune His mother said to him, "What do you expect to do out in the world? Don't you know you're still a little boy? When you're able to fell that pine tree behind our house with one kick, then you can go"Every day after that, as soon as he rose in the morning, Jack would get a running start and jump against the trunk of the tree with both feet, but the pine never budged an inch and he fell flat on his back He would get up again, shake the dirt off, and go back insideAt last one fine morning he jumped with all his might, and the tree gave way and toppled to the ground, his roots in the air Jack ran and got his mother who, surveying the felled tree, said, "You may now go wherever you wish, my son" Jack bid her farewell and set outAfter walking for days and days he came to a city whose king had a horse named Rondello that no one had ever been able to ride People constantly tried, but were thrown just when it appeared they would succeed Looking on, Jack soon realized that the horse was afraid of its own shadow, so he volunteered to break Rondello himself He began by going up to the horse in the stable, talking to it and patting it; then he suddenly jumped into the saddle and rode the animal outside straight into the sun That way it couldn't see any shadow to frighten it Jack took a steady hold of the reins, pressed his knees to the horse, and galloped off A quarter of an hour later Rondello was as docile as a lamb, but let no one ride him after that but JackFrom then on, Jack served the king, who was so fond of him that the other servants grew jealous and plotted to get rid of himNow the king had a daughter who had been kidnapped in her infancy by the sorcerer Body-without-Soul, and no one had heard of her since The servants went to the king claiming Jack had boasted to everybody he would free her The king sent for him Jack was amazed and said this was the first he had even heard of the king's daughter But the fact that anyone had dared make light of the episode concerning his daughter so infuriated the king that he said, "Either you free her, or I'll have you beheaded" Since there was no calming the king now, Jack asked for a rusty sword they kept hanging on the wall, saddled Rondello, and rode off Crossing a forest, he saw a lion motioning him to stop Although a bit uneasy, Jack disliked the idea of running away, so he dismounted and asked what the lion wanted"Jack," said the lion, "as you can see, there are four of us here: myself, a dog, an eagle, and an ant We have a dead donkey to parcel among us Since you have a sword, carve the animal and give us each a portion" Jack cut off the donkey's head and gave it to the ant "Here you are This will make you a nice home and supply you with all the food you'll ever want" Next he cut off the hoofs and gave them to the dog "Here's something to gnaw on as long as you like" He cut out the entrails and gave them to the eagle "This is your food, which you can carry to the treetops where you perch" All the rest he gave to the lion, which as the biggest of the four deserved the largestportion He got back on his horse and started off, only to hear his name called "Dear me," he thought, "I must have made some mistake in dividing the parts" But the lion said to him, "You did us a big favor and you were very fair As one good deed deserves another, I'm giving you one of my claws which will turn you into the fiercest lion in the world when you wear it" The dog said, "Here is one of my whiskers, which will turn you into the fastest dog on earth, whenever you place it under your nose" The eagle said, "Here is a feather from my wings which can change you into the biggest and strongest eagle in the sky" The ant said, "I'm giving you one of my tiny legs Put it on and you will become an ant so small that no one can see you, even with a magnifying glass"Jack took his presents, thanked the four animals, and departed As he was uncertain whether the gifts were magic or not, thinking the animals might have played a joke on him, he stopped as soon as he was out of sight to test them He became lion, dog, eagle, and ant; next ant, eagle, dog, and lion; then eagle, ant, lion, and dog; finally dog, lion, ant, and eagle Yes, everything worked like a charm! All smiles, he moved onwardBeyond the forest was a lake, on whose shore stood the castle of Body-without-Soul Jack changed into an eagle and flew straight to the edge of a closed window Then he changed into an ant and crawled into the room It was a beautiful bedchamber where, beneath a canopy, lay the king's daughter asleep Still an ant, Jack went crawling over her cheek until she awakened Then he removed the tiny ant leg, and the king's daughter suddently beheld a handsome youth at her side"Don't be afraid," he said, signaling silence "I've come to free you You must get the sorcerer to tell you what could kill him"When the sorcerer returned, Jacked changed back into an ant The king's daughter made a big to-do over Body-without-Soul, seating him at her feet and drawning his head onto her lap Then she began: "My darling sorcerer, I know you're a body without a soul and therefore incapable of dying But I live in constant fear of someone finding your soul and putting you to death""I can tell you the secret," replied the sorcerer, "since you're imprisoned here and can't possibly betray me To slay me would require a lion mighty enough to kill the black lion in the forest Out of the belly of the dead lion would leap a black dog so swift that only the fastest dog on earth could catch it Out of the belly of the dead black dog would fly a black eagle that could withstand every eagle under the sun But if by chance that eagle were slain, a black egg would have to be taken out of its craw and cracked over my brow for my soul to fly away and leave me dead Does all that seem easy? Do you have any real grounds for worry?"With his tiny ant ears, Jack took in every word, then crawled back under the window to the ledge, where he again turned into an eagle and soared into the forest There he changed into a lion and stalked the underbrush until he came face to face with the black lion The black lion jumped him, but Jack, being the strongest lion in the world, tore it to bits (Back at the castle, the sorcerer felt his head spin) The lion's belly was slit open, and out bolted a swift-footed black dog, but Jack turned into the fastest dog on earth, caught him, and they rolled together in a ball, bitingeach other until the black dog lay dead (Back at the castle, the sorcerer had to take to his bed) The dog's belly was slit open and out flew a black eagle, but Jack became the most powerful eagle under the sun and they soared through the sky pecking and clawing each other until the black eagle folded its wings and fell to earth (At the castle, the sorcerer ran a high fever and curled up under the bedclothes) Jack changed back into a man, opened the eagle's craw, and removed the black egg He returned to the castle and gave it to the king's daughter, who was overjoyed "How on earth did you do it?" she asked"Nothing to it," replied Jack "The rest is now up to you"The king's daughter entered the sorcerer's bedchamber, asking, "How do you feel?" "Woe's me! I've been betrayed""I brought you a cup of broth Drink some"The sorcerer sat up in his bed and bent over to drink the broth"Here, let me break an egg into it and give it more body" At that, the king's daughter broke the black egg over his brow and Body-without-Soul died on the spotJack took the king's daughter home to her father Everyone was overjoyed, and the young couple was married forthwith(Riviera ligure di ponente)NOTES:"Body-without-Soul" (Corpo-senza-l'anima) from Andrews, 46, Riviera ligureThis Ligurian Jack differs from fellow heroes and liberators of princesses by his systematic cautiousness bordering on distrust (he is one of the few who, the minute he receives a magic gift, must test it before he is able to believe in it) In that respect he takes after his mother, who will not let him go out into the world until he has given proof of perseverance by felling the tree with his kicks I have been faithful to the original version while aiming to endow it with a particular rhythm Copyright: Italian Folktales Selected and Retold by Italo Calvino,translated by George Martin,Pantheon Books, New York 1980无灵之体从前有一个寡妇，带着一个儿子，儿子名字叫朱瓦宁。
夏恩英语品格教育小故事
夏恩英語品格教育小故事Date: 2008/7/3夏恩英語品格教育小故事夏恩幼兒園每個月會透過英文小故事與中外師身教，傳達一個英式品格主題給小朋友。
一月【品格小故事】Expressing oneself「表達」『大荒野』是個荒涼又髒的地方，沒有花沒有樹，也沒有多少動物，除了偶爾看見兔子亂跳，老鼠找地方躲強烈的風沙外，尌剩下「不笑鳥」了。
不笑鳥是種毫無情感的鳥，他們不笑也從不掉過淚，除了「小福」很特殊的還帶有一點感情。
有一天，小福遇到了兔子正在大笑，小福很好奇的問兔子「你在做什麼?」兔子回答：「我在笑呀!」小福問:「什麼是笑呢?」兔子答:「笑是表現快樂的方法。
」小福仍然不懂，兔子解釋給小福聽：「世界上有各種感情，有悲傷、有快樂、有傷心、有生氣……」接著，兔子教小福開始尋找感情，兔子讓小福看到自己傷心的樣子，也看到自己快樂的樣子，小福終於了解喜、怒、哀、樂都是可以藉由情緒的表現，自然的流露出來。
小福很開心的謝謝兔子後，他回到「大荒野」中，把牠學到的情感表達教給「不笑鳥」們，也讓大荒野變成一個有喜、怒、哀、樂的地方。
動物們也尌開始越來越多住進「大荒野」了。
透過小故事讓孩子了解，適時表達情緒與敞開心門，付出歡樂與關懷，也能感染週遭好友同樣擁有好心情。
二月【品格小故事】Respect「尊重」哈比是一隻天真的小蜜蜂，他一廂情願的傳遞心目中的幸福訊息，但是忙碌的昆蟲們卻毫不領情。
哈比一次次被拒絕，連他最親密的家人也離他好遠，他的心願很單純，只是以為大家聽到他模仿的春雷歌聲，也能得到和他相同的幸福感受。
他拼命用聲音來表達自己的想法，卻是錯誤的第一步。
他選擇的時機並不恰當，而且聲音的表現也太過粗暴。
雖然他犯了一些錯，但是他還有一個難能可貴的優點，尌是他懂得尊重別人的提醒。
他不明白別人排斥他的真正原因，不過他會表示理解並且默默離開，直到家人確切的指出是聲音出了問題之後，他開始思索別人拒絕他的理由。
他和月亮的對話，也正是他內心反省的聲音。

玩物丧志 (wán wù sàng zhì)-英文版成语故事
玩物丧志(wán wù sàng zhì)Folly of the SensesWhile many Chinese people love hobbies, it is a cherished notion that it is best to distance one's self fromany indulgence that interferes with one's career pursuits.The principle is best expressed in a 3,000-year-old Chinese saying Wan Wu Sang Zhi or "indulging in a hobbysaps one's will."The saying was coined by an aide to the first ruler of the Western Zhou Dynasty (11th century-770 BC), whichwas established after the downfall of the Shang Dynasty (16th century-11th century BC).The collapse of the Shang Dynasty was caused by the corruption of King Zhou, the last ruler of the regime.Zhou was a notorious tyrant who indulged himself in material pleasures. He boasted a huge collection ofprecious stones, pearls and exotic plants, as well as rare birds and animals.He squandered tons of treasury gold on the construction of grandiose palaces and gardens where he spentmost of his time playing with his hundreds of concubines and maids of honor.He was so preoccupied with trivial and sensual pursuits that he almost totally ignored his duties as the head ofstate.So, Zhou was hated by both his aides and people. Eventually, his regime was overthrown and he burnedhimself to death.After ascending the throne, King Wu, the new ruler of the Western Zhou Dynasty, found his palace inundatedwith priceless gifts presented by small neighboring kingdoms. Many of the gifts were very attractive.One of the new ruler's aides feared King Wu might follow the same disastrous course as the ruler of theprevious dynasty. So, one day he came to see King Wu and reminded him of the failure of his predecessor.He said indulging in material pleasures or hobbies would sap the king's will to lead his state and people toprosperity. So, he persuaded the ruler to distance himself from any kind of indulgences.The phrase Wan Wu Sang Zhi cited by the official to promote moderation is still popular today.It is often used to warn people that too much attention to extracurricular activities will soften one'sdetermination to achieve more important goals in life.。

栅车少年英语故事书The Young Cart Boy's English StoryIn a small village nestled along the winding roads, there lived a young boy named Liam. Liam's days were filled with the simple joys of rural life - helping his family on the farm, playing with his friends, and dreaming of adventure beyond the confines of his familiar surroundings.One day, as Liam was tending to the family's cart, he noticed an intriguing poster tacked onto the side of the general store. It advertised a writing contest for young storytellers, with the grand prize being a trip to the bustling city. Liam's eyes sparkled with excitement, and he knew this was his chance to explore the world beyond his village.Determined to win, Liam spent countless hours honing his writing skills, crafting and refining his story. He drew inspiration from the tales his grandfather had shared, weaving intricate narratives that captured the essence of his rural upbringing. With each passing day, Liam's confidence grew, and he became more and more convinced that his story would be the one to captivate the judges.As the deadline for the contest approached, Liam carefully copied his story onto the contest entry form, his heart racing with anticipation. He meticulously checked and rechecked every word, ensuring that his writing was flawless. Finally, with a deep breath, he placed the envelope in the mail and waited with bated breath for the results.Weeks later, Liam received a letter in the mail that would change the course of his life. To his utter delight, he had been chosen as the winner of the writing contest! The news spread through the village like wildfire, and Liam's family and friends celebrated his triumph with great enthusiasm.The day of the trip to the city arrived, and Liam felt both thrilled and nervous as he boarded the train. As the landscape outside the window shifted from the familiar farmlands to the towering skyscrapers, Liam's eyes widened with wonder. He had never seen anything like it, and the bustling energy of the city captivated him.During his stay in the city, Liam immersed himself in a world he had only ever dreamed of. He visited museums, attended a theater performance, and even had the opportunity to meet with the city's mayor. Each new experience left him awestruck, and he soaked up every moment, eager to share it all with his loved ones back home.As the trip came to an end, Liam found himself reluctant to leave the city. He had tasted the thrill of adventure and his horizons had been forever broadened. However, the pull of his beloved village and the familiar faces of his family and friends was strong, and Liam knew that he had to return.Upon his arrival, Liam was greeted with a hero's welcome. His story had touched the hearts of the villagers, and they celebrated his accomplishment with great pride. Liam, in turn, shared his experiences and the lessons he had learned, inspiring others to never underestimate the power of their own dreams and the written word.From that day on, Liam's life took on a new trajectory. He continued to hone his writing skills, sharing his stories with the community and inspiring others to do the same. He became a mentor to the younger generation, encouraging them to explore the limitless possibilities that lay before them.Years passed, and Liam's legacy as the "Young Cart Boy" lived on. His story had become a cherished part of the village's history, a reminder that with determination, creativity, and a thirst for adventure, anything is possible.

This is a very well-known story that teaches us a lot about using our time wisely.
这是一个大家熟知的故事，它告诉我们要明智地利用时间。
A grasshopper was playing on his violin where the ants were busy collecting food.
蚱蜢在拉小提琴，而蚂蚁却在忙着收集食物。
“It's the grasshopper again！”they said.“He's always playing that violin of his. He never seems to do any work.”
“又是蚱蜢。
”它们说，“它总是在拉小提琴，似乎从来不工作。
”
The grasshopper stopped when he saw the ants.“Why are you working on such a beautiful day？”he asked.“Don't you feel the gaiety of spring？Why aren't you dancing and singing while I play my violin？”
蚱蜢看见蚂蚁后停了下来。
“这么好的天气，干吗工作呢？”它问道，“你们不觉得在春天心情是多么舒畅吗？我拉小提琴的时候，你们可以唱唱歌，跳跳舞啊！”
“We must collect food now,”said the Queen of ants.“If we don't, what will we do when winter comes？”
“现在我们必须要收集食物。
”蚁后说，“否则，我们冬天怎么办呢？”
“Oh, winter's a long way off,”said the grasshopper.“You take life much too seriously.”
“哦，冬天还很远呢！”蚱蜢说道，“你们对待生活太认真啦。
”
“But you must work today if you want to eat tomorrow,”said the little ant.“You can play your violin after you have finished working,”said another as the ants scurried busily about.
“但是，今天的工作是为了明天的生活。
”小蚂蚁说。
“你做完工作后再拉小提琴啊。
”另一只忙于工作的蚂蚁说。
The grasshopper didn't wish to heed their advice,“Go on with your work, my little friends,”he said.“I'm going to dance in the meadow in the sun！”And so the grasshopper left the busy ants and went on his way, singing.
蚱蜢却从来没有听从蚂蚁的建议。
“我的小朋友们，你们继续工作吧。
”它说，“我要到阳光照耀下的草地上跳舞去了。
”蚱蜢唱着歌离开了忙碌的蚂蚁。
The spring soon passed and the warm days of summer came. All day long the grasshopper played his violin as he sat in the sun or just slept on a blade of grass. Soon summer was over.
春天很快过去了，炎热的夏天来了。
蚱蜢只是整日坐在太阳下，或躺在草叶上拉小提琴。

一天早上，蚱蜢醒来后惊讶地发现昨天晚上下雪了。
它哆嗦着想去寻找一片大叶子作食物，但是它找啊找，可是什么也没找到。
漫长的冬天到来了。
“Oh dear, oh dear！What shall I do？”cried the grasshopper,“I shall die of hunger. I shall freeze to death！”
“哦，天哪！我该怎么办呢？”蚱蜢哀号着，“我要被饿死、冻死了。
”
The grasshopper wandered around looking for a place to keep warm but there was no such place.“How silly I was not to listen to the ants. While I am dying of cold and hunger they are sitting in their warm nest wit h plenty to eat.”
蚱蜢四处徘徊着想找一个御寒的地方，但是根本找不到。
“我真是太傻了，没有听蚂蚁的话。
我快要被冻死饿死的时候，它们却待在温暖的巢穴里，不愁吃的。
”
And sobbing loudly, the grasshopper sat down in the snow. The ants heard his cry and as they were really kind creatures they came hurrying to help him.
蚱蜢坐在雪地上大哭起来。
善良的蚂蚁听到它的哭声后，急忙赶来帮忙。
By this time the poor grasshopper was frozen stiff. The ants picked him up and carried him to their nest.
等它们到那儿，可怜的蚱蜢已经冻僵了。
蚂蚁把它扶起来，抬到它们的巢穴里。
They looked after the grasshopper until he felt better and spring had returned again. Never did the grasshopper forget the lesson he had been taught.
