关于骄傲的寓言故事合集3篇 作文英语（汇编20篇）

在浩瀚的银河系中有一位太阳妈妈。她有五个女儿：金星、木星、水星、火星和土星。她还有两个儿子：地球和月亮。

太阳妈妈的女儿长大后，都离开妈妈独自生活去了。渐渐地，地球和月亮也都长大了。太阳妈妈便对地球和月亮说：“你们已经长大了，也要像姐姐们那样学会独立生活。每个姐姐身上都有一件宝物，你们去向她们要吧！”

地球和月亮告别了太阳妈妈后，就去找姐姐们。地球向东走，月亮往西走。

地球走啊走，来到了土星姐姐的家。土星姐姐给了他一大片肥沃的土地，还用不同的泥土捏造出许多生物。接着，地球又到了其他姐姐的家。木星姐姐给了他一大片森林和花草；水星姐姐给了他小溪、湖泊、江河和大海；金星姐姐给了他几座大山，并告诉他山里有宝藏，要好好开发利用。最后，地球找到了火星姐姐的家，从那里得到了火种，并把刚才从土星姐姐那里拿到的泥土生物烘干，使它们不易变形。地球带着这五样宝物，选了一个望得见太阳妈妈的地方住下来，远远地绕着太阳妈妈转，幸福地生活。他为了不让宝物丢失，还学会了自转，有了昼夜，并产生了向心力，紧紧吸住宝物。

而月亮呢？他和地球分开以后，因为怕辛苦，只找到了金星姐姐，拿了几座大山就不愿意再往前走了。所以，直到现在，他身上到处还是一片荒凉，没有任何的生物。而地球却不怕辛苦，从姐姐们那儿得到了许多宝物，还拥有了人类朋友，直到现在。

The Board Meeting had come to an end. Bob started to stand up and jostled the table, spilling his coffee over his notes. "How embarrassing. I am getting so clumsy in my old age."

The Board Meeting had come to an end. Bob started to stand up and jostled the table, spilling his coffee over his notes. "How embarrassing. I am getting so clumsy in my old age."

Everyone had a good laugh, and soon we were all telling stories of our most embarrassing moments. It came around to Frank who sat quietly listening to the others. Someone said, "Come on, Frank. Tell us your most embarrassing moment."

Frank laughed and began to tell us of his childhood. "I grew up in San Pedro. My Dad was a fisherman, and he loved the sea. He had his own boat, but it was hard making a living on the sea. He worked hard and would stay out until he caught enough to feed the family. Not just enough for our family, but also for his Mom and Dad and the other kids that were still at home."

The frogs and the well青蛙和井

Two frogs lived together in a marsh. One hot summer the marsh dried up, so they had to leave it and look for another place.两只青蛙住在沼泽里。在一个炎热的夏季，沼泽干涸了，因此他们不得不离开去寻找新的湿地。

They soon found a deep well.他们很快发现一口深井。

One of them looked down and said to the other, "This is a nice cool place. Lets jump in and settle down here."其中一只向下看了看对另一只说：“这是个凉爽的好地方，就住这里吧。”

The other frog was much wiser. He replied, "Don’t be so fast, my friend. If this well dries up like the marsh, how should we get out again?"而另一只较明智，它说：“别着急，朋友，如果这口井也干了的话,我们怎么出来呢？”

寓意

凡事应该首先考虑周到，然后再付诸行动。

上帝创造蜜蜂的时候，为了使蜜蜂拥有一定的防御能力，就特意为它设计了一根尾针。当它受到威胁的时候，就可以用尾针来反击对手。有了尾针，蜜蜂感到非常得意。它想，有了这样神奇的武器，我就不怕别的动物欺负了。于是飘飘然起来。

有一次，蜜蜂在树上的花蕊中采蜜，正巧松鼠从附近经过。蜜蜂非常生气，它觉得松鼠打扰了自己的工作。于是，它就狠狠地蜇了松鼠一下。松鼠痛得哎哟一声，赶紧跑开了。蜜蜂感到很得意。心想，自己的尾针竟然有这样大的威力，感谢上帝赐予自己这样好的武器。

一天，当蜜蜂飞回自己巢穴时，发现巢穴的不远处躺着一只狗。蜜蜂想，可恶的家伙，是不是想偷蜜吃。于是，它猛地蜇了狗的鼻子。狗痛得汪汪叫着，十分狼狈地跑开了。取得了两次胜利后，蜜蜂感到心里爽极了。它想，原来自己有这样大的本事呀，太神气了。

蜜蜂越来越感到自己了不起。它每隔一段时间，就找一个机会，找一个倒霉的动物，蜇它一下，证实一下自己的本领和威力。不断有动物被蜜蜂蜇了，痛得不得了。大家都十分害怕蜜蜂，见了它，都躲得远远的。

这天，它看到野猪躺在地上睡大觉。它觉得野猪长得那么丑陋，又那样贪睡，应该惩罚它一下才是。于是，它飞上前去猛地蜇了野猪一下。不料，野猪并没有什么反应。而蜜蜂的尾针好像钉在野猪身上一样。蜜蜂很生气，于是它使劲地将尾针往外一拔，结果尾针脱离了蜜蜂身体，留在野猪身上了。

蜜蜂痛苦极了。它拼命地飞回了巢穴。此时，它已生命垂危。它知道，对于蜜蜂而言，失去了尾针，就等于失去生命。因为没有尾针的蜜蜂是不能存活的。

蜂王看着身受重创的蜜蜂，十分惋惜地说：“当你伤害了别人的时候，也就伤害了自己。当你不顾及别人生命的时候，你的生命也就受到了威胁。这是上帝的安排。”

A Swallow,conversing with a Nightingale，advised her to quit the leafy covens where she made her home，and to come and live with men，like herself,and nest under the shelter of their roofs.But the Nightingale replied，“Time was when I too，like yourself,lived among men：but the memory of the cruel wrongs I then suffered makes them hateful to me，and never again will I approach their dwellings.”

The scene of past sufferings revives painful memories.

歧路亡羊

杨子(即杨朱)是战国时一位学者。有一天他的邻居家跑丢了一只羊。邻人立刻率领亲戚朋友们去追寻，还来邀请杨朱的朴人一同去。

杨子不太情愿地说：“瞎!跑丢了一只羊，何必要这么多人去追寻呢?”

邻人解释说：“你不知道，那里的岔路太多了!”

过了一会儿，邻居带人回来了。杨子问道：“羊找到了吗?”

邻人说：“跑丢了。”

杨子又问：“这么多人怎么会找不到呢?”

邻人答道：“岔路之中又有岔路，我站在岔路口，不知道应该选择哪一条路去找，所以就回来了。”

杨子听了这话，忽然神情忧愁，变了脸色，好长时间不说话，整天没有笑容。

他的门徒都感到奇怪，便向他请教说：“羊是不值钱的畜生，况且不是先生家的，您这样闷闷不乐，究竟是为什么呢?”

杨子陷在沉思之中，没有回答。门徒们还是摸不着头脑。

人们在生活中，不是也会遇到面临岔路无从选择的情形吗?

一日兔子在家休息，无所事事。上网看看新闻，不是这发生惨案，就是那有桃色新闻。想想人类真没意思，生就生，死就死，何必这样兴师动众?还有为了生理需求而发生的交配，算什么呀?我们兔子看中谁就和谁好，就和谁传守接代。几千年过去了，我们依然纯种、健康，从来没有像那么讲究吃喝、卫生、甚至人伦道理等等而带来的新鲜病、杂种或者变异。还有，什么人类文明多么多么的高级，可是这族人弄个这样的文字，那族人又发明了另一种文字，那有我们兔子，走遍全世界全是一种语言~我们才不需要什么A语、B语、N语呢!

抛开不开心的网络，兔子走上绿油油的田野。清爽新鲜的空气，伴着沁人心脾的花香，真想好好跑跑步。一想到跑步，它就想到了很久之前与乌龟的那次比赛。想着想着它就准备去乌龟的家，在路上看到那只乌龟正在练习比赛，其背后还背着一个“王”字。兔子抓抓头皮，也没想起来这只乌龟姓“王”，还是它夺王位、冠军的意思。且不管它是什么意思的，想得太多就会不开心。生命还是简单一些的快乐!

兔子慢跑几步，赶上乌龟，对乌龟说：“他大爷，您在训练呢?还在想着那场比赛吗?我们一起跑好吗?我带你一起跑如何?”乌龟听到兔子一下子问了这么多问题，连忙躺下来，伸出一只只足记下一、二、三、四，然后伸出第一只足对兔子说：“兔好弟呀!我不是他大爷，我是王八。”伸出第二只足说：“和你比赛的是我爹，前年他不幸被一群只有两条腿、没长毛的动物抓了去，而且帮助爹爹洗澡，结果水越烧越热，最后成了那种动物的盘中餐了。”伸出第三只足说：“我们可以一起跑步，这么宽阔的田野，我们可以尽情地跑。”伸出第四只足说：“你带我跑，我当然开心了，那样我的速度会提高很快的。所说那种把我爹爹吃了动物里有些跑得很快，还故意设置一下栏杆加大困难程度。不过，我看兔好弟的速度肯定比它们快得多。”兔子听到乌龟的赞扬，飘飘然，真高兴，就对乌龟说：“你也不小了，你爹爹走得早，我就来帮助你吧~首先，你说那种动物叫人。也就两条腿上有个头的意思。你应该多学习学习，不能总是说不知道不知道的，这样不好。不过，叫人这种动物可虚伪着呢~我们还是跑步吧~别提那些不开心的事了。”

乌龟点头称是，就和兔子一起开始跑步。开始的时候哥俩跑得差不多，可是随着距离的加远，兔子越来越快，乌龟快要跟不上了。兔子一把拉住乌龟的一条腿，说：“我来带走跑!”说着，一低头，一哈腰，风驰电掣跑起来......

兔子一尽兴，就不知道距离的远近了。这一跑一直跑天昏地暗，赛过马拉松、强过猴拉稀。等它停下来，回头一看乌龟。它可乐起来：乌龟被它拉得只剩下一只足在前面摆动，像个领导人在视察什么似的，其余的足都缩得看不到了，平时高昂的龟头也耷拉下来像个蛋，比鸡蛋还小的，比鹌鹑蛋大的那种蛋，叫什么蛋呀?噢!想起来了，像是一个王八蛋!”乌龟连说话的力气都没有了，只是不停地挥挥.....

有人开了心，有人受了罪。这不仅在人类中经常发生，在动物办也是如此的发生。真是人与动物本一家，高低贵贱无需分~~~

This is aWormwhose body is no less than one millimeter. It is called 熊虫(XC) perhaps forthe reason that it looks like a black bear under the microscop. The XC usuallyhabited in the slurry of fresh water, wet soil and the 水膜 of moss plants.Recently, there was an amazing news discovered by 日本冈山大学物理学家小野文久: when 20 littleXC were placed in a sealed container under the 7.5 万个大气压 making inexperiment condition, there were only two died and the other 18 have no troubleat all. 7.5 万个大气压, equal to over 700 kilogram stress per square meter, which is powerfulenough to它足以上淀粉瞬间变性 and the rice ready to eat.

After the stealing of fire,Zeus became increasingly unkind to men.One day he

ordered his son Hephaestus to build an image of a beautiful maiden out of clay.He then asked the gods and goddesses to award her with different kinds of gifts.A charming young lady,she was the first woman that ever lived.Zeus called her Pandora.Because she had received from each of the gods and goddesses a gift.The gift was harmful to men.

Zeus decided to send her down to men as a present. So Hermes them essenger brought her to Epimetheus, brother of Prometheus. The greatness of her beauty touched the hearts of all who looked upon her, and Epimetheus happily received her into his house. He had quite forgotten Pometheus warning: never to accept anything from Zeus.

When he was busy with teaching men the art of living, Prometheus had left a bigcask in the care of Epimetheus. He had warned his brother not to open the lid. Pandora was a curious woman. She had been feeling very disappointed that her husband did not allow her to take a look at the contents of the cask. One day, when Epimetheus was out, she lifted the lid and out it came unrest and war, Plague and sickness, theft and violence, grief, sorrow, and all the other evils. The human world was hence to experience these evils. Only hope stayed within the mouth of the jar and never flew out. So men always have hope within their hearts.

偷窃天火之后，宙斯对人类的敌意与日俱增。一天，他令儿子赫菲斯托斯用泥塑一美女像，并请众神赠予她不同的礼物。世上的第一个女人是位迷人女郎，因为她从每位神灵那里得到了一样对男人有害的礼物，因此宙斯称她为潘多拉。

宙斯决定把她作为礼物送给世间的男子。于是信使赫耳墨斯将她带给普罗米修斯的弟弟厄庇墨透斯。她姿容绝美，见者无不为之倾心。厄庇墨透斯兴高采烈地把她迎入屋内。普罗米修斯警告过他不得接受宙斯的任何馈赠，而他已将之忘于脑后。这一对夫妻有过一段幸福的生活，但不久灾难却降临人间。

当普罗米修斯忙于教授人们生存之道的时候，他把一个桶托付给厄庇墨透斯。他警告过他的弟

弟不要打开桶盖。潘多拉好奇心强。她的丈夫不允许她看桶中之物，这使她感到十分懊恼。一天乘厄庇墨透斯出门在外，她打开桶盖，从桶里跑出的是不和与战争，瘟疫与疾病，偷窃与暴力，悲哀与忧虑，以及其他一些人类从此要遭受的不幸。只有希望被关在桶口，永远飞不出来，因此人们常常把希望藏于心中。

有一个9岁的男孩非常喜欢鸽子，每天早晨他都要到广场去喂鸽子。渐渐地，那些鸽子和小男孩熟悉了，它们会毫无顾忌地飞落到小男孩脚下，甚至飞到他肩膀上和手掌上。

有一天，美术老师对小男孩说："你能带一只鸽子到课堂上来吗?我们要学画鸽子。"()小男孩爽快地答应了，他带回了一只洁白的小鸽子。那堂美术课，同学们画得格外认真。

然而当小男孩将那只鸽子放飞到广场时，那一群鸽子开始用惊惧的眼神盯着他，他一走近任何一只鸽子，所有的鸽子都会飞走。从此，再也没有鸽子愿意飞到他身边了。

只是一次背弃，小男孩便失去了一群亲密的朋友，这是多么痛心呀，人与人之间何尝不是如此呢，无论友情和爱情，都容不下一点欺骗，一次背弃便会造成一条难以弥补的鸿沟。相互间的信任是无价的，一旦失去，用什么也换不回。

笨大狼在树林里捡树枝。狐狸看到了问：“大狼你为什么捡树枝呀？”笨大狼说：“我要在院子里围一道树枝栅栏。”狐狸眨巴眨巴小眼睛对笨大狼说：“捡树枝多费劲呀。”

笨大狼说：“怎么做不费劲呢？”“你等着。”狐狸说完就转身走了。不一会儿，狐狸回来了，笑嘻嘻地送给笨大狼一把斧头。

笨大狼就拿着斧头去砍树。长颈鹿看见了，对笨大狼说：“你怎么能砍树呢。”

笨大狼说：“少管闲事，一边待着去。”

小松鼠看见了，对笨大狼说：“不能砍树呀。”笨大狼说：“我的事不要你管。”

小白兔看见了，对笨大狼说：“砍树是破坏环境，你这样做是很危险的。”笨大狼说：“少废话，你懂什么呀。”

笨大狼砍倒一大片树林，在院子里围了一道栅栏。笨大狼对自己的杰作很满意。猎人来了，狐狸慌忙钻进山洞，树林没了，笨大狼无处藏身，只好做了猎人的俘虏。

小鸟们编了一首儿歌，在笨大狼被押的地方唱：“笨大狼，尾巴长，树木砍个精光光，猎人来了无处藏。”

In 1882 a baby girl caught a fever that was so fierce she nearly died. She survived but the fever left its mark she could no longer see or hear. Because she could not hear she also found it very difficult to speak.

1882年，一名女婴因高发烧差点丧命。她虽幸免于难，但发烧给她留下了后遗症 她再也看不见、听不见。因为听不见，她想讲话也变得很困难。

So how did this child, blinded and deafened at 19 months old, grow up to become a world-famous author and public speaker?

那么这样一个在19个月时就既盲又聋的孩子，是如何成长为享誉世界的作家和演说家的呢？

The fever cut her off from the outside world, depriving her of sight and sound. It was as if she had been thrown into a dark prison cell from which there could be no release.

高烧将她与外界隔开，使她失去了视力和声音。她仿佛置身在黑暗的牢笼中无法摆脱。

Luckily Helen was not someone who gave up easily. Soon she began to explore the world by using her other senses. She followed her mother wherever she went, hanging onto her skirts, She touched and smelled everything she came across. She copied their actions and was soon able to do certain jobs herself, like milking the cows or kneading dough, She even learnt to recognize people by feeling their faces or their clothes. She could also tell where she was in the garden by the smell of the different plants and the feel of the ground under her feet.

万幸的是海伦并不是个轻易认输的人。不久她就开始利用其它的感官来探查这个世界了。她跟着母亲，拉着母亲的衣角，形影不离。她去触摸，去嗅各种她碰到的物品。她模仿别人的动作且很快就能自己做一些事情，例如挤牛奶或揉面。她甚至学会*摸别人的脸或衣服来识别对方。她还能*闻不同的植物和触摸地面来辨别自己在花园的位置。

By the age of seven she had invented over 60 different signs by which she could talk to her family, If she wanted bread for example, she would pretend to cut a loaf and butter the slices. If she wanted ice cream she wrapped her arms around herself and pretended to shiver.

七岁的时候她发明了60多种不同的手势，*此得以和家里人交流。比如她若想要面包，就会做出切面包和涂黄油的动作。想要冰淇淋时她会用手裹住自己装出发抖的样子。

Helen was unusual in that she was extremely intelligent and also remarkably sensitive. By her own efforts she had managed to make some sense of an alien and confusing world. But even so she had limitations.

海伦在这方面非比一般，她绝顶的聪明又相当敏感。通过努力她对这个陌生且迷惑的世界有了一些知识。但她仍有一些有足。

At the age of five Helen began to realize she was different from other people. She noticed that her family did not use signs like she did but talked with their mouths. Sometimes she stood between two people and touched their lips. She could not understand what they said and she could not make any meaningful sounds herself. She wanted to talk but no matter how she tried she could not make herself understood. This make her so angry that she used to hurl herself around the room, kicking and screaming in frustration.   海伦五岁时开始意识到她与别人不同。她发现家里的其他人不用象她那样做手势而是用嘴交谈。有时她站在两人中间触摸他们的嘴唇。她不知道他们在说什么，而她自己不能发出带有含义的声音。她想讲话，可无论费多大的劲儿也无法使别人明白自己。这使她异常懊恼以至于常常在屋子里乱跑乱撞，灰心地又踢又喊。

As she got older her frustration grew and her rages became worse and worse. She became wild and unruly . If she didnt get what she wanted she would throw tantrums until her family gave in. Her favourite tricks included grabbing other peoples food from their plates and hurling fragile objects to the floor. Once she even managed to lock her mother into the pantry. Eventually it became clear that something had to be done. So, just before her seventh birthday, the family hired a private tutor Anne Sullivan.

随着年龄的增长她的怒气越为越大。她变得狂野不驯。倘若她得不到想要的东西就会大发脾气直到家人顺从。她惯用的手段包括抓别人盘里的食物以及将易碎的东西猛扔在地。有一次她甚至将母亲锁在厨房里。这样一来就得想个办法了。于是，在她快到七岁生日时，家里便雇了一名家庭教师 安尼沙利文。

Anne was careful to teach Helen especially those subjects in which she was interested. As a result Helen became gentler and she soon learnt to read and write in Braille. She also learnt to read peoples lips by pressing her finger-tips against them and feeling the movement and vibrations. This method is called Tadoma and it is a skill that very, very few people manage to acquire. She also learnt to speak, a major achievement for someone who could not hear at all.

安尼悉心地教授海伦，特别是她感兴趣的东西。这样海伦变得温和了而且很快学会了用布莱叶盲文朗读和写作。*用手指接触说话人的嘴唇去感受运动和震动，她又学会了触唇意识。这种方法被称作泰德马，是一种很少有人掌握的技能。她也学会了讲话，这对失聪的人来说是个巨大的成就。

Helen proved to be a remarkable scholar, graduating with honours from Radcliffe College in 1904. She had phenomenal powers of concentration and memory, as well as a dogged determination to succeed. While she was still at college she wrote ‘The Story of My Life. This was an immediate success and earned her enough money to buy her own house.

海伦证明了自己是个出色的学者，1904年她以优异的成绩从拉德克利夫学院毕业。她有惊人的注意力和记忆力，同时她还具有不达目的誓不罢休的毅力。上大学时她就写了《我的生命》。这使她取得了巨大的成功从而有能力为自己购买一套住房。

She toured the country, giving lecture after lecture. Many books were written about her and several plays and films were made about her life. Eventually she became so famous that she was invited abroad and received many honours from foreign universities and monarchs. In 1932 she became a vice-president of the Royal National Institute for the Blind in the United Kingdom.

她周游全国，不断地举行讲座。她的事迹为许多人著书立说而且还上演了关于她的生平的戏剧和电影。最终她声名显赫，应邀出国并受到外国大学和国王授予的荣誉。1932年，她成为英国皇家国立盲人学院的副校长。

After her death in 1968 an organization was set up in her name to combat blindness in the developing world. Today that agency, Helen Keller International, is one of the biggest organizations working with blind people overseas.

1968年她去世后，一个以她的名字命名的组织建立起来，该组织旨在与发展中国家存在的失明缺陷做斗争。如今这所机构，“国际海伦凯勒”，是海外向盲人提供帮助的最大组织之一。

第一篇：续写坐井观天听了小鸟的话，青蛙奋力一跳，从井底跳出来，眼前一亮，哇，原来天真的好大。青蛙红着脸说：对不起小鸟，我应该相信你说的话。小鸟说：没关系。青蛙说：我听别的青蛙说前面不远的地方有一个池塘，咱们一块儿去那里吧。青蛙和小鸟成为了好朋友。青蛙想：井里太小了，我再也不回井里了。从此青蛙过上了幸福的生活。

第二篇：续写坐井观天 这一天，青蛙坐在井底没事干，又抬头看见了像井口一样大的天，想起了那天，小鸟说的天无边无际大得很，心想：如果，我跳出井口不就知道天到地有多大了吗!于是，青蛙前腿一伸，后腿用力一蹬，跳出了井口。

青蛙来到井口外面，看见了一眼望不到边的天空，红红的花、绿绿的草、清清的小河、茂密的树林，听到了树叶在沙沙地说悄悄话，小鸟在唧唧喳喳地叫妈妈，小河在哗哗地唱歌，青蛙看着这一切吃惊极了!

这时，小鸟飞了过来，青蛙看见，急忙叫道：小鸟，小鸟。小鸟听见喊声，往下一看，原来是那只井底之蛙，小鸟飞到青蛙旁边。青蛙看着小鸟，不好意思地说：小鸟，你说天无边无际是对的，原来我住在井底，以为天只有井口大，没想到外面的世界是这样大，这样美丽!小鸟笑着说：只要你亲近大自然，就能增长许多见识，知道许多知识。

从此，青蛙就在池塘里安家落户了，过着快乐而多姿多彩的大自然生活。

第三篇：续写坐井观天 青蛙听了小鸟的话，跳出了井口。

青蛙跳出井口一看，哇!天原来这么宽广啊!大地也这么宽广啊!青蛙还看到了高高的大树、青青的草地和五颜六色的鲜花，漂亮的蝴蝶在花丛中飞舞，还有一望无际的农田、川流不息的大河

小鸟问青蛙：你还愿意回到井里吗?青蛙红着脸说：我不愿意。因为井里的世界太小，外面的世界宽广。

Bob Richards, the former pole-vault champion, shares a moving story about a skinny young boy who loved football with all his heart.

Practice after practice, he eagerly gave everything he had. But being half the size of the other boys, he got absolutely nowhere. At all the games, this hopeful athlete sat on the bench and hardly ever played.

This teenager lived alone with his father, and the two of them had a very special relationship. Even though the son was always On the bench, his father was always in the stands cheering. He never missed a game. This young man was still the smallest of the class when he entered high school. But his father continued to encourage him but also made it very clear that he did not have to play football if he didn‘t want to.

But the young man loved football and decided to hang in there He was determined to try his best at every practice, and perhaps he‘d get to play when he became a senior. All through high school he never missed a practice nor a game but remained a bench-warmer all four years. His faithful father was always in the stands, always with words of encouragement for him. When the young man went to college, he decided to try out for the football team as a "walk-on." Everyone was sure he could never make the cut, but he did.

The coach admitted that he kept him on the roster because he always puts his heart and soul to every practice, and at the same time, provided the other members with the spirit and hustle they badly needed.

The news that he had survived the cut thrilled him so much that he rushed to the nearest phone and called his father. His father shared his excitement and was sent season tickets for all the college games. This persistent young athlete never missed practice during his four years at college, but he never got to play in a game.

It was the end of his senior football season, and as he trotted onto the practice field shortly before the big playoff game, the coach met him with a telegram. The young man read the telegram and he became deathly silent. Swallowing hard, he mumbled to the coach, "My father died this morning. Is it all right if I miss practice today?" The coach put his arm gently around his shoulder and said, "Take the rest of the week off, son. And don‘t even plan to come back to the game on Saturday."

Saturday arrived, and the game was not going well. In the third quarter,when the team was ten points behind, a silent young man quietly slipped into the empty locker room and put on his football gear. As he ran onto the sidelines, the coach and his players were astounded to see their faithful teammate back so soon. "Coach, please let me play. I‘ve just got to play today," said the young man. The coach pretended not to hear him. There was no way he wanted his worst player in this close playoff game. But the young man persisted, and finally feeling sorry for the kid, the coach gave in. "All right," he said."You can go in." Before long, the coach, the players and everyone in the stands could not believe their eyes. This little unknown, who had never played before was doing everything right. The opposing team could not stop him. He ran, he passed, blocked, and tackled like a star. His team began to triumph. The score was soon tied. In the closing seconds of the game, this kid intercepted a pass and ran all the way for the winning touchdown. The fans broke loose. His teammates hoisted him onto their shoulders. Such cheering you never heard.

Finally, after the stands had emptied and the team had showered and left the locker room, the coach noticed that this young man was sitting quietly in the corner all alone The coach came to him and said, " Kid, I can‘t believe it. You were fantastic! Tell me what got into you? How did you do it?"

He looked at the coach, with tears in his eyes, and said, "Well, you knew my dad died, but did you know that my dad was blind?" The young man swallowed hard and forced a smile, "Dad came to all my games, but today was the first time he could see me play, and I wanted to show him I could do it!"

Like the athlete‘s father, God is always there cheering for us. He‘s always reminding us to go on. He‘s even offering us His hand for He knows what is best, and is willing to give us what we need and not simply what we want. GOD has never missed a single game. What a joy to know that life is meaningful if lived for the Highest. Live for HIM for He‘s watching us in the game of life!

一天早上，天气晴朗。小动物们在河边玩，小鸭子在水坑边，小熊在河边打水，小鸟在唱歌，小猴子在树上荡秋千，小象呢？他啊，躲在灌木丛后面玩游戏呢！

忽然，小鸭子不小心掉进了一个大水坑里。它大叫：“救命啊！救命啊！”小鸟最先听见求救声，转身一看，啊！是小鸭子掉进水坑里了，他连忙对大伙说：“不好了，不好了！小鸭子掉进水坑里了”小猴听到小鸟的叫声，他想：我可以用我的长尾巴钩根树枝去救小鸭子。于是，小猴子连忙跑到水坑边，用根树枝去救小鸭子，可是小猴试了好几次都失败了。

这时，小象也听到了叫声赶到水坑边。他说：“我可以用我的长鼻子去卷小鸭子。”结果也没成功。

正在大伙焦急万分时，小熊提着一只水桶也赶到了水坑边。他说：“我的水桶应该有用吧！”于是小熊拿着水桶到河边打了一桶水，然后跑到水坑边，把水慢慢得倒入水坑里，小鸭子动了动。接着，小熊来来回回跑了好几次，水坑里的水渐渐的多了起来，小鸭子慢慢的浮了上来，他划着水游出了水坑，小鸭子得救了，他对着小熊说：“谢谢你，谢谢大家的帮忙。”“不用谢”。大伙异口同声的回答。

于是，小鸭子拉着小熊、小猴、小象和小鸟一起开开心心地去玩了。

《一路花香》是一则寓言故事，讲了一只有裂缝的水罐在完好的水罐面前感到惭愧，挑水工却告诉他说，从它的裂缝漏出的水浇灌出了美丽的花。我挺喜欢这个故事，因为这个故事的题目很美，一语双关，既写了花美、花香，还暗含着对浇灌鲜花的挑水工和破水罐的认同。更重要的是告诉学生如何正确地看待自己和别人，帮助学生树立正确的人生价值观：世上任何一件东西一个人，都有其自身存在的价值，我们即不要骄傲自大，也不要妄自菲薄，只要恰到好处地利用其本身的特点，就能充分发挥作用。其蕴涵的人生哲理学生是容易理解的，但对于四年级的孩子，多元解读文本、辩证分析问题却是有一定难度的。于是，在教学这一课时，我把“理解故事所蕴含的真正寓意，学会正确地看待别人和自己。”确定为本课的学习目标。为了更好地达成目标，我将学习目标分解为两个学习任务：

如何让学生真正读懂“我们即不要骄傲自大，也不要妄自菲薄，只要恰到好处地利用其本身的特点，就能充分发挥作用。”为此，我引导学生对课文中的角色惊醒一分为二地辩证地分析：那只完好无损的水罐，它总是能将水满满地送到主人的家，是值得骄傲的!主人家不都需要这样的好水罐吗?但是这只好水罐如果为自己的成就而感到骄傲自满，看不起别人那就不可取了。用同样的方法分析了破水罐，让学生在辩证的思想中揭示了课文的寓意，“收获了一路花香”。这种说话练习锻炼了学生的说话能力，也帮学生树立了正确的人生价值观。

但是教学中还存在这样一些问题：

一、读得形式不够多：

在教学时由于时间紧张，导致给学生读书思考的时间较多，各种形式的朗读和展示较少。语文教学课堂上没有把握好读书的时间，缺乏一定的读的训练，特别是文中的一些重点句，孩子们朗读的不够到位，学生的情感没有在读中深化。

二、牵着学生走：

课上完了，课上呈现孩子氛围较好，但总感觉牵着孩子走的痕迹严重。也是这节课的最大缺陷，因为教师的理性和牵制过多，限制了学生的思维，导致学生思维浮于表面，不能深入思考，课堂上没有生成，所以也没有火花。我感到问题的设计，教师的引导，特别是运用学生的生成性资源，还有待进一步的提高。放手让孩子学感兴趣的人物，让学生多思考、多读书是我下次磨课应该特别注意的地方。

有位秀才第三次进京赶考，住在一个经常住的店里。考试前两天他做了三个梦，第一个梦是梦到自我在墙上种白菜，第二个梦是下雨天，他戴了斗笠还打伞，第三个梦是梦到跟心爱的表妹躺在一齐，但是背靠着背。这三个梦似乎有些深意，秀才第二天就赶紧去找算命的解梦。算命的一听，连拍大腿说："你还是回家吧。你想想，高墙上种菜不是白费劲吗?戴

斗笠打雨伞不是多此一举吗?跟表妹躺在一张床上了，却背靠背，不是没戏吗?"秀才一听，心灰意冷，回店收拾包袱准备回家。店老板十分奇怪，问："不是明天才考试吗，这天你怎样就回乡了?"秀才如此这般说了一番，店老板乐了："哟，我也会解梦的。我倒觉得，你这次必须要留下来。你想想，墙上种菜不是高种吗?戴斗笠打伞不是说明你这次有备无患吗?跟你表妹背靠背躺在床上，不是说明你翻身的时候就要到了吗?"秀才一听，更有道理，于是精神振奋地参加考试，居然中了个探花。

励志寓意：用心的人，象太阳，照到哪里哪里亮，消极的人，象月亮，初一十五不一样。想法决定我们的生活，有什么样的想法，就有什么样的未来。

【望梅止渴】

东汉末年，曹操带兵去攻打张绣，一路行军，走得非常辛苦。时值盛夏，太阳火辣辣地挂在空中，散发着巨大的热量，大地都快被烤焦了。曹操的军队已经走了很多天了，十分疲乏。这一路上又都是荒山秃岭，没有人烟，方圆数十里都没有水源。将士们想尽了办法，始终都弄不到一滴水喝。头顶烈日，战士们一个个被晒得头昏眼花，大汗淋淋，可是又找不到水喝，大家都口干舌燥，感觉喉咙里好像着了火，许多人的嘴唇都干裂得不成样子，鲜血直淌。每走几里路，就有人倒下中暑死去，就是身体强壮的士兵，也渐渐地快支持不住了。

曹操目睹这样的情景，心里非常焦急。他策马奔向旁边一个山岗，在山岗上极目远眺，想找个有水的地方。可是他失望地发现，龟裂的土地一望无际，干旱的地区大得很。再回头看看士兵，一个个东倒西歪，早就渴得受不了，看上去怕是难得再走多远了。

曹操是个聪明的人，他在心里盘算道：这一下可糟糕了，找不到水，这么耗下去，不但会贻误战机，还会有不少的人马要损失在这里，想个什么办法来鼓舞士气，激励大家走出干旱地带呢?

曹操想了又想，突然灵机一动，脑子里蹦出个好点子。他就在山岗上，抽出令旗指向前方，大声喊道：“前面不远的地方有一大片梅林，结满了又大又酸又甜的梅子，大家再坚持一下，走到那里吃到梅子就能解渴了!”

战士们听了曹操的话，想起梅子的酸味，就好像真的吃到了梅子一样，口里顿时生出了不少口水，精神也振作起来，鼓足力气加紧向前赶去。就这样，曹操终于率领军队走到了有水的地方。

曹操利用人们对梅子酸味的条件反射，成功地克服了干渴的困难。可见人们在遇到困难时，不要一味畏惧不前，应该时时用对成功的渴望来激励自己，就会有足够的勇气去战胜困难，到达成功的彼岸。

【三人同屋】

有这么三个人，性情爱好各不相同，又同住在一间屋子里，常常为一些事情争论不休。

一天，甲从外面回来，由于在外面赶路便觉得燥热，一进门便嚷着屋里太闷太热，随手将门窗全都大开。乙在家呆了一天，哪里也没去，正觉浑身寒冷，便责怪甲不该打开门窗。两个人互不相让，一个要开，一个要关，一个说闷，一个说冷，为一点小事闹了好半天。丙从外面回来，一听甲、乙各自的说法，心里便清楚是怎么一回事了，可是甲和乙都认为丙这个人天性愚笨，因此根本听不进丙的劝解，都认为只有自己才是对的。

又一次，乙从集市买回一只纸糊的灯笼，一进门便遭到甲的反对，甲责怪乙没买绸罩的灯笼，绸罩的灯笼又好看又高贵;乙则说纸糊的灯笼点亮后一样漂亮，价钱却要比绸灯笼便宜好多。甲说纸灯笼便宜但不如绸灯笼耐用;乙说买一只绸灯笼可买十只纸灯笼;甲说宁买一只绸灯笼也不要十只纸灯笼;乙说十只纸灯笼可变换花色品种……丙夹在两人中间，一会儿劝甲，一会儿劝乙，可是依然不能使甲和乙停止争吵。

甲和乙在争吵时总是强调自己的理由，只注意自己对的一面，却看不到自己的偏激。而丙，虽然比甲、乙要笨一些，但由于他没有参与争吵，所以他能较客观地看问题，所以他能判断谁是谁非。

我们平时处世待人，不能像甲和乙那样，固执已见，主观偏激，而应像丙那样，客观冷静，我们的头脑就能明辨是非。

【空中楼阁】

从前，有个有钱人，他生来愚蠢，又不愿意读书学习，却自以为是，骄傲得很，常常干出一些让人哭笑不得的事来。

有一次，他到另一个有钱人家里去做客，见到人家的府第是一座三层楼的楼房，高大威风，又宽敞壮丽，看上去很是阔气不说，站在三层楼上，还能看见远方美丽的景致，真是妙极了。他心下不禁十分羡慕，想道：要是我也有一幢这样的三层楼房，那该多好啊!我也可以站在我的三层楼上，喝茶观景，要多惬意就有多惬意!

要盖楼房，钱自然是不愁的。他回到家里，马上叫人请来泥瓦匠，吩咐道：“给我建一座三层楼房，越快越好!”

于是泥瓦匠立刻开始动工，打地基、和泥、垒砖头，开始修建楼房的第一层。

有钱人天天跑到工地上去看，头几天地基打好了。又过了几天，垒了几层砖。再过几天，砖垒高了一点。有钱人想楼房都快想疯了，而今过了这么些天，他的楼房还没影子，实在等得不耐烦了，就跑去问泥瓦匠：“你们这是建造的什么房子啊，怎么一点也不像我要的楼房呢?”

泥瓦匠答道：“不是照您的吩咐在建楼房吗?这就是第一层了。”

有钱人又问：“这么说，你们还要修第二层啰?”

泥瓦匠奇怪地回答：“当然了，有什么问题吗?”

有钱人暴跳如雷，勃然变色道：“蠢东西，我看中的是第三层，叫你们修的也是第三层，第一层、第二层我都有，还修它作什么?”

这个有钱人真是可气又可笑，没有第一、第二层楼房，哪里来第三层呢?做事情要踏踏实实，打好基础，否则我们的理想就好像这个有钱人的空中楼阁一样，永远是虚幻的东西。

【以少胜多的原理：曹刿论战】

战国时期，鲁庄公十年的春天，齐国攻打鲁国，鲁庄公准备迎战。

鲁国有一位谋士叫曹刿，他请求见鲁庄公，要参加对齐国的战争。曹刿的同乡说：“享受俸禄的高官们会谋划这件事，你又何必参与其中?”曹刿说：“这些高官目光短浅，不能深谋远虑。”因此他来到王宫要求觐见。

曹刿见到了鲁庄公，问道：“请问大王凭什么条件去抵抗齐军?”

鲁庄公说：“平时有什么好吃好穿的，我都不敢独占，总是分给大家一起享用。”

曹刿说：“这种小恩小惠不可能遍及每个人，百姓不会因此服从您。”

鲁庄公说：“祭祀时用的牛羊祭品，我都详细地禀报给神灵，没有半点不诚实。”

曹刿笑笑说：“小的信用不能让神信任，神不会为此降福于您。”

鲁庄公想了想，说：“对待百姓们的大小案件，虽然我无法一一明察，但总是尽量按事实和情理来处理。”

曹刿这才点头说：“这是您忠于职守的表现，凭这一点可以和齐国作战。如果开战，请让我跟随您一起去吧!”

于是，鲁庄公和曹刿同乘一辆战车。在长勺，双方军队摆开阵列。鲁庄公要击鼓进军，曹刿说：“还不行。”等到齐军击了三次鼓后，曹刿才说：“可以击鼓进军了。”这时鲁国的士兵如猛虎下山，英勇无敌，齐军被打得大败。

鲁庄公要下令乘胜追击齐军，曹刿说：“还不行。”曹刿下了车，认真察看地上齐军战车辗过的痕迹，然后又登上车，扶着车前的横木仔细远望齐军的队形，最后说：“可以了。”于是鲁军乘胜追击齐军，赢得了战争的胜利。

战争结束后，鲁庄公向曹刿请教得胜的原因。曹刿回答说：“作战主要靠的是勇气。第一次击鼓能振作士兵的勇气;第二次击鼓，士兵的勇气就减弱了;待到第三次击鼓时，士兵的勇气就消耗尽了。齐军三次击鼓后，勇气已尽，而我军的勇气正旺盛，所以我们能战胜他们。刚才大王下令追击时，我恐怕有埋伏，于是便仔细观察。我看齐军战车车轮的痕迹混乱，又望见他们的军旗东倒西歪，所以才让您下令追击他们。”

【说明】 在这则寓言中，齐强鲁弱，但曹刿通过认真调查，仔细分析，针对每种情况作出相应的对策，终于使小国战胜了大国。

小猪与小狗

在一座充满欢声笑语的森林里面，住着一对十分要好的动物——小猪和小狗。它们两个形影不离，经常串门、做游戏，每天生活都过得开开心心的。

一天，小狗又到小猪家串门，他看见小猪躺在床上。小狗关切地问：“小猪，你怎么啦？”

小猪有气无力地回答：“我生病了，没办法下床。你来了正好，我的田里的庄稼长了很多的害虫，你下午有空能帮我捉一下虫吗？不然我那刚种下庄稼可能没救啦！”

小狗爽快地答应了：“好的，没问题，你只管安心地养病吧！”

到了下午，猴子、小鹿到小狗家玩。玩着玩着，小狗把答应小猪的事忘得一干二净。

到了第三天，小猪病好了，到自家田里看看庄稼长得好不好。可是，他发现田里的庄稼全部被害虫吃光了。小猪伤心极了，去找小狗理论，他们还大吵了一架。

失去了好朋友，小猪度日如年，他不禁想起以往他们在一起的欢乐时光。小猪越想越觉得自己那天态度很不好，不分青红皂白，就大骂了小狗，对小狗的解释一定也听不进去。对了，退一步海阔天空，我应该先向小狗道歉。

于是，他提着一袋骨头要到小狗家。半路上，他看见小狗竟然在自己的田里补种庄稼。这时，小狗也看见了小猪，他们相视而笑。

小猪忙说：“小狗，对不起！我不该……”

没等小猪话说完，小狗抢过话头：“不，应该我向你道歉，我答应你的事没做到，我这两天一直在自责。我想等补种完庄稼，就去你家。”

两个朋友握手言好，一起干了起来。

天鹅、虾和梭子鱼是三个好朋友，它们三个商量着，准备一块儿拉车子到城里去。 这天，它们把车子准备好，东西也都放上去了。三个好朋友把拉车的绳子套到身上后，开始拉车了。可是，它们使尽全身力气的拉，车子却一动也不动。咦，到底出了什么毛病呢?我们来看一看。 天鹅把绳子的一头拴住车子，自己拉住了绳子的另一头。然后，展翅飞向高空。虾呢，它只会往后蹦，它把绳子套在身上拼命地往后拉去。至于梭子鱼呢，它更干脆，拉住另一个绳头，往池塘底下猛拽。它们三个都在拼命地拉，可是忙了半天，车子还是在原处。

它们三个喘着粗气，卸下拉车绳，仔仔细细地查了一遍，也没发现任何毛病啊。 这时候，天也不早了，它们心里都特别着急。休息了一会儿，又准备上路了。在天鹅的一声号令下，三个朋友使劲地拉车，可它们还是飞的飞，退的退，钻的钻，天鹅累得脸发白，虾累得满脸通红，梭子鱼累得更惨，全身土灰色，像死去一样。可是车呢，却好像故意和它们作对一样，照样在原地，一

动也不动。

小朋友，你们说，像它们这样拉车，能拉动吗?

陆象先是唐朝一个很有气量的人。

当时太平公主专权，宰相萧至忠、岑义等大臣都投靠他，只有象先洁身自好，从不去巴结。

先天二年，太平公主事发被杀，萧至忠等被诛。受这件事牵连的人很多，象先暗中化解，救了许多人，那些人事后都不知道。

先天三年，象先出任剑南道按察使，一个司马劝象先说：“希望明公采取些杖罚来树立威名。要不然，恐怕没人会听我们的。”

象先说：“当政的人讲理就可以了，何必要讲严刑呢?这不是宽厚人的所为。”

六年，象先出任蒲州刺史。吏民有罪了，大多开导教育一番，就放了。录事对象先说：“明公您不鞭打他们，哪里有威风!”

象先说：“人情都差不多的，难道他们不明白我的话?如果要用刑，我看应该先从你开始。”录事惭愧地退了下去。

象先常常说：“天下本来无事，都是人自己给自己找麻烦，才将事情越弄越糟。如果在开始就能清醒这一点，事情就简单多了。”
