英语白雪公主故事短文30词【最新20篇】

Jerry was the kind of guy you love to hate. He was always in a good mood and always had something positive to say. When someone would ask him how he was doing, he would reply, "If I were any better, I would be twins!"

He was a unique manager because he had several waiters who had followed him around from restaurant to restaurant. The reason the waiters followed Jerry was because of his attitude. He was a natural motivator. If an employee was having a bad day, Jerry was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation.

Seeing this really made me curious, so one day I went up to Jerry and asked him, "I don‘t get it! You can‘t be a positive person all of the time. How do you do it?" Jerry replied, "Each morning I wake up and say to myself, Jerry, you have two choices today. You can choose to be in a good mood or you can choose to be in a bad mood.‘ I choose to be in a good mood. Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or I can choose to learn from it. I choose to learn from it. Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their complaining or I can point out the positive side of life. I choose the positive side of life."

"Yeah, right, it‘s not that easy," I protested.

"Yes it is," Jerry said. "Life is all about choices. When you cut away all the junk, every situation is a choice. You choose how you react to situations. You choose how people will affect your mood. You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood. The bottom line: It‘s your choice how you live life."

I reflected on what Jerry said. Soon thereafter, I left the restaurant industry to start my own business. We lost touch, but often thought about him when I made a choice about life instead of reacting to it.

Several years later, I heard that Jerry did something you are never supposed to do in a restaurant business: he left the back door open one morning and was held up at gunpoint by three armed robbers. While trying to open the safe, his hand, shaking from nervousness, slipped off the combination. The robbers panicked and shot him. Luckily, Jerry was found relatively quickly and rushed to the local trauma center. After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, Jerry was released from the hospital with fragments of the bullets still in his body.

I saw Jerry about six months after the accident. When I asked him how he was, he replied, "If I were any better, I‘d be twins. Wanna see my scars?"

I declined to see his wounds, but did ask him what had gone through his mind as the robbery took place. "The first thing that went through my mind was that I should have locked the back door," Jerry replied. "Then, as I lay on the floor, I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live, or I could choose to die. I chose to live.

"Weren‘t you scared? Did you lose consciousness?" I asked. Jerry continued, "The paramedics were great. They kept telling me I was going to be fine. But when they wheeled me into the emergency room and I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared. In their eyes, I read, ‘He‘s a dead man. " I knew I needed to take action."

"What did you do?" I asked.

"Well, there was a big, burly nurse shouting questions at me," said Jerry. "She asked if I was allergic to anything. ‘Yes,‘ I replied. The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply.. I took a deep breath and yelled, ‘Bullets!‘ Over their laughter, I told them, ‘I am choosing to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead."

Jerry lived thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude. I learned from him that every day we have the choice to live fully. Attitude, after all, is everything.

In the Spring and Autumn Period (春秋时期,770-476 BC), in the State of Qi there was a man who always let his imagination run away with him.

春秋战国时期，杞国有个人喜欢胡思乱想。

One day he even worried that the sky would fall on his head. He was so worried that he could neither eat nor sleep.

一天，他竟然担忧天会塌下来，地会陷下去，自己无处存身。这个人越想越害怕，便整天愁眉苦脸，坐立不安，睡不好觉，吃不下饭。

Later, someone persuade him that his fears were groundless.

后来，有个人就去开导他，那个杞国人听后，才放下了心。

This idioms satirizes those who worry unnecessarily.

成语杞人忧天讥笑那些没有必要或毫无根据的忧虑。

“Why need our care?’

“Because from then on the aunt cannot do what they liked to along with her daughter. She is very pitiful. In her distress, making dinners and doing chores are also becoming so difficult. My dear, can you help Mother hit an idea to help the aunt in other ways?”

At her mother’s proposal, the girl thought for a long while. All of a sudden, she went to the neighbor and knocked at the door.

The neighbor with a look of haggardness and tiredness opened the door.

“What can I do for you?” asked the neighbor.

“I heard my mother say you’re very distressed for losing your daughter…” The girl timidly handed the band-aid tightly held in her hand to the neighbor.

The neighbor suddenly choked with sobs, her tears gushing from her eyes. She hugged the girl and said, “Thank you. This band-aid will cure my wound.”

【中文翻译】

“妈妈，您在忙什么呢?”还不到6岁的女孩，好奇的问妈妈。

“给邻居家的阿姨做饭。”

“为什么?”

“前几天阿姨失去了心爱的女儿，现在很伤心。我们这几天要好好照顾她。”

“为什么需要我们照顾呢?”

“阿姨以后不能和她女儿一起做他们喜欢做的事了，很可怜。人在极度悲伤时，做饭和料理家务也会变得很难。女儿，你能不能也帮妈妈想想其他能帮助阿姨做的事呢?”

女孩听到妈妈的提议，认真的思考了很久，突然走到邻居家敲响了门。

一脸憔悴和疲惫的邻居开了门。

“有什么事吗?”邻居问道。

“听妈妈说，您因为失去了女儿，非常痛苦……”女孩羞涩的把攥在手里的创可贴递给了邻居。

“阿姨，把这个贴在胸口吧，那样你的心就不会痛了。”

邻居突然哽咽起来，泪水夺眶而出。她抱住女孩说：“谢谢，这个创可贴会治好我的伤口的。”

希腊哲学家德莫克里特肯定地说，我们总是被自己的感觉所欺骗，而另一个哲学家赫拉克里特却明确地表示说，感觉从来不会欺骗我们。这两人的学说都有各自的道理。这在哲学上是常有的事，人们常常根据感觉作出错误的结论。如果人们在远近的距离、周围的环境、人的感官差异以及使用的工具方面，对被反映的事物的形象作出修正，感觉就会再欺骗我们。

大自然精巧地反映了这一切，我在将来还会继续论述这一主题。我们观察太阳的感觉如何呢?从地球上看，这巨大的星体看上去圆周也就是一米，但假如我们从太空去看又会是什么样子呢?通过其距离判断大小，根据角和勾股关系，我的手就能测出其直径。缺少知识的人认为太阳是扁平的，但我却认为它是个球形，它看来并不运动，而是地球在围绕着它转动。总之，对着太阳我应否定我的眼睛，这样我的视觉影像就丝毫不妨碍我的判断。我只要一有机会，就去展示隐藏在外表里面的真实本质。

耳朵听声音太慢，眼睛看物体显得匆忙，所以我基本不相信它们。棍子插进水里由于光线的折射而显得不直，知识使人懂得这一道理，理性将对这一切作出判断。借助于理性的帮助，我的眼睛尽管常常骗自己，但我却从来没有搞错。

假如我相信感官的反映，那么一个女人的头就可能出现在月亮里面。这事可能吗?肯定是不可能的。这是一种常犯的错误。但如何得出头像的结论呢?原来，从地球上看，一些起伏不平的月球表面产生了这一种视觉效果。月球表面不可能是一抹平地，有些地方是平原，而一些地方又是山岗，由于反射的光线明暗变化，所以形成了一个人、一头牛或者一头象的形象。

最近，英国科学家从望远镜里看到了一只新奇的动物出现在美丽的月球上。大家叫嚷着认为真是个奇迹。星球上能有变化，毫无疑问将预示有一场巨变，谁说得准呢?怎么知道列强间的战争和这一种天象就没有一点儿关连?国王闻讯，立刻以君主的身份要使这门高深的学问得以迅速发展，闹了半天，这月中怪物在研究中把原形给暴露：却原来是一只藏在玻璃镜片后面的小老鼠。看来战争爆发的原因可以在望远镜中得到解释。大家如释重负，相视大笑不止。你看!英国人是多么的幸福!法国人在什么时候才能像他们那样研究出结果，从而也好结束这场旷日持久的战争。战争一次次地给我们带来了胜利的荣誉，畏惧战争的正是我们的敌人，好战的是我们自己，因为胜利就像我们法国路易十四国王的情妇一样，与他四处相随，他的盖世功绩将使法国彪炳史册，诗神缪斯也将讴歌这段历史，我们为此感到特别的高兴。

和平绝不会让我们叹息，而只会使我们产生希望。英王查理二世懂得享受和平，他曾在战时就指出了和平的价值，结果他让英国在战争的一边袖手旁观。假若他能平息这场战争，我们真该向他大礼参拜烧高香!难道他算不上最值得尊敬的君王?难道奥古斯特大帝的事业不能与恺撒大帝的战绩相比?啊!多么幸福的英国人民!什么时候和平才让法国人民也像你们一样，全身心地投入到科学艺术之中去呢?

1、有一位表演大师上场前，他的弟子告诉他鞋带松了。大师点头致谢，蹲下来仔细系好。等到弟子转身后，又蹲下来将鞋带解松。有个旁观者不解地问：大师，您为什么又要将鞋带解松呢？大师回答道：因为我饰演的是一位劳累的旅行者，长途跋涉让他的鞋带松开了。那你为什么不直接告诉你的弟子呢？他能细心地发现我的鞋带松了，并且热心地告诉我，我一定要保护他这种热情的积极性，及时地给他鼓励。至于为什么要将鞋带解开，将来会有更多的机会教他表演，可以下一次再说啊。

（说明：人一个时间只能做一件事，懂抓重点，才是真正的人才。）

2、一个人去买鹦鹉，看到一只鹦鹉前标：此鹦鹉会两门语言，售价200元一只。另一只鹦鹉前标道：此鹦鹉会四门语言，售价400元。该买哪只呢？两只都毛色光鲜，非常灵活可爱。这人转啊转，拿不定主意。结果突然发现一只老掉了牙的鹦鹉，毛色暗淡散乱，标价800元。这人赶紧将老板叫来：这只鹦鹉是不是会说八门语言？店主说：不。这人奇怪了：那为什么又老又丑，又没有能力，会值这个数呢？店主回答：因为另外两只鹦鹉都叫这只鹦鹉老板。

（说明：真正的领导人，不一定自己能力有多强，只要懂信任，懂得放权，懂得珍惜，就能团结比自己更强的力量，从而提升自己的身价。相反许多能力非常强的人却因为过于完美主义，事必躬亲，什么人都不如自己，最后只能做最好的业务员，销售代表，成不了优秀的领导人。）

3、曾经有个人小国的人到中国来，进贡了三个一模一样的金人，把皇帝高兴坏了。可是这小国的人同时出了一个题目：这三个金人哪个最有价值？皇帝请来了珠宝匠检查，称重量，看做工，都是一模一样的。泱泱大国，不会被这点小问题难倒吧？最后，有位退休的老大臣说他有办法。皇帝将使者请到大殿，老臣拿着三根稻草，插入第一个金人的耳朵里，这稻草从另一个耳朵出来了。第二个金人的稻草从嘴里直接掉出来了，而第三个金人，稻草进去后掉进了肚子里，什么响动也没有了。老臣说：第三个金人最有价值！使者默默无语，答案正确。

（说明：最有价值的人，不一定上最能说的人，老天给我们两只耳朵一个嘴巴，本来就是让我们多听少说的。善于倾听，才是成熟的人最基本的素质。）

4、a对b说：我要离开这个公司。我恨这个公司！b建议道：我举双手赞成你报复！破公司一定要给他点颜色看看。不过你现在离开，还不是最好的时机。a问：为什么？b说：如果你现在走，公司的损失并不大，你应该趁着在公司的机会，拼命去为自己拉一些客户，成为公司独挡一面的人物，然后带着这些客户突然离开公司，公司才会受到重大损失，非常被动。a觉得b说的非常在理，于是努力工作，事遂所愿，半年多的努力后，他有了许多的忠诚客户。再见面时b问a：现在是时机恶劣，要跳赶快行动哦！a淡然笑道：老总跟我长谈过了，准备升我做总经理，我暂时没有离开的打算了。其实这也是b的初衷。

（说明：工作中，只有付出大于得到，让老板真正看到你的能力大于位置，才会给你更多机会）

5、有三个人要被关进监狱3年，监狱长满足他们每人一个要求，美国人爱抽雪茄，要了三箱雪茄，法国人最浪漫，要一个美丽的女子相伴，而犹太人说，他要一部与外界沟通的电话。3年后，第一个冲出来的是美国人，嘴里鼻孔里塞满了雪茄，大喊：给我火，给我火！原来他忘了要火。接着出来的是法国人，已经孩子成群。最后出来的是犹太人，他紧紧握住监狱长的手说：这3年来我每天与外界联系，我的生意不但没有停顿，反而增长了200%，为表感谢，我送你一辆劳斯来斯！

（说明：什么样的选择决定什么样的生活，今天的生活是由3年前我们的选择决定的，而今天我们的抉择将决定我们3年后的生活。我们要选择接触最新的信息，了解最新的趋势，从而更好地创造自己的将来。）

6、两个人在森林里遇到了一只大老虎，a就赶紧从背后取下一双运动鞋换上。b急死了，骂道：你干嘛呢，再换上鞋也跑不过老虎啊！a说：我只要跑得比你快就好了。

（说明：21世纪，没有危机感是最大的危机，电信，银行，甚至是公务员这些我们以为非常稳定和有保障的行业，也会面临许多的变数。当老虎来临时，我们有没有准备好自己的跑鞋？）

7、有个秀才第三次进京赶考，住在一个常住的店里，考试前两天他做了3个梦，第一个梦到自己在墙上种白菜，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脱光了衣服躺在一起，但是背靠着背。这3个梦似乎有些深意，秀才第二天找算命的解梦。算命的一听，连拍大腿说：你还是回家把。你想想，高墙上种白菜不是白费劲吗？戴斗笠还打雨伞不是多此一举吗？跟表妹都脱光了躺在一起，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。店主觉得奇怪，询问之下秀才道知原委，店老板一听乐了：我也会解梦啊，我倒觉得，你这次一定要留下，你想想，墙上种菜不是高种（中）吗？戴斗笠打伞不是说明你这次有备无患吗？跟你表妹脱光了背靠背躺在床上，说明你翻身的时候就要到了 。秀才一听，更有道理，于是精神振奋地参加了考试，居然中了个探花。

（说明：积极的人，象太阳，照到哪里那里亮；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。）

8、动物园里的小骆驼问妈妈：妈妈，为什么我们的睫毛那么长？骆驼妈妈说：长长的睫毛可以遮挡风沙，让我们在风暴中都能够看得到方向。小骆驼又问：为什么我们的背那么驼，丑死了！骆驼妈妈说：这个叫驼峰，可以储存大量的水和养分，让我们能在沙漠里耐受十几天的无水无食。小骆驼又问：为什么我们的脚掌那么厚？骆驼妈妈说：那可以让我们的身子不至于陷在沙子里，便于长途跋涉啊。小骆驼高兴坏了：哗，原来我们这么有用啊！可是妈妈，为什么我们还在动物园里，不去沙漠远足呢？

（说明：天生我才必有用，可惜现在没人用。一个好的心态+一本成功的教材+一个无限的舞台=成功。每人的潜能是无限的，关键是要找到一个能充分发挥潜能的舞台。）

9、有7个人住在一起，每天分一大桶粥，要命的是，粥每天都是不够的。一开始，他们抓阄决定谁来分粥，每天轮一个，于是乎每周下来，他们只有一天是饱的，就是自己分粥的那一天。后来他们推选出一个道德高尚的人分粥。强权就会产生，大家开始挖空心思去讨好他，贿赂他，搞的整个小团体乌烟瘴气。然后大家开始组成三人的分粥委员会及四人的评选委员会，但他们常常互相攻击，扯皮下来，粥吃到嘴里全是凉的。最后想出来一个方法：轮流分粥，但分粥的人要等其他人都挑完后剩下的最后一碗。为了不让自己吃到最少的，每人都尽量分的平均。此后大家快快乐乐，和和气气，日子越过越好了。

（说明：同样是7个人，不同的分配制度，就会有不同的风气。所以一个单位如果有不好的工作习气，一定是没有完全公平公正公开，没有严格的奖勤罚懒。如何制订这样一个制度，是每个领导需要考虑的问题。）

从前，有一位公主，她的名字叫“白雪公主”，因为她的皮肤像雪一样白，嘴唇像樱桃一样红。

一天，王后对魔镜说：“魔镜，魔镜，谁是世界上最美丽的女人？”魔镜回答说：“白雪公主是世界上最美丽的女人。”王后不高兴地说：“我要亲手杀死白雪公主。”王后又问魔镜：“魔镜，魔镜，白雪公主住在哪里？”魔镜回答：“白雪公主住在七个小矮人的家里面。”于是王后把一个苹果涂上毒，扮成一位老奶奶。早上，七个小矮人去外面工作了，老奶奶来到了七个小矮人的家外面说：“卖东西喽、卖东西喽。白雪公主伸出头到窗外去，问：“老奶奶卖什么好东西呢？”老奶奶说：“是一个又香又脆的大苹果呢！”白雪公主吃了一口苹果，马上倒地了，晚上，小矮人回到家里，说：“公主，你不能死啊！”最后，他们把白雪公主放进水晶棺里，一位白马王子来了，他吻了一下白雪公主，白雪公主醒来了，白马王子说：“你能嫁给我吗？”白雪公主说：“可以。”从此，公主和王子过上了美好的生活。

The Blacksmith And Dog

Those who will not work deserve to starve.

A Blacksmith had a little Dog, which used to sleep when his master was at work, but was very wide awake indeed when it was time for meals.

One day his master pretended to be disgusted at this, xiaogushi8.com and then he had thrown him a bone as usual, he said, “What on earth is the good of a lazy cur like you?”

When I am hammering away at my anvil, you just curl up and go to sleep: but no sooner do I stop for a mouthful of food than you wake up and wag your tail to be fed.

风声鹤唳

公元383年，前秦皇帝苻坚组织90万大军，南下攻打东晋。东晋王朝派谢石为大将，谢玄为先锋，带领8万精兵迎战。

苻坚认为自己兵多将广，有足够的把握战胜晋军。他把兵力集结在寿阳(今安徽寿县)东的淝水边，等后续大军到齐，再向晋军发动进攻。

为了以少胜多，谢玄施出计谋，派使者到秦营，向秦军的前锋建议道：“贵军在淝水边安营扎寨，显然是为了持久作战，而不是速战速决。如果贵军稍向后退，让我军渡过淝水决战，不是更好吗?”秦军内部讨论时，众将领都认为，坚守淝水，晋军不能过河。待后续大军抵达，即可彻底击溃晋军。因此不能接受晋军的建议。

但是，苻坚求胜心切，不同意众将领的意见，说：“我军只要稍稍后退，等晋军一半过河，一半还在渡河时，用精锐的骑兵冲杀上去，我军肯定能大获全胜!”

于是，秦军决定后退。苻坚没有料到，秦军是临时拼凑起来的，指挥不统一，一接到后退的命令，以为前方打了败仗，慌忙向后溃逃。谢玄见敌军渍退，指挥部下快速渡河杀敌。秦军在溃退途中，丢弃了兵器和盔甲，一片混乱，自相践踏而死的不计其数。那些侥幸逃脱晋军追击的士兵，一路上听到呼呼的风声和鹤的鸣叫声，都以为晋军又追来了，于是不顾白天黑夜，拼命地奔逃。就这样，晋军取得了“淝水之战”的重大胜利。

Suddenly, a beautiful forest of peach trees with flowers in full bloom caught his eyes. He carried on sailing to the end of the forest where he found a mountain with a small cave at its foot. After the fisherman walked through the cave, a new world opened up before him. The people seemed happy and gentle, and lived peaceful lives with no arguments or disputes. The old rested quietly while the young played happily. Unlike the world东晋年间，武陵有一个老渔夫。一天，他驾着渔船出去打鱼。船沿着溪水行驶，老渔夫不知怎么迷了路。忽然，一片美丽的桃花林出现在他眼前。渔夫觉得很奇怪，继续往前寻找桃花林的尽头。树林的尽头是一座山，山脚下有个小洞。渔夫穿过了山洞，竟然看到了另外一个世界。

Snow-white

Once there was a Queen. She was sitting at the window. There was snow outside in the garden-snow on the hill and in the lane, snow on the hunts and on the trees: all things were white with snow.

The Queen was making a coat for a little child. She said, "I want my child to be white as this cloth, white as the snow. And I shall call her Snow-white."

Some days after that the Queen had a child. The child was white as snow. The Queen called her Snow-white.

But the Queen was very ill, and after some days she died. Snow-white lived, and was a very happy and beautiful child.

One year after that, the King married another Queen. The new Queen was very beautiful; but she was not a good woman.

A wizard had given this Queen a glass. The glass could speak. It was on the wall in the Queens room. Every day the queen looked in the glass to see how beautiful she was. As she looked in the glass, she asked: "Tell me, glass upon the wall, who is most beautiful of all?" And the glass spoke and said: "The Queen is most beautiful of all."

Year went by. Snow-white grew up and became a little girl. every day the Queen looked in the glass and said, "Tell me, glass upon the wall, who is most beautiful of all?" And the glass said, "Snow-white is most beautiful of all."

When the Queen heard this, she was very angry. She said, "Snow-white is not more beautiful than I am. There is no one who is more beautiful than I am."

Then the Queen sat on her bed and cried.

After one hour the Queen went out of her room. She called one of the servants, and said, "Take Snow-white into the forest and kill her."

The servant took Snow-white to the forest, but he did not kill her, because she was so beautiful and so good. He said, "I shall not kill you; but do not go to the Kings house, because the Queen is angry and she will see you. If the Queen sees you, she will make some other man kill you. Wait here in the forest; some friends will help you." Then he went away.

Poor Snow-white sat at the foot of a tree and cried. Then she saw that night was coming. She said, "I will not cry. I will find some house where I can sleep tonight. I cannot wait here: the bears will eat me."

She went far into the forest. Then she saw a little hut. She opened the door of the hut, and went in. In the hut she saw seven little beds. There was a table, and on the table there were seven little loaves and seven little glasses. She ate one of the loaves. Then she said, "I want some water to drink." So she drank some water out of one of the glasses. Then she fell asleep on one of the seven little beds.

The hut was the home of seven Little Men. When it was night, the seven Little Men came to the hut. Each Little Man had a big beard, and a little blue coat. Each Little Man came into the hut, and took his little lamp. Then each Little Man sat down, and ate his little loaf, and drank his little glass of water.

But one Little Man said, "Someone has eaten my little loaf." And another Little Man said, "Someone has drunk my little glass of water." Then the seven Little Men went to bed, but one Little Man said, "Someone is sleeping on my little bed." All the seven Little Men came to look at Snow-white as she slept on the Little Mens bed. They said, "She is very beautiful."

Snow-white awoke, and saw the seven Little Men with their big beards standing near her bed. She was afraid. The Little men said, "Do not be afraid. We are your friends. Tell us how you came here." Snow-white said, "I will tell you." Then she told them her story.

They said, "Do not be afraid. Live here with us. But see that the door shut when we are not in the house with you. Do not go out. If you go out, the bad Queen will find you. Then she will know that you are not dead, and will tell someone to kill you." So Snow-white lived in the hut with the seven Little Men.

After some days Snow-white went into the garden. One of the Queens servants was going through the forest, and he saw her. He went and told the Queen, "Snow-white is in a hut in the forest." The Queen was very angry when she heard that Snow-white was not dead.

The Queen took an apple. She made a hole in the red side of the apple, and put some powder into the hole. Then she put on old clothes and went to the hut. She called, "Is any one there?" Snow-white opened the door, and came out to her. The Queen said, "I have some pretty apples. Eat one of my pretty apples." Snow-white took the apple and said, "Is it good?" The Queen said, "See, I will eat this white side of the apple; you eat the red side. Then you will know that it is good."

Snow-white ate the red side of the apple. When the powder was in her mouth, she fell down dead. The Queen went back to her house. She went into her room. she looked into the glass and said, "Tell me, glass upon the wall, who is most beautiful of all?" The glass said, "The Queen is most beautiful of all." Then the Queen know that Snow-white was dead.

The Little Men came back to the hut. When they saw that Snow-white was dead, the poor Little Men cried. Then they put Snow-white in a box made of glass. They took the glass box to a hill and put it there, and said, "Everyone who goes by will see how beautiful she was." Then each Little Man put one white flower on the box, and they went away.

Just as they were going away, a Prince came by. He saw the glass box and said, "What is that?" Then he saw Snow-white in the box. He said, "She was very beautiful: but do not put her there. There is a hall in the garden of my fathers house. It is all made of white stone. We will take the glass box and put it in the hall of beautiful white stone."

The Little Men said, "Take her." Then the Prince told his servants to take up the box. They took up the box. Just then one of the servants fell down. The box fell, and Snow-white fell with the box. The bit of apple fell out of her mouth: she awoke, and sat up, and said, "Where am I?"

The Prince said, "You are with me. I never saw anyone as beautiful as you. Come with me and be my Queen."

The Prince married Snow-white, and she became his Queen.

A man went and told this to the bad Queen. When she heard it she was so angry that she fell down dead.

Snow-white lived and was very happy ever after. And the Little Men came to see her every year.

白雪公主

从前，有一个王后，她坐在窗户旁。窗外的花园里积满了雪，山上是雪，小路上是雪，树上和屋顶上也积着雪，万物一片白茫茫。她手中拿着些布和一枚针，她手中的不就像雪一样洁白。王后正在为小孩做一件上衣，她说：“我想我的孩子能够像这布一样白，想雪一样白，我要叫她白雪公主。”

几天之后，王后生了个小孩，这个孩子白得像雪一样，王后给她取名为“白雪公主”。但是，王后得了重病，几天以后就去世了。白雪公主活了下来，她是一个十分幸福和美丽的孩子。

王后去世一年以后，国王又娶了一位王后。新王后十分漂亮，但是，她不是一个善良的女人。一个巫师给了新王后一面镜子，这面镜子会说话，它挂在王后房间的墙上，每天王后照着镜子，欣赏自己多么漂亮。当她照镜子的时候，她问：“告诉我，墙上的魔镜，谁是世界上最漂亮的人？”于是魔镜开口说道：“王后是世界上最漂亮的。”

过了数年，白雪公主长成大人了。当白雪公主是一个年轻姑娘时，有一天，王后照着镜子说：“告诉我，墙上的魔镜，谁是世界上最漂亮的？”魔镜说：“白雪公主是世界上最漂亮的。”

当王后听到这些话时，非常恼怒，她说：“白雪公主没有我漂亮，没有一个人比我更漂亮。”然后，王后坐在床上哭了。一小时后，王后从她的房间走出来，她叫来一个仆人说：“把白雪公主带到森林中杀掉。”

仆人带着白雪公主到了森林，但他没有杀死她，因为她太美丽太善良了。他说：“我不会杀死你的，但是，你不能回王宫，因为，王后很生气，她会看到你的。如果王后发现你，她会让别人杀死你的。你就呆在森林里，会有朋友来帮助你的。”然后，他走了。

可怜的白雪公主坐在一棵树底下哭了，这时，她看到天快黑了，她说：“我不哭了，我要找所房子今晚好睡觉，我不能呆在这儿了，熊会吃了我的。”她往森林深处走去，这时，她发现了一座小屋，她打开小屋的门，走了进去。在小屋里，她看到七张小床，还有一张桌子，桌子上有七块小面包和七个小杯子。她吃了其中一块面包，然后说：“我想喝点水。”于是，她又喝了一个杯子中的一些水。之后，她躺在一张小床上睡着了。

这座小屋是七个小矮人的家。当天黑下来的时候，七个小矮人回到小屋。每个小矮人都留着一副大胡子，穿一件小蓝上衣。小矮人进了小屋，每个人都点上他们的小灯，然后，小矮人都坐下，开始吃面包，喝小杯里的水。

但是，一个小矮人说：“有人把我小面包吃了。”另一个小矮人说：“有人把我的小杯子里的水喝了。”然后，七个小矮人去睡觉。可是一个小矮人说：“有人正睡在我的小床上。”七个小矮人都过来看睡在小矮人床上的白雪公主。他们说：“她真漂亮。”

白雪公主醒了，发现七个留着大胡子的小矮人正站在她床旁，她很害怕。小矮人们说：“别害怕，我们是你的好朋友，告诉我们你是怎么来这儿的。”白雪公主说：“我告诉你们。”接着她就给他们讲述了自己的经历。他们说：“不要害怕。就在这儿和我们住在一起，但是，我们不在家的时候，你一定要关上门，千万别出去。如果你出去了，坏王后会发现你，这样，她知道你没有死，会让人来杀死你。”于是，白雪公主和七个小矮人在这座小屋里生活着。

几天以后，白雪公主去了一趟花园。王后的一个仆人正经过这片森林，他发现了阿。他回去告诉了王后：“白雪公主在森林的一座小屋里。”王后听说白雪公主没有死，十分恼火。

王后拿来一个苹果，她在苹果红的一边挖了一个洞，把一些毒的粉末放在这个洞里。然后，她穿上一身旧衣服，去了小屋。她喊：“屋里有人吗？”白雪公主打开门，出来见她。王后说：“我有一些漂亮的苹果，吃一个尝尝吧？”白雪公主拿着苹果说：“这好吃吗？”王后说：“瞧，我吃苹果白的一半，你吃红的一半，你会知道它味道不错。”白雪公主吃了苹果红的一半，当粉末进入她嘴里时，她倒下去死了。

王后回到家，进了自己的房间，对着镜子说：“告诉我，墙上的魔镜，谁是世界上最漂亮的。”魔镜说：“王后是世界上最漂亮的。”于是，王后知道白雪公主已经死了。

小矮人们回到小屋，发现白雪公主死了。可怜的小矮人们全都哭了。然后，他们把白雪公主放进玻璃棺材里，并把它抬到山坡上，安放在那里，说：“每位经过这里的人都会看见她是多么美丽。”接着每个小矮人在棺材上放了一朵白花，然后离开了。

他们刚刚要离开，一位王子从此经过，他看着玻璃棺材说：“那是什么？”这时，他发现白雪公主躺在里面，他说：“她太美丽了，把能把她放在这里，在父亲的王宫里有一座大厅，整个大厅都是用白石头砌成，我们把玻璃棺材搬到那所漂亮的白石大厅里。”小矮人们说：“抬走她吧。”

然后，王子告诉他的仆人抬起棺材。他们抬起它时，不巧一个仆人跌倒了。把棺材也摔到地上，白雪公主随同棺材跌了下来，那块苹果从她嘴里掉了出来，她醒了过来，坐起来说：“我这是在哪儿？”王子说：“你跟我在一起，我从来没有见过一位像你这么美丽的人，跟我来，做我的王后吧。”王子和白雪公主结婚了，她成了王后。

一个人去把这些消息告诉了坏王后，当她听到这些，气得倒下死去了。从那以后，白雪公主一直生活得很幸福。每年小矮人们都来看她。

英语寓言小故事：The Wolf and the Lamba

Wolf, meeting with a Lamb astray from the fold, resolved not to lay violent hands on him, but to find some plea, which should justify to the Lamb himself his right to eat him. He thus addressed him:"Sirrah, last year you grossly insulted me." "Indeed," bleated the Lamb in a mournful tone of voice, "I was not then born." Then said the Wolf, "You feed in my pasture."

"No, good sir," replied the Lamb, "I have not yet tasted grass." Again said the Wolf, "You drink of my well." "No," exclaimed the Lamb, "I never yet drank water, for as yet my mother′s milk is both food and drink to me." On which the Wolf seized him, and ate him up, saying, "Well! I won′t remain supperless, even though you refute every one of my imputations."The tyrant will always find a pretext for his tyranny.

狼和小羊

一只狼瞧见一只迷路失群的小羊，决定暂缓下毒手，想先找一些理由，对小羊证明自己有吃它的权利。它就说：「小鬼!你去年曾经骂过我。」小羊可怜地说：「老实说，我去年还没有出生呢。」狼再说：「你在我的草地上吃过草。」

小羊回答说：「不，好先生，我还未曾尝过草的味道呢。」狼又说：「你喝过我井里的水。」小羊叫道：「不，我从没有喝过水，因为直到今天为止，我都是吃着母亲的奶汁。」狼一听这话，便抓住它，把它吃下去，便说：「好!即使你驳倒我每一句话，我终究要吃晚餐的!」暴君总有他暴行的借口。

《白雪公主》上篇写到，白雪王后因为嫉妒白雪公主的美貌，想要毒死白雪公主，可最后没成功，被国王关了起来……

王后在监狱里更加憎恨白雪公主了，她用身上所剩的钱财买通了侍卫，让侍卫帮助她逃出去。侍卫随便抓了一个侍女，在监狱杀死她后帮助王后逃出去，对外宣称王后自杀了。

王后计划着去白马国复仇，她带着所剩的钱往白马国行去。在去的过程中，王后的生活越来越困窘，对白雪公主的憎恨也一天一天加深了……到了白马国，为了不让白雪公主认出，她买了一张人皮面具，戴上后变成了一个容貌平凡的女子。正好白雪公主正在招募侍女，王后经过层层选拔后终于成为了白雪公主的侍女。侍女要做许多又苦又累的活儿，但白雪公主尽量减轻他们的工作量，让他们轻松，虽然如此，但王后对公主的仇恨并没有减轻。王后每当在别人去吃饭时在白雪公主的饮食里面下毒，这种毒无色无味，而且只有到病入膏肓的时候才会开始出现中毒的现象。

有一天，王后像往常一样在公主的饮食里下毒，却不料被一个侍卫给看到了，侍卫把这事告诉了白马王子，王子让侍卫把王后带到跟前亲自审问。王子说：”你在公主的饮食里干了什么？”“哼！当然是下毒了！”“你和公主无冤无仇，为什么要这样？”王子忽然看着王后的脸有点不对劲，撕下了王后的人皮面具，公主和王子都惊叫出声：“白雪王后？！”“哼，我在她的饮食里下了毒药！”白雪王后不屑地说。“解药呢？”王子看王后沉默了，就把她关了起来。

白马王子寻遍天下名医，终于把白雪公主的毒解了。白马王子要杀了白雪王后，善良的白雪公主请求他不要杀王后，只要把她送回国就好，王子同意了。

白雪王后回国后，非常感谢公主，面对自己的行为感到了羞愧不已，想要补偿公主，便乞求国王让她去照顾白雪公主，白雪国王看她真诚的样子也就同意了。白雪王后在公主身边尽心尽力，而公主也对王后很好，在王后年老的时候，安排了一座大宅子给王后住……

白雪公主和王子，又幸福地生活在一起了……

Highly Talented

Tsau Pi and Tsau Jr were sons of Tsau Tsau. Both were very gifted writers, and Tsau Jr was especially quick-witted.

After Tsau Tsaus death, Tsau Pi took over the throne of the kingdom of wei. Jealous of Tsau Jrs literary ability, and afraid that he might cause problems, Tsau Pi was always looking for a way to kill his brother.

One day, Tsau Pi called Tsau Jr into see him.He ordered his brother to make up a poem within the time it took to walk seven steps, adding that if he could not, his life would be in danger.

Greatly saddened, Tsau Jr began to walk and to think. Before he had taken the seven steps, he had already finished his poem, the meaning of which was: "Brothers are of the same family, so why should the oppress each other?"

Tsau Jr was very intelligent and loved to study. He wrote many outstanding articles which showed his artistic talent and earned him the admiration of many people. One scholar said of him: "Heaven gave the world ten decalitres of talent, and Tsau Jr alone has eight of them."

Today, to say that a person "has eight decalitres of talent" is to say that he has a great aptitude for writing.

才高八斗

曹丕与曹植都是曹操的儿子，二者均有才华，特别是曹植更具文采。

在曹操，死后，曹丕继任大统，但他嫉妒曹植的才华，同时也惧怕曹植回谋反，所以一直在伺机杀害曹植。

有一天，曹丕要求接见曹植，他要求曹植在他七步之内作诗一首，如果做不到，就会有生命危险。

悲愤之下，曹植急中生智，作出七步诗，是的意思就是“本来就是亲兄弟，为什么要这样步步紧逼，伤及感情？”

曹植文采俱佳，热爱学习，他曾做过不少才华横溢的文赋，均令世人感叹不已。曾有一位学者说道：“如若天下文采共有十斗，曹植一人独占八斗。”

今天，如果我们说一个人“才高八斗”，就是指他“才华横溢，很有文采”。

Children in costumes race from house to house asking for treats. A carved pumpkin, called a jack-o’-lantern, grins from a porch as the children pass. According to legend, jack-o’-lanterns protect people in their homes from ghostly spirits.

It’s all part of the fun on Halloween! The roots of Halloween stretch back thousands of years and borrow customs from several parts of the world.

Halloween is a holiday celebrated on October 31. By tradition, Halloween begins after sunset. Long ago, people believed that witches gathered together and ghosts roamed the world on Halloween. Today, most people no longer believe in ghosts and witches. But these supernatural beings are still a part of Halloween.

The colors black and orange are also a part of Halloween. Black is a symbol for night and orange is the color of pumpkins. A jack-o’-lantern is a hollowed-out pumpkin with a face carved on one side. Candles are usually placed inside, giving the face a spooky glow.

Dressing in masks and costumes is a popular Halloween activity. Costumes can be traditional and scary, such as a witch’s pointy hat and black gown. Costumes may also have a modern flavor. Many children dress up as movie characters or a favorite superhero.

But Halloween is not just for children. Many adults enjoy showing off their costumes at Halloween parties!

Once in costume, children go from house to house saying “Trick or treat!” In the past, children might play a “trick” on people who did not give treats. They might pelt houses with eggs or old tomatoes, or play other pranks. Today, children’s cries of “Trick or treat!” are usually rewarded with candy.

One of the oldest Halloween traditions comes from the ancient Celts, who lived in western and central Europe long ago. The Celts celebrated a holiday

y called Sa amhain on October 31. After sunset that day, people believed that spirits of the dead would rise and walk the earth. The Celts made offerings of food and drink to keep the spirits away.

Beginning about 2,000 years ago, the Roman Empire conquered many Celtic peoples. But Celtic traditions, including Samhain, remained strong in areas such as Ireland and Scotland, even after the Roman conquest.

The Roman Catholic Church tried to replace Samhain in 835 with All Saints’ Day, a day to honor saints of the Church. The eve of All Saints’ Day is October 31. It is called Allhallows or Hallowmas by the Church.

Halloween first came to America with early settlers from Celtic areas in Europe, such as Ireland and Scotland. But other American settlers with strict religious beliefs, including the Puritans from England, rejected Halloween. The arrival of many Irish immigrants during the 1800s helped spread Halloween’s popularity.

But by the late 1800s, fewer people believed in ancient superstitions of ghosts and witches. Halloween became more a holiday for children to receive treats and dress in costume.

儿童服装竞赛挨家挨户要求对待。,南瓜,称为的南瓜灯笑容从玄关,孩子们通过。根据传说,南瓜灯保护人们从可怕的精神家园。

这是所有的一部分乐趣在万圣节!万圣节的根源可以追溯到数千年,借世界海关从几个地方。

万圣节是一个10月31日庆祝的节日。按照传统,万圣节在日落之后开始。很久以前,人们相信女巫聚集和万圣节鬼在世界。今天,大多数人不再相信幽灵和巫婆。但这些超自然仍然是一个万圣节的一部分。

颜色黑色和橙色也是万圣节的一部分。黑色象征着晚上和橙色是南瓜的颜色。鬼火是一个中空的南瓜脸雕刻的一侧。蜡烛通常放在,面临着一个令人毛骨悚然的发光。

穿着面具和服装是一个流行的万圣节活动。服装是传统和可怕的,比如一个女巫的尖尖的帽子和黑色的礼服。服装也有现代气息。许多孩子装扮成电影人物或最喜欢的超级英雄。

但是万圣节不仅仅是为了孩子。许多成年人喜欢炫耀他们的服装在万圣节派对!

一次服装,孩子们挨家挨户说“不给糖就捣蛋!“在过去,孩子们可能会扮演一个“技巧”没有给对的人。他们可能与鸡蛋或毛皮房子旧西红柿,或玩其他的恶作剧。今天,孩子们的叫喊起来,“不给糖就捣蛋!“通常得到糖果。

最古老的万圣节传统之一来自于古老的凯尔特人,很久以前住在欧洲西部和中部。凯尔特人庆祝一个节日

y称为Sa amhain 10月31日。日落之后那一天,人们相信死者的灵魂会上升,地球走。凯尔特人的食品和饮料保持精神献祭。

大约在2000年前开始,罗马帝国征服了许多凯尔特民族。但凯尔特传统,包括夏末节,保持强劲的地区如爱尔兰和苏格兰,即使在罗马征服。

罗马天主教会试图取代835年夏末节所有圣徒的日子,纪念圣徒教会的一天。万圣节前夕是10月31日。它被称为万圣节或万圣节的教堂。

万圣节从凯尔特地区第一次来到美国早期定居者在欧洲,比如爱尔兰和苏格兰。但其他美国定居者与严格的宗教信仰,包括从英国来的清教徒,拒绝了万圣节。许多爱尔兰移民的到来在1800年代帮助传播万圣节的声望。

但到1800年代末,更少的人相信幽灵和巫婆古老的迷信。万圣节变得更加的节日孩子接受治疗和穿着服饰。

有一个小镇，总共只有一条街。一条街，两排房，街心一条线，将小镇一分为二，人们习惯地称南边的叫南街，北边的叫北街。

如果你碰巧来到小镇，走上街头，看到街上奇特的景观，你一定会大惑不解。你看：北街许多人正穿着棉衣棉裤，眯着眼睛，晒太阳;南街许多人却一个个汗衫短裤，抹着汗水，摇蒲扇。

北街人骂：“这鬼天气，滴水成冰呢!”

南街人也骂：“这鬼天气，热得死人呢!”

北街人围在火炉边吃热火锅，“哈滋哈滋”，吃得头上冒汗。

南街人围在圆桌边吃冰西瓜，“阿呜阿呜”，吃得津津有味。

南街人眼巴巴看着北街人吃火锅，心里很羡慕，吸啦着口水，想：“热火锅，热火锅，吃起来真带劲啊!”

北街人眼巴巴看着南街人吃西瓜，心里也很羡慕，滴答着口水，说：“冰西瓜，冰西瓜，吃起来多过瘾啊!”

原来，这是一条泾渭分明、对比强烈的界街，以中线为界，北街人过的是隆冬，南街人过的是盛夏。

一条街道，两个季节，在这儿竟得到奇妙与和谐的统一。

如果你不相信，请沿着街心那条线，由东向西走过去，你的左半个身子热乎乎的，右半个身子冷冰冰的。走完全程折回来，由西向东走，哈，热乎乎的左半个身子变得冷冰冰了，冷冰冰的右半个身子变得热乎乎了。

北街人常常瞧不起南街人。夏天有什么好?穿那么一点点衣服，露胳膊露腿的。尤其[欣赏雨季爱情故事网]女孩，鞋底越来越高，衣服越穿越少，像什么样子?也不嫌燥得慌。蚊子、苍蝇、臭虫全出来了，嘤嘤嘤，嗡嗡嗡，吵得人睡不好觉。不干活也一身臭汗。用空调，多费电哪!

南街人总也瞧不起北街人。冬天有什么好?那么厚的衣服，又笨重又难看，早上穿，晚上脱，不嫌累得慌呀!脸上、手上、脚上，全生出冻疮来了，又肿又痒，太不值得啦。晚上起来小便，哆哆嗦嗦，哪愿钻出热被窝呵!生火盆，哼，小心二氧化碳中毒!

听见南街那边蝉儿叫，北街的孩子常常愣了神。蝉儿叫得多欢呀!你看南街的孩子，用竹竿系上丝网，成群结队地到树林里捕蝉，玩得真开心呀!孩子们屏住气，小心翼翼不出声，轻轻悄悄将网儿凑过去，猛地一按，哈，逮住了，是个“响儿”。用火柴盒儿装起来，做成一个BP机。小三儿，有事你呼我。玩累了，出汗了，一个个下饺子似地跳进后街的小河里，“卟嗵卟嗵”，泥鳅般钻上钻下，鸭子似的游过来，游过去，直到眼睛像兔子似的发红，身子像缎子似的发亮，直到夕阳坠入山谷，街上升起袅袅炊烟，妈妈在岸边喊破了嗓子，这才恋恋不舍地告别小河走回家去。

看见北街这边下雪儿，南街的孩子常常傻了眼。雪儿下得可真大呀!你看北街的孩子，在雪地里滚雪球、堆雪人、打雪仗，欢乐的笑声，震得街檐上的冰溜儿直晃悠，道旁树上的积雪，“簌簌”地往下掉。那个大头雪人真好玩，黑煤球做眼睛，胡萝卜做鼻子，大嘴巴一下扯到两边耳根旁，嘻嘻!

玩够了，笑够了，他们穿上溜冰鞋，一溜飞驰，来到后街的小河(其实是一条河，绕镇一周的环城河)溜冰。河里早已结上厚厚的冰。南街的孩子们，你牵着我的手，我扶着你的肩，三个一群，五个一阵，像燕子似的绕来绕去，像风筝似的飘来飘去。他们还玩出了层出不穷的新花样，金鸡独立呀，大鹏展翅呀，旋转360度呀，孩子们玩儿得一个个忘了自己姓什名谁啦!

当然，更多的时候，南街人和北街人互相帮忙，友好相处。

南街人几乎不必用冰箱，饭菜怕馊，新鲜水果怕变味，只需往对街一丢，“小柱子，帮我冰镇冰镇，远亲不如近邻嘛。”

下雪天北街人洗了衣被呵小孩尿片呵，担心晒不干，南街马上有人招呼：“甜甜妈，拿来我帮你晒，近邻不如对门呢!”

北街的孩子有时也送一个热乎乎的烤红薯，给南街的孩子吃;

送两个雪娃娃，给南街的孩子玩;还邀请南街的孩子过来，打雪仗，溜冰。

南街的孩子有时也送一杯凉丝丝的冰淇淋，给北街的孩子吃;

送两只叫知了，给北街的孩子玩;还邀请北街的孩子过来，捕蝉儿，游泳。

南街人晚上热得睡不着，索性跑到北街来“乘凉儿”，啊啊，真凉快呀，简直凉透了心窝窝!北街人晚上冷得睡不暖，干脆跑到南街来“挤暖儿”，天啊，真舒服呀，简直暖得透不过气!凉够了，暖够了，后半夜，他们又各归其室，一觉睡到大天亮。

帮忙归帮忙，南街人还是说过夏天好，北街人还是说过冬天好。

春夏秋冬，季节转换，瞧，南街这边是冬天，北街这边是夏天啦!直到这时，南街人才会说：“哈，冬天多好呵!冬天可以穿皮袄，喝烧酒，吃火锅!”北街人也马上改了口：“哈，夏天才美呢，夏天可以打赤膊，喝冰茶，吃西瓜!”
