狐狸和葡萄的英语故事,有哪些?
The Fox and the Grapes
One hot summer's day a Fox was strolling through an orchard
till he came to a bunch of Grapes just ripening on a vine which
had been trained over a lofty branch.
"Just the thing to quench
my thirst," quoth he.
Drawing back a few paces, he took a run and
a jump, and just missed the bunch.
Turning round again with a
One, Two, Three, he jumped up, but with no greater success.
The Fox and the Goat
By an unlucky chance a Fox fell into a deep well from which he
could not get out.
A Goat passed by shortly afterwards, and asked
the Fox what he was doing down there.
"Oh, have you not heard?"
said the Fox; "there is going to be a great drought, so I jumped
down here in order to be sure to have water by me.
Why don't you
come down too?"
The Goat thought well of this advice, and jumped
down into the well.
But the Fox immediately jumped on her back,
and by putting his foot on her long horns managed to jump up to
the edge of the well.
"Good-bye, friend," said the Fox, "remember
next time,
"Never trust the advice of a man in difficulties."
Again
and again he tried after the tempting morsel, but at last had to
give it up, and walked away with his nose in the air, saying: "I
am sure they are sour."
It is easy to despise what you cannot get.
