1.小學英語課前三分鐘小故事 篇一
A man once bought a brilliantly-coloured parrot. Instead of locking it up in a cage or chaining it to a perch, he allowed it to fly free all over the house. The parrot was delighted at this and flapped from room to room, shrieking and screaming with happiness. At last he settled on the edge of a rich curtain.
"Who on earth are you ?" said a cross voice from below. "Stop that terrible noise at once."
The parrot saw a cat staring up at him from the carpet.
"I 'm a parrot. I 've just arrived and I 'm to make as much noise as I can," he said.
"Well, I 've lived here all my life," replied the cat ."I was born in this very house and I learned from my mother that it is best to keep quiet here."
"Keep quiet then, "said the parrot cheerfully. "I don't know what you do around here, but I know my job. My master bought me for my voice and I'm going to make sure he hears it."
Different people are valued for different things.
鸚鵡和貓
從前，有人買了一只毛色鮮艷的鸚鵡。他沒有把鸚鵡關(guān)在籠子里，也沒有用鏈條把他拴在棲木上，而讓他在家里自由自在地飛來飛去。鸚鵡對此十分高興，撲動翅膀，從一間屋子飛到另一間屋子，愉快地尖聲叫著，終停在華麗的帷幔的邊上。
"你到底是誰？"從下頭傳來怒氣沖沖的說話聲，"立刻住嘴，別發(fā)出那難聽的聲音。"
鸚鵡看見地毯上有一只貓?zhí)ь^看著他。
"我是鸚鵡。我剛到，我要使勁地吵吵。"他說。 "那你就一聲不響吧，"鸚鵡歡快地說，"我不明白你在這兒干什么，可我明白我的活兒。主人為了我的聲音才買我，我必須得讓他聽到。"
不一樣的人因有不一樣的特點而受重視。

A wild ass1 saw a pack-ass jogging along under a heavy load, and taunted2 him with the condition of slavery in which he lived, in these words: "What a vile3 lot is yours compared with mine! I am free as the air, and never do a stoke of work; and, as for fodder4, I have only to go to the hills and there I find far more than enough for my needs. But you! You depend on your master for food, and he makes you carry heavy loads every day and beats you unmercifully." At that moment a lion appeared on the scene, and made no attempt to molest5 the pack-ass owing to the presence of the driver, but he fell upon the wild ass, who had no one to protect him, and without more ado made a meal of him.
It is no use being your own master unless you can stand up for yourself.
一頭野驢看到一頭家驢背負這沉重的貨物一路小跑，便譏諷他過著奴隸般的生活：“和我相比，你過得多么卑微呀!我自由自在地享受著大自然，從不下苦力，說道食物，我只需要跑到山上去，就能發(fā)現(xiàn)大量吃的東西。再看看你!只能依靠主人施舍吃點，他不僅每天都讓你馱重物，還無情地鞭打你。”這時，一只獅子出現(xiàn)在他們的視野中，由于驢夫的出現(xiàn)，獅子沒有騷擾家驢，直接撲向了沒有保護者的野驢，立即吃掉了野驢。
除非能照顧好自己，否則做自己的主人一點用也沒有。

There was a sturdy ram with a pair of thick horns upright on its head.
It strutted about proudly and saw a fence built with bamboo and wood in front, which blocked its way. It cast a sidelong glance at the fence, lowered its neck and lunged at the fence, hoping to knock it down. The fence remained intact but the ram injured its own horns.
If it had not injured its horns, the ram would have persisted obstinately in butting against the fence, even against the spokes of a wheel until it bled with a fractured skull.
As a result, with its horns caught in the fence, the ram could neither advance nor retreat butbleat helplessly.
一頭長得非常雄壯的公羊的頭上，挺立著一對粗大的犄角。
公羊驕傲地踱著步，看見前面有一道竹木編成的籬笆擋住了它的去路。公羊斜著眼睛看看，便彎下脖子呼的一聲撞上去，想把籬笆撞倒。結(jié)果籬笆紋絲不動，它反把自己的犄角碰傷了。
假如公羊沒有碰傷犄角的話，那么它還會一個勁兒地撞下去，甚至向車輪的輻條上撞去，直到頭破血流為止。
結(jié)果呢?公羊的犄角被籬笆夾住，進也不得，退也不得，只能“咩咩”不停地叫喚。

Long ago a great mountain began to rumble and shake.
People came from far and near to see what would happen.
"A great river will be born." said one.
"Surely nothing less than a mighty dragon will e out." said another.
"A god himself will spring form these rocks." said a third.
Finally,after days of expectation a small crack appeared in the mountain. And out popped-a mouse.
Just because someone makes a lot of fuss， it doesn't mean he is important.

另一個人說："準會出現(xiàn)一條巨龍。"
第三個人說："從這些巖石中會出現(xiàn)一尊神來。"
等了幾天之后，山坡上終裂開一條小縫，卻蹦出來一只耗子。
正因為某人大肆張揚，所以他沒有什么了不起。
