农夫和驴子
One day a farmer's donkey fell into an abandoned well. The animal cried piteously(可怜地)for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do. Finally, he decided the animal was too old and the well needed to be covered up anyway; so it just wasn't worth it to him to try to retrieve the donkey.
He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him. They each grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well. Realizing what was happening, the donkey at first cried and wailed horribly.
Then, a few shovel-fulls later, he quieted down completely. The farmer peered down into the well, and was astounded by what he saw. With every shovel-full of dirt that hit his back, the donkey would shake it off and take a step up on the new layer of dirt.
As the farmer's neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and take a step up. Pretty soon, the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well andtrotted off, to the shock and astonishment of everyone.
Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick to getting out of the well is to stop wailing, and not let the dirt bury you, but to shake it off and take a step up. Each one of our troubles is a stepping-stone. We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping, never giving up! Shake it off and take a step up.
关于农夫和驴的英语故事版本2There once was a farmer who wanted to buy a donkey.
He wanted a hardworking one that could help him on his farm.
He went to a market and saw one that looked perfect.
“May I try out his donkey for a day or two?” asked the farmer.
“If he is hardworking, I will pay you a good price.”
“Of course you may,” said the seller. “I’m sure that he will please you.” The farmer thanked the seller and took the donkey back to his farm.
When they arrived, the new donkey joined the other animals on the farm.
He placed himself beside the fattest, laziest donkeys there.
The farmer shook his head and took him back to the seller.
“Show me another donkey,” said the farmer. “I don’t want this one.”
He told the seller about what the donkey had done.
“I don’t understand,” said the seller. “What’s wrong with standing beside lazy donkeys?”
“Well,” said the farmer, “you can understand a lot about someone if you look at the friends he chooses.”
关于农夫和驴的英语故事版本3An old Peasant was sitting in a meadow watching his Ass, which was grazing close by, when all of a sudden he caught sight of armed men stealthily approaching. He jumped up in a moment, and begged the Ass to fly with him as fast as he could, “Or else,” said he, “we shall both be captured by the enemy.” But the Ass just looked round lazily and said, “And if so, do you think they’ll make me carry heavier loads than I have to now?” “No,” said his master. “Oh well, then, ” said the Ass, “I don’t mind if they do take me, for I shan’t be any worse off.”
一位老农民坐在草地上看驴，驴被紧紧盯着。突然农民看到全副武装的人们走近，便立刻跳了起来，恳求驴子跟他一起尽快飞走。“否则”他说，“我们便会被敌人逮住。”驴只是懒懒的看了看，便说：“如果这样的话，你不认为他们会让我驮更重的东西?”“不，”主人说。“哦，那么，”驴子说，“我不介意他们把我抓走，我再也不会比现在更糟。”
