When a sheep passed by, he asked him to fetch some water from the stream. "If you bring me the water," he said, "I will find means to get some food." "Yes," said the sheep, "if I bring you the water, you would undoubtedly make me your food." 狼和羊 ●狼被狗所咬，傷勢很嚴重，痛苦地躺在巢穴里，不能外出覓食。
●他感到又餓又渴，這時，他看見一只羊，便請求他到附近的小河里為他取一點水來。 ●“你給我一點水解渴”，他說，“我就能自己去尋找食物了?！?/p>

第二篇： 狐貍和葡萄 One hot summer day a fox was walking through an orchard. He stopped before a bunch of grapes. They were ripe and juicy. "I'm just feeling thirsty," he thought. So he backed up a few paces, got a running start, jumped up, but could not reach the grapes. He walked back. One, two, three, he jumped up again, but still, he missed the grapes. The fox tried again and again, but never succeeded. At last he decided to give it up.

He tried again and again, but still could not touch the water. When he was about to give up, an idea came to him. He took a pebble and dropped it into the pitcher.

●而另一只較明智，它說：“別著急，朋友，如果這口井也干了的話，我們怎么出來呢？” 寓意： 凡事應該首先考慮周到，然后再付諸行動。 第五篇： The cage bird and the bat A bird was confined in a cage outside a window. She often sang at night when all other birds were asleep. One night a bat came. He asked the bird why she was silent by day and sang only at night. The bird answered, “Last year when I was singing in the daytime, a bird catcher heard my voice and caught me in his net.Since then I have never sung by day.” The bat replied, "But it is useless to do this now that you have become a prisoner." Then he flew away. 金絲雀與蝙蝠 ●掛在窗口籠里的金絲雀，經(jīng)常在鳥兒睡著的夜里歌唱。
●一天晚上，蝙蝠來了，飛過來問她為什么白天安靜無聲，夜里卻要歌唱。 ●金絲雀回答說：“去年我在白天唱歌時，捕鳥人聽到我的歌聲抓住了我。
從此，我再也不在白天唱歌了?！?●蝙蝠說：“你現(xiàn)在才懂得謹慎已沒用了，你若在變?yōu)榍敉街熬投茫窃摱嗪醚?！”說完就飛走了。
