小学水平英语小故事

掩耳盗铃
Long, long ago, a man found a very big bell tied to a house door. He wanted to take it away but he couldn't reach it. When the man tried to break it into pieces with a hammer, there was a loud clanging sound. He was afraid that someone would hear the noise, so he immediately covered his ears. But he was caught for others didn't cover their ears. They could hear the noise.
Worrying about other people hearing the noise is understandable, but covering his own ears as if this would prevent others from hearing is absurd.

Once upon a time, there were four mice that lived in a wall in the field.
Summer was coming, and so the mice came out of the wall to collect berries, nuts, corn and straw. Everyone was working very hard, day and night. Everyone was working very hard, except, Frederick.
“Why aren’t you working, Frederick?” his friends asked him. “oh, but I am.” Frederick told them. “I’m collecting the sunshine for the cold, dark winter.”
A few days later his friends asked him again “why aren’t you working, Frederick?” “Oh, but I am.” Frederick told them. “I’m collecting colors for the long, grey winter.”
A few days later his friends asked him again “why aren’t you working, Frederick?” “Oh, but I am.” Frederick told them. “I’m collecting words for the long, quiet winter.”
Soon, the first snow came, and the four mice went back into the wall. They ate their berries and they ate their nuts and they ate their corn and they ate their straw. But time passed, and time passed, and soon there were no more berries, and soon there were no more nuts and soon there were no more corn and soon there were no more straw.
Now the winter was cold and dark, long and quiet. The mice were sad and hungry. Then they remembered Frederick.
“Hey, Frederick, can you show us what you collected for the winter.”
“Ok,” said Frederick, “close your eyes. Here is my sunshine for the cold, dark winter.” And Frederick began to tell his friends some stories, and the mice to feel warmer and warmer.
“Great, Frederick! How about the colors and the words?”
“Ok,” said Frederick, “close your eyes” and he told them about the blue skies, and he told them about the red poppies, and he told them about the green grass, and he told them about the purple berries, and he told them about the yellow corn of summer.
“That’s wonderful, Frederick, thank you.” Said the mice. “We’ve learned something about you”, they told him.
What do you think they learned?
