英語有趣的故事短文

  一隻螞蟻

Once there was a little ant. She wanted to get married, but she only wanted to marry the strongest creature.

She wanted to marry the strongest creature, but she didn’t know who the strongest creature is. She saw the wind blow houses down. So she thought the wind was the strongest creature. She wanted to marry the wind.

But the wind told the little ant that ht wasn’t the strongest creature. There was a tower in the forest. He had stood there for a thousand years against his force. The tower was the strongest creature.

“Why do you want to marry me?” the wind asked.

“Because you are the strongest creature in the world. You are strongest than the wind.” said the ant.

“You are right. I’m strongest than the wind. But I’m not the strongest creature in the world. Look, how I’m damaged! Can’t you guess who has done this to me? It’s you, ants.”

At last, the little ant married her own kind. Because they were the strongest creatures.

A tiger is hungry, he is looking for food. He sees a frog in front of him. “Ha ha! A frog! My dinner!” so he rushes at the frog.

Behind the tiger, there is a tortoise. The little tortoise sees it; he bites the tiger’s tail.“Ouch!” cries the tiger and he looks back. The frog hears the voice and jumps into water. “Thank you, little tortoise.” says the the tiger is very angry. “Bother it! I’ll throw you to the sky!”“Thank you, I like flying in the sky,” says the tortoise.

The tiger stops, “I will throw you into the river.”

“Oh,no! I can’t swim; I will die if you throw me into the water.” The tiger threw the tortoise into the water quickly.

“Thank you, Mr. Tiger. Bye-bye.” The tortoise and the frog swim away together.

  Let's Speak English

It was the first day of class. Two of her new ESL classmates wanted to know where Tara was from. They were both from Iraq. Because Tara looked Iraqi, one of the women asked Tara, in English, if she was from Iraq. Tara replied, "No, I'm not." Then the women took turns asking Tara if she was from Iran, or Syria, or Jordan. To each question, Tara responded with a simple no. Laughing, one woman said to the other, "She's not from anywhere!" The two went to their desks, tAlking to each other in Arabic.

The next day, the teacher divided the students into groups of four. The students in each group asked introductory questions of each other. A student in Tara's group asked her, "Where are you from?" Tara answered that she was from Iraq. The two women who had questioned Tara the day before were sitting only a few feet away. Both of them heard Tara's response.

"Aha!" they both exclaimed. "You ARE from Iraq!" Tara smiled and said yes. Then she apologized to both of them for lying the day before. She explained that she had not wanted to get into an Arabic conversation with them. It had been her experience that many ESL students continued to speak their native language in ESL class, and Tara had not come to ESL class to practice her Arabic. In her opinion, ESL students should try to speak English only.

"I agree," said Rose.

"You're 100 percent right," agreed Jennifer. "Rose and I must stop speaking Arabic to each other. Right, Rose?" Rose nodded, and then said something in Arabic. All three women laughed.

Over the next four months, Tara became friendly with both women, although she never spoke a word of Arabic to them during class or break.
