英语小故事：Mice and
bull
A mouse once took a bite out of a
bull's tail as he lay dozing. The bull
jumped
up in a rage and, with his head low to the ground,
chased the
mouse right across the yard. The
mouse was too quick for him, however,
and
slipped easily into a hole in the wall.
The
bull charged the wall furiously again and again,
but although he
bruised his head and chipped
his horns, the mouse stayed safely inside his
hole. After a time the bull gave up and sank
down to rest again.
As soon as the bull was
asleep, the little mouse crept to the mouth of
the hole, pattered across the yard, bit the
bull again -- this time on the nose
-- and
rushed back to safety. As the bull roared
helplessly the mouse
squeaked:
ones
win, you know.

得比他快多了，从容地钻
到墙洞里去了。
公牛一次又一次地猛撞墙壁，尽管头撞肿了，角
撞裂了，老鼠却安然待
在洞里。过了一会儿，公牛不撞了，倒下歇着。
公牛刚睡着，小老鼠就爬到洞口，嗒嗒地跑过院子，又咬了公牛一口 ??
这回咬了鼻子 ??
又跑回安全的地方去。当公牛毫无办法地吼叫时，老鼠吱
吱叫道：
大人物并不总占上风。有时小人物也会取胜。

亡羊补牢
从前有一个牧民，养了几十只羊，白天放牧，晚上赶进一个用柴草和木
桩等物围起来的羊圈内。
一天早晨，这个牧民去放羊，发现羊少了一只。原来羊圈破了个窟窿，
夜间有狼从窟窿里钻
了进来，把一只羊叼走了。
邻居劝告他说：“赶快把羊圈修一修，堵上那个窟窿吧。”
他说：“羊已经
丢了，还去修羊圈干什么呢?”没有接受邻居的好心劝告。
第二天早上，他去放羊，发现又少了一只羊。原来狼又从窟窿里钻进羊
圈，又叼走了一只羊。
这位牧民很后悔没有认直接受邻居的劝告，去及时采取补救措施。于是，
他赶紧堵上那个窟窿，又从整体
进行加固，把羊圈修得牢牢实实的。
从此，这个牧民的羊就再也没有被野狼叼走过了。

认真
吸取教训，及时采取补救措施，就可以避免继续犯错误，遭受更大的损
失。
