小时候的英语作文短文【一】
A WOLF who had a bone stuck in his throat hired a Crane, for a large sum, to put her head into his mouth and draw out the bone. When the Crane had extracted the bone and demanded the promised payment, the Wolf, grinning and grinding his teeth, exclaimed: "Why, you have surely already had a sufficient recompense, in having been permitted to draw out your head in safety from the mouth and jaws of a wolf."
In serving the wicked, expect no reward, and be thankful if you escape injury for your pains.
狼误吞下了一块骨头，十分难受，四处奔走，寻访医生。他遇见了鹭鸶，谈定酬金请他 取出骨头，鹭鸶把自己的头伸进狼的喉咙里，叼出了骨头，便向狼要定好的酬金。狼回答 说：“喂，朋友，你能从狼嘴里平安无事地收回头来，难道还不满足，怎么还要讲报酬?”
这故事说明，对坏人行善的报酬，就是认识坏人不讲信用的本质。

Once there were two mice. They were friends. One mouse lived in the country; the other mouse lived in the city. After many years the Country mouse saw the City mouse; he said, "Do come and see me at my house in the country." So the City mouse went. The City mouse said, "This food is not good, and your house is not good. Why do you live in a hole in the field? You should come and live in the city. You would live in a nice house made of stone. You would have nice food to eat. You must come and see me at my house in the city."
The Country mouse went to the house of the City mouse. It was a very good house. Nice food was set ready for them to eat. But just as they began to eat they heard a great noise. The City mouse cried, " Run! Run! The cat is coming!" They ran away quickly and hid.
After some time they came out. When they came out, the Country mouse said, "I do not like living in the city. I like living in my hole in the field. For it is nicer to be poor and happy, than to be rich and afraid."
从前，有两只老鼠，它们是好朋友。一只老鼠居住在乡村，另一只住在城里。很多年以后，乡下老鼠碰到城里老鼠，它说：“你一定要来我乡下的家看看。”于是，城里老鼠就去了。乡下老鼠领着它到了一块田地上它自己的家里。它把所有最精美食物都找出来给城里老鼠。城里老鼠说：“这东西不好吃，你的.家也不好，你为什么住在田野的地洞里呢?你应该搬到城里去住，你能住上用石头造的漂亮房子，还会吃上美味佳肴，你应该到我城里的家看看。”
乡下老鼠就到城里老鼠的家去。房子十分漂亮，好吃的东西也为他们摆好了。可是正当他们要开始吃的时候，听见很大的一阵响声，城里的老鼠叫喊起来：“快跑!快跑!猫来了!”他们飞快地跑开躲藏起来。
过了一会儿，他们出来了。当他们出来时，乡下老鼠说：“我不喜欢住在城里，我喜欢住在田野我的洞里。因为这样虽然贫穷但是快乐自在，比起虽然富有却要过着提心吊胆的生活来说，要好些。”

??于示儿改写成的一篇短文雪夜。世界混沌。天地一派的寂，有如一幅萧的画。万径泯灭，无人交语，唯有寒风呼啸有如旁白。如此暗夜，残破木屋里，是谁在凝眉思索？体若寒冰，心犹不，孤独又落漠。是谁的残年有如那风中的烛火，摇曳闪烁。又是谁在苦苦追问：这世间，还有谁人知我？除却这几卷残破诗书于枕畔默默呤哦。…
如此光景，有谁能相信这位倒卧于残榻之上，苟延残喘的老者，竟是名噪一世的仗剑诗人陆游？遥想当年：壮岁从戎，曾是气吞残虏！到如今，却是功名梦断，独醉了余生，望秦关何处？流年又成虚度妒……唉，怎不教人嗟叹，这造化玩物，人何以堪！
伴随着破窗在风中悲泣，陆游的思绪起起伏伏，硝烟、剑光、狼毫、竹笺……在脑海中光怪交错，一时又忖起这段时间听到百姓们被遗弃而惨遭戮的传言，不由的一阵悲愤，挣扎想要坐起挥毫，一泄胸愤，然而心有余而力难逮，稍微一动，换来的只是一阵猛似一阵的剧烈咳嗽。
住在隔壁一直未敢深睡的'儿子陆子虞听见父亲痛苦的喘息，匆忙披着衣服跑来，将父亲缓缓扶起，轻抚其背，低声劝诫：父亲，何苦再纠结国事。您为国家百姓倾尽了心力，到头来却是如此凄惶，谁人来问？际遇如此，父亲还是放眼当下，好好保重身体，安度晚年吧！
陆游直视着儿子，语气凝重道：我儿，凡事都要以国家为重，无有国，安有家？男儿当世，就当报效朝廷，为民请命！只恨，我再也不能为国尽忠了……
陆子虞叹息一声，低头不语。
陆游看着窗外漆黑，忽然嘴角露出一丝淡淡的笑意：“那黑暗呀，它已恭候我多时了，我想我要去了”。陆子虞悲泣道：“父亲！”陆游看着儿子，笑意犹在，却有泪珠落下，他轻轻地说道：“儿啊，我知道人之后万事皆空，但纵是也心有不甘啊。为父此生最大的恨事就是没有等到国之大统的日子，北边的领土已被贼兵所占，尚未光复，遗憾啊……我儿，我命不久矣，尔等不必悲伤，来年朝廷定能驱逐残寇，收复江山，尔等在我祭日之时，一定不要忘记告诉为父江山一统的大好消息！”
陆子虞落泪不止：“父亲，您就放心吧，儿定会牢记您的话的……天已渐亮了，休息吧！”陆游紧紧拽着儿子的衣襟，轻轻的、一字一字的呤道：“去元知万事空，但悲不见九州同。王师北定中原日，家祭无忘告乃翁。”
寒风无情呼啸，世界仿似已经凝固，唯有一声悲鸣将之穿透。作为这悲怆世界唯一的亮光，那苦苦支撑了一夜的蜡烛，终于流完了它最后一滴眼泪，化作云烟飘散开去……
