寓言故事往往都是结构简单而寓意深刻，大多采用借喻的手法使得富有教育意义的主题、在简单的故事中体现出来。那么英语的学习也可以通过阅读小故事来实现、在简单的故事中吸取知识和道理。下面是关于简单英语故事的分享：

简单英语故事一《树和斧子》

A woodman came into a forest to ask the Trees to give him a handle for Ax. It seemed so modest a request that the principal tree at once agreed to it, and it was settled among them that the plain、homely Ash should furnish what was wanted.No sooner had the Woodman fitted the staff to his purpose、then he began laying about him on all side.Felling the whole matter too late, whispered to the Cedar: "the first concession has lost all、if we has not a sacrificed our humble neighbor, we might have yet stood for ages ourselves."

翻译为：有一樵夫来到了森林里面，他要求树给他一根斧柄。树看他的请求非常的谦虚，于是得到了树首领的同意，他们决定使用平凡朴素的白杨树来提供所需要的东西。樵夫刚安好了一把斧柄就开始到处乱砍，森林里最高的树都被他砍倒了。树林现在觉得大势已去，就小声地对杉树说：“第一次的让步就已经失去了一切，如果不是我们牺牲我们小小的邻居，我们自己还可以活很多年呢。”其中的“woodman（樵夫）”“the Trees（树林）”都是学习的知识点。

简单英语故事二《乌鸦的羽毛》

A raven saw a Swan and desired to secure for himself the same beautiful plumage.Supposing that the Swan's splendid white color arose from his washing in the water in which he swam, the Raven left the altars in the neighborhood where he picked up his living, and took up residence in the lakes and pools.But cleansing his feathers as often as he would, he could not change their color, while through want of food he perished.

翻译为：乌鸦非常羡慕天鹅洁白的羽毛，于是他猜想天鹅一定是经常洗澡羽毛才变得如此洁白无瑕。于是他毅然决然地离开了赖以生存的祭坛、来到了江边，他天天洗刷自己的羽毛、不但一点都没有变白，反而因为缺少食物而饿死。其中“desire to（猜想）”、“through（即使、反而）”是需要学习掌握的词汇。

以上两个简单英语故事都是寓意深刻的，不过内容都很直白且涉及到的英语单词也是比较简单的，那么孩子们阅读之后就可以学习到一定的英语知识了。
