以下是《伊索寓言》中的两个经典故事，附上英文版：
故事一：《The Hare and the Tortoise》
Once upon a time, there was a hare and a tortoise. They were friends and often played together. One day, they decided to race. The hare thought he would easily win because he was much faster than the tortoise. So, he started running very fast. The tortoise, however, plodded along slowly.
As the hare reached the halfway point, he turned around to see how far behind the tortoise was. To his surprise, the tortoise was almost at the finish line. The hare quickly tried to pick up the pace, but it was too late. The tortoise crossed the finish line and won the race.
The moral of the story is that slow and steady wins the race. This means that if you work hard and persevere, you will succeed in the end, no matter how fast or slow you are.

《兔子和乌龟》
从前，有一只兔子和一只乌龟。

他们是朋友，经常一起玩。

有一天，他们决定参加比赛。

兔子认为他会轻松获胜，因为他比乌龟快得多。

所以，他开始跑得很快。

然而，乌龟慢慢地走着。

当兔子走到一半时，他转过身来看看乌龟有多远。

令他惊讶的是，乌龟快到终点了。

兔子很快想加快步伐，但为时已晚。

乌龟冲过终点线赢得了比赛。

这个故事的寓意是缓慢而稳定地赢得比赛。

这意味着，如果你努力工作并坚持不懈，无论你有多快或有多慢，你最终都会成功。

故事二：《The Wolf and the Sheep》
One day, a wolf saw a sheep walking by and decided to eat it. He lunged at the sheep, but the sheep was too fast and escaped. The wolf then decided to ask the sheep for some water to drink. The sheep agreed and took the wolf to a nearby stream.
After drinking some water, the wolf suddenly lunged at the sheep again. This time, however, the sheep was prepared and managed to escape once again. The wolf then realized that he had been foolish to trust the sheep after trying to eat it in the first place.
The moral of this story is that one should not trust their enemies, even if they seem friendly. This means that you should always be careful and suspicious of people who may try to harm you or your friends.

《狼与羊》
一天，一只狼看到一只羊走过，决定吃掉它。

他向羊猛扑，但羊跑得太快，逃跑了。

然后，狼决定向绵羊要一些水喝。

绵羊同意了，把狼带到附近的一条小溪边。

狼喝了一些水后，突然又向绵羊猛扑过去。

然而，这一次，绵羊做好了准备，再次成功逃脱。

然后，狼意识到，在一开始就试图吃掉羊之后，他竟然相信羊是愚蠢的。

这个故事的寓意是，一个人不应该信任他们的敌人，即使他们看起来很友好。

这意味着你应该时刻小心并怀疑那些可能试图伤害你或你朋友的人。
