狼和小羊的故事英文版
Once upon a time, in a lush green meadow, there lived a flock of sheep. Among them was a little lamb, who was the baby of the group. The lamb was always playful and curious, hopping around here and there.
One day, the lamb decided to wander off on its own. The other sheep warned it to stay close, but the lamb insisted that it would be fine. As it roamed on, it suddenly heard a growl. It turned around and saw a big, menacing wolf standing behind it.
The wolf licked his lips and said, "Well, well, well. What do we have here? A little lamb all by itself. It's my lucky day!" The lamb was frightened and didn't know what to do. The wolf approached closer and closer, and the lamb could smell his stinky breath.
Just as the wolf was about to pounce, the lamb pleaded, "Please, Mr. Wolf, don't eat me! I have a mother and father who love me very much, and they will miss me terribly." The wolf stopped in his tracks and grinned. "A mother and father, eh? Well, little lamb, I don't see them anywhere. Maybe I'll just have to eat you and find them later."
The lamb knew it had to think of something fast. It said, "Mr. Wolf, before you eat me, could you please listen to a song I
learned from my mother? She always sings it to me when I'm scared." The wolf raised an eyebrow and asked, "A song? What kind of nonsense is that?"
The lamb began to sing in a soft, sweet voice:
"Little lamb, little lamb,
Don't you cry, don't you cry.
For I'm here by your side,
To protect you from the night.
Little lamb, little lamb,
Close your eyes, close your eyes.
For the stars are shining bright,
And everything will be alright."
As the lamb was singing, the wolf began to feel drowsy. He yawned and stretched, and eventually lay down on the grass. Before he knew it, he was fast asleep. The lamb tiptoed away and ran back to the flock, who had been watching the whole thing from a distance.
All the sheep cheered and congratulated the lamb on its bravery. However, the lamb told them that it was just trying to survive and that it had thought on its feet. From that day on, the flock of sheep made sure to stay together and watch out for each
other, always remembering the cunning and cleverness of their youngest member.
The moral of the story is that even the smallest and weakest among us can outsmart the strongest and most threatening, as long as we use our wits instead of brawn.。
