When my husband was going into the dining room this morning, he dropped some coins on the floor.
There were coins everywhere. We looked for them, but we could not find them all.
While we were having breakfast, our little boy, Tommy, found two small coins on the floor.
He put them both into his mouth. We both tried to get the coins, but it was too late. Tommy had already swallowed them!
Late that morning, when I was doing the housework, My husband phoned me from the office.
'How's Tommy?' he asked. 'I don't know,' I answered, 'Tommy's been to the toilet three times this morning, but I haven't had any change yet!'

英语小故事贫穷vs富有
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。

另一个传说记载。

据说有一位农民在一个风雪交加的圣诞夜里接待了一个饥寒交迫的小孩，让他吃了一顿丰盛的圣诞晚餐，这个孩子告别时折了一根杉树枝插在地上并祝福说:“年年此日，礼物满枝，留此美丽的杉村，报答你的好意。

”小孩走后，农民发现那树枝竟变成了一棵小树，他才明白自己接待的原来是一位上帝的使者。

这个故事就成为圣诞树的来源。

在西方，不论是否基督徒，过圣诞节时都要准备一棵圣诞树，以增加节日的欢乐气氛。

圣诞树一般是用杉柏之类的常绿树做成，象征生命长存。

树上装饰着各种灯烛、彩花、玩具、星星，挂上各种圣诞礼物。

圣诞之夜，人们围着圣诞树唱歌跳舞，尽情欢乐。
