用英语讲中国小故事
Once upon a time in a small village, there lived an old man who was known for his wisdom. He had a pet rooster that would crow at the break of dawn, signaling the start of a new day.
One morning, the rooster was silent. The villagers were puzzled, as they relied on its crow to rise early for work. The old man, curious, found the rooster with a thorn in its foot. He gently removed it, and from that day forward, the rooster would always find a way to help the old man in return.
In the village, there was a young boy who was always in a hurry, rushing through his chores and never taking the time
to appreciate the world around him. One day, he saw the old man tending to the rooster and was struck by the lesson of kindness and patience.
The boy decided to change his ways. He started to help others in the village, just as the old man had helped the rooster. His actions inspired others to do the same, and the village became a place of harmony and cooperation.
Years passed, and the old man grew weaker. The villagers, who had learned so much from him, gathered around to support him. They told stories of the wisdom he had imparted and the kindness he had shown.
On a quiet evening, the old man passed away peacefully, surrounded by those he had touched with his life. The villagers mourned but also celebrated the legacy he left behind. The rooster, now old itself, crowed one last time, a final tribute to the man who had changed their village forever.
And so, the story of the old man and his rooster became a legend, a reminder to all that small acts of kindness can have a profound impact, and that wisdom can be found in the most unexpected places.。
