驴子和小狗动物英语小故事

　　编者按：《驴子和小狗》是一篇动物英语小故事，讲述的是一头驴效仿小狗的动作去讨主人欢喜结果却被主人打的事情，告诉我们每个人都是有自己的特色的，不用刻意去模仿别人。

　　A man had a little dog, and he was very fond of it. He would pat its head, and take it on his knee, and talk to it. Then he would give it little bits of food from his own plate.

　　A donkey looked in at the window and saw the man and the dog.

　　"Why does he not make a pet of me?" said the donkey.

　　"It is not fair. I work hard, and the dog only wags its tail, and barks, and jumps on its master's knee. It is not fair."

　　Then the donkey said to himself, "If I do what the dog does, he may make a pet of me."

　　So the donkey ran into the room. It brayed as loudly as it could. It wagged its tail so hard that it knocked over a jar on the table. Then it tried to jump on to its master's knee.

　　The master thought the donkey was mad, and he shouted, "Help! Help!" Men came running in with sticks, and they beat the donkey till it ran out of the house, and they drove it back to the field.

　　"I only did what the dog does," said the donkey," and yet they make a pet of the dog, and they beat me with sticks. It is not fair."

　　有个人养了一只小狗，他非常喜欢它。经常拍拍它脑袋，把它放在膝盖上，然后跟它说话。而且他会从自己的盘子里给它分一点点食物。

　　一只驴从窗户外看到了那人和狗。

　　“他为什么不拿我当宠物呢?””驴说。

　　“这不公平的，我努力工作，狗只会摇尾巴，吠叫，跳到主人的膝盖上。这是不公平的!”

　　然后驴子心想:“如果我学狗那样，主人可能就会拿我当宠物了。”

　　于是，驴子跑进了房间。它大声地嘶叫着，摇了摇尾巴，撞倒桌子上的一个罐子。然后，它试着跳到主人的膝盖上。

　　主人以为驴是疯了，他叫道:“救命啊!”人们用棍子过来把驴子赶出房间，然后把它赶回田野。

　　“我只做了狗做的事，”驴说，“可是他们拿狗当宠物，却用棍子打我。这不公平!”
