学习英语的过程中少不了磨耳朵，可能还有不少人不懂什么叫磨耳朵？磨耳朵，其实是听力输入的俗称。之所以叫磨不叫灌，体现的是不同的儿童观。听有趣的英语小故事是因为喜欢其中的韵律、故事和情节而主动选择的行为。听什么、怎么听，大人可以引导帮助却不能代替孩子做出选择。
当然光听故事来学英语还是远远不够的。有家少儿英语网课机构，建议各位家长有空可以带着孩子一起去亲身感受下。那里不仅有专业欧美外教对孩子进行一对一指导，而且上课生动有趣，浸入式的环境轻松提升少儿英语口语，会发现英语原来这么简单，让你孩子更好接触到纯正地道的英语口语表达。顺便送一个天下掉下来的馅饼：https://www.acadsoc.com.cn/vst/?id=169706
其实在很多小故事中，我们常常能在里面看到生活的影子。而正是这些来源于生活，却因文字而变得更加活泼的故事，带给我们更多的思考。下面让我们细细品读一下这些有趣的英文小故事吧！看能不能从这些故事中领悟更多关于生活的哲理。
一、狮子与报恩的老鼠
A Lion was awakened from sleep by a Mouse running over his face. Rising up angrily, he caught him and was about to kill him, when the Mouse piteously entreated, saying: "If you would only spare my life, I would be sure to repay your kindness." The Lion laughed and let him go. It happened shortly after this that the Lion was caught by some hunters, who bound him by strong ropes to the ground. The Mouse, recognizing his roar, came and gnawed the rope with his teeth and set him free, exclaiming:
"You ridiculed the idea of my ever being able to help you, expecting to receive from me any repayment of your favor; now you know that it is possible for even a Mouse to con benefits on a Lion."
二、节选《庄子》中的一则故事：
Once upon a time, a gigantic fish named Kun lived in the North Sea. No one knew how large it actually was. This fish could change itself into Peng （a roc）， a huge bird measuring thousands of kilometers in length. When the bird spread its wings, it looked like huge clouds in the sky. It could, in one stretch, fly from the North Sea to the South Sea on the other side of the globe, and soar up to 45,000 kilometers in the heaven.
The bird can surely fly over a long distance without stopping. Now people use this idiom to wish others have a successful career or a bright future.
三、一个人去往富人的房子
A man was going to the house of some rich person. As he went along the road, he saw a box of good apples at the side of the road. He said, "I do not want to eat those apples; for the rich man will give me much food; he will give me very nice food to eat." Then he took the apples and threw them away into the dust.
He went on and came to a river. The river had become very big; so he could not go over it. He waited for some time; then he said, "I cannot go to the rich man's house today, for I cannot get over the river."
He began to go home. He had eaten no food that day. He began to want food. He came to the apples, and he was glad to take them out of the dust and eat them.
Do not throw good things away; you may be glad to have them at some other time.
