简短的英语小故事

Long long ago, there was a shepherd boy who grazed sheep on a hill everyday. One day the boy felt a little lonely and wanted to make fun of the farmers laboring at the foot of the hill. So he climbed up a big stone, and shouted:"wolves have come! wolves have come!" In a minute, the farmers came only to find there were no wolves at all. Seeing the farmers were taken in, the boy laughed and said, ‘I am just joking, Don't take it seriously.’ Then the farmers shook their head and left. A few days later, the farmers heard the boy shout again. So they ran up the hill and found that they were cheated again. Another day, several wolves really came. The boy was frightened and cried out: ‘ help! Wolves have come!” But this time, no one came. 从前,有个放羊娃,每天都去山上放羊。 一天,他觉得十分无聊,就想了个捉弄大家寻开心的主意。他向着山下正在种田的 农夫们大声喊:“狼来了!狼来了!救命啊!”农夫们听到喊声急忙拿着锄头和镰刀往 山上跑,他们边跑边喊:“不要怕,孩子,我们来帮你打恶狼!” 农夫们气喘吁吁地赶到山上一看,连狼的影子也没有!放羊娃哈哈大笑:“真有意思,你们上当了!”农夫们生气地走了。 第二天,放羊娃故伎重演,善良的农夫们又冲上来帮他打狼,可还是没有见到狼的 影子。 放羊娃笑得直不起腰:“哈哈!你们又上当了!哈哈!”大伙儿对放羊娃一而再再 而三地说谎十分生气,从此再也不相信他的话了。 过了几天,狼真的来了,一下子闯进了羊群。放羊娃害怕极了,拼命地向农夫们喊:“狼来了!狼来了!快救命呀!狼真的来了!”农夫们听到他的喊声,以为他又在说谎,大家都不理睬他,没有人去帮他,结果放羊娃的许多羊都被狼咬死了。
