短篇英語童話小故事：袋鼠與籠子
One day the staff members of a zoo called a meeting to discuss the problem--how to deal with the kangaroos that were found out of the cage. They came to the conclusion that the cage was placed too low and decided to raise it from one to two meters high. But the next day the kangaroos were still at large and they again raised the cage to three meters.
有一天，動物園的管理員們發現袋鼠從籠子裏跑出來了， 於是開會討論，一致認爲是籠子的高度過低，所以他們決定將籠子的高度由原來的1米加高到2米。結果第二天他們發現，袋鼠還是跑到外面來，所以他們又決定再將高度加高到3米。
Quite beyond their expectation the next morning they saw the kangaroos still free to go about. They were alarmed and determined to go to all the length by raising the cage to the height of ten meters.
沒想到隔天居然又看到袋鼠全跑到外面，於是管理 員們大爲緊張，決定一不做二不休，將籠子的高度加高到10米。
Later a giraffe, while chatting with some kangaroos, asked them, “Do you think they will go on raising your cage?”
一天，長頸鹿和幾隻袋鼠在閒聊，“你們看，這些人 會不會再繼續加高你們的籠子?”長頸鹿問。
“Hard to say,” said a kangaroo, “if they continue forgetting to fasten the cage door.”
“很難說。”袋鼠說，“如果他們再繼續忘記關門的話!”
短篇英語童話小故事：第一次坐飛機
Mr. Johnson had never been up in an aerophane before ， so one day when a friend offered to take him for a ride in his own small phane, Mr. Johnson was very worried about accepting. Finally, however, his friend persuaded him that it was very safe, and Mr. Johnson boarded the plane.
約翰遜先生從前未乘過飛機。所以，有一天一位朋友邀請他乘自己的小飛機飛行時，約翰遜先生非常擔心，不敢接受。不過，由於朋友不斷保證說飛行是很安全的，約翰遜先生終於被說服了，登上了飛機。
His friend started the engine and began to taxi onto the runway of the airport. Mr. Johnson had heard that the most dangerous part of a flight were the take-off and the landing, so he was extremely frightened and closed his eyes.
他的朋友啓動引擎開始在機場跑道上滑行。約翰遜先生聽說飛行中最危險的是起飛與降落，所以他嚇得緊閉雙眼。
After a minute or two he opened them again, looked out of the window of the plane, and said to his friend, "Look at those people down there. They look as small as ants, don't they?"
過了一兩分鐘，他睜開雙眼朝窗外望去，接着對朋友說道：“看下面那些人，他們看起來就象螞蟻一樣小，是不是?”
"Those are ants," answered his friend. "We're still on the ground."
“那些就是螞蟻，”他的朋友答道，“我們還在地面上。”
