卖书的英语小作文【一】
There was a farmer in the Song Kingdom in ancient China. He worked in his field day after day. In good harvest years, he could only have enough food to eat and enough clothing to wear. If the field failed to produce enough crops, he had to go hungry. This farmer wanted to improve his life. But he was too lazy and too cowardly. He always dreamed of having unexpected fortune.
A miracle took place at last. One day, when he worked in the field, some people were hunting nearby. They shouted loudly one after another. Some little animals were running desperately. Suddenly, a hare dashed itself headlong against the stump of a dead tree in his field and died.
That day, he had a good meal.
From that day on, he no longer worked in his field. From morning till night, he stayed by that miraculous stump, waiting for another hare. Will the miracle happen again?
People often use the set phrase “staying by a stump waiting for more hares to come and dash themselves against it" to refer to persons dreaming to reap without sowing.
在战国时代的宋国，有一个农民，每天都很辛苦地在田地里干活.遇到好年景，也不过刚刚吃饱穿暖;要是遇到灾荒，他就得忍饥挨饿了.他很想能过上好一点的日子，可是他太懒，胆子又特小，干什么都是又懒又怕的，总是想着能碰到送上门来的意外之财就好了。
奇迹终于发生了。一天，他正在田里干活，一群打猎的人靠近了。吆喝之声四处起伏，受惊的小动物们没命地奔跑。突然， 有一只兔子，不偏不倚，一头撞死在他田边的树根上。
这天，他美美地饱餐了一顿。
从此，他就不再种地了，一天到晚守着那个神奇的.树根，等着奇迹再次出现。
人们后来就常用“守株待兔”这个成语来形容那些老梦想着不耕种就会有收获的人。

懵懂无知的我刚踏进小学的大门，爸爸妈妈从班主任口中得知我很爱看书，欣喜若狂。无论工作多忙，书的价钱多贵，他们总会抽出时间带我去书店看书、买书。弹指一挥间，我现在已经上五年级了，由于我爸爸妈妈又租下了好几家门市，他们越来越忙，带我去书店的时间也越来越少，基本上一两个月才带我去一次书店，而且每次去就只有短短的一个小时，所以，我只能自己去书店用自己的零用钱买书看。
这天我参加完同学的生日聚会，乘坐出租车回家，原本的目的地是中心站，不料刚刚驶入公路，心里边有了一个声音：“去书店看书吧”！这个声音反反复复在心里念叨。“司机叔叔就在这儿停下吧！”我迫不及待地喊道。下了车我心里一直犯嘀咕，比如：我喜欢的`书卖光了；忘记书放哪儿了……但就没想到会差钱，我清楚地记得我有三十元钱的，却忘了钱已经在司机叔叔兜里了。于是发生了这件尴尬的事儿。走过一排排书柜，我像一个老手一样来到沈石溪的动物小说处，哟！《残狼灰满》，不错，就它啦！当我准备付钱时，才发现口袋空空如也，我一脸的惊讶和尴尬，用无助眼神望向售货员姐姐，好像在请求，好像在哭诉。姐姐禁不住我的苦苦哀求，答应让我卖出10本动物小说，就送我一本。顿时心中的喜悦不言而喻。销售开始了，我像一位熟练的售货员一样，一看到有顾客上门，就满脸笑容地迎上去：“阿姨，看看这本书吧！我看过很不错，很适合孩子看……”
也许，他们认为一个孩子推销书很新奇吧！也许他们认为一个孩子做售书员很能干吧！竟然都买了。
黄昏时分，我终于如愿以偿地推销完了十本动物小说。怀里抱着一本我劳动得来的成果，脚步轻盈地踏上了回家的路。

??寓言小故事：The Wolf and the LambaWolf, meeting with a Lamb astray from the fold, resolved not to lay violent hands on him, but to find some plea, which should justify to the Lamb himself his right to eat him. He thus addressed him:"Sirrah, last year you grossly insulted me." "Indeed," bleated the Lamb in a mournful tone of voice, "I was not then born." Then said the Wolf, "You feed in my pasture."
"No, good sir," replied the Lamb, "I have not yet tasted grass." Again said the Wolf, "You drink of my well." "No," exclaimed the Lamb, "I never yet drank water, for as yet my mother′s milk is both food and drink to me." On which the Wolf seized him, and ate him up, saying, "Well! I won′t remain supperless, even though you refute every one of my imputations."The tyrant will always find a pretext for his tyranny.
狼和小羊
一只狼瞧见一只迷路失群的小羊，决定暂缓下毒手，想先找一些理由，对小羊证明自己有吃它的权利。它就说：「小鬼!你去年曾经骂过我。」小羊可怜地说：「老实说，我去年还没有出生呢。」狼再说：「你在我的草地上吃过草。」
小羊回答说：「不，好先生，我还未曾尝过草的味道呢。」狼又说：「你喝过我井里的.水。」小羊叫道：「不，我从没有喝过水，因为直到今天为止，我都是吃着母亲的奶汁。」狼一听这话，便抓住它，把它吃下去，便说：「好!即使你驳倒我每一句话，我终究要吃晚餐的!」暴君总有他暴行的借口。
