經(jīng)典故事英語作文：小馬過河
One day, a colt carried a bag of wheat to the mill.
As he was running with the bag on his back, he came to a small river. Water went gurgling on. The colt could not decide whether he could cross it. Looking around, he saw a cow grazing nearby. He asked, "Uncle Cow, could you tell me if I can cross the river?" the cow told him that he could and that the river was not very deep, just to his knees.
The colt was crossing the river when a squirrel jumped down a tree and stopped him. The squirrel shouted, "Colt, stop! You'll be drowned! One of my friends was drowned yesterday just in the river." Not knowing what to do, the colt went home to consult his mom.
He told his mom his experience on the way. His mother said, "My child, don't always listen to others. You'd better go and try yourself. Then you'll know what to do."
Just at the river, the squirrel stopped the colt again. "Little horse, it's too dangerous!" "No, I want to have a try by myself", answered the colt. Then he crossed the river carefully. On the other side of the river, the colt realized that the river was neither as shallow as the cow said nor as as deep as the squirrel told him.
The fable tells us a truth: real knowledge comes from practices.
一天， 老馬讓小馬馱著半口袋麥子到磨坊去磨面。
小馬馱著口袋朝著磨坊跑去。忽然，一天小河擋住了去路，河水嘩嘩地流著。小馬為難了，怎么辦呢?它向四周望了望，看見一頭老牛在河邊吃草。小馬問道：“牛伯伯，請您告訴我，這條河我能趟過去嗎?”老牛說：“能。誰很淺，剛沒小腿。”
小馬聽了老牛的話，正準(zhǔn)備過河，突然叢樹上跳下一只松鼠，攔住它大叫道：“小馬，別過河!河水會把你淹死的。昨天，我的一個伙伴就是掉到這條河里淹死的!”小馬不知如何是好，決定回家問媽媽。
小馬把路上的經(jīng)歷告訴了媽媽。媽媽說：“孩子，光聽別人說是不行的，你自己親自去試一試，就知道答案了。”
小馬回到河邊，剛要下水，松鼠又大叫起來：“小馬，你不要命啦?”小馬說：“讓我試試吧。”它一面回答一面下了河，小心地趟了過去。原來河水既不像老牛說的那樣淺也不像松鼠說的那樣深。
這則寓言告訴我們:實踐出真知。
