小学英语故事(合适小学生浏览&背诵的英文小故事)

从前,有四个盲人很想知道大象是什么样子,可他们看不见,只好用手摸。

The fat blind person touched the elephant’s ivory first. He said: “ Oh, I see! The elephant is big, thick and smooth, just like the carrots.”

胖盲人先摸到了大象的牙齿。他就说:“我知道了,大象就像一个又大、又粗、又光滑的大萝卜。”

高个子盲人摸到的是大象的耳朵。“不对,不对,大象明明是一把大蒲扇嘛!”

The short blind person touched the elephant’s leg. He said: “ You are all wrong! The elephant is a pillar.”

他大叫起来。“你们净瞎说,大象只是根大柱子。”本来矮个子盲人摸到了大象的腿。

The old blind person said: “ The elephant is not that big. It’s just like a rope.” He was touching the elephant’s tail.
