英語小故事：The deer at the pond 池塘邊的鹿
There once lived a deer who had large， strong antlers. The antlers protected the deer from attacks， so enemies left him alone.
One day， the deer went to a pond to drink. The water was like a mirror. When the deer looked at his big antlers in the water， he was proud. “I look like a king，” he said， “and this forest is my kingdom.”
Then he noticed something else. “My legs are slender and my feet are small，” he said. “They look so weak. I hate them.”
While the deer was complaining， a wolf appeared at the pond. When the deer saw him， he ran toward the trees. The wolf quickly ran after him.
The deer was a fast runner and reached the trees first，but then his large antlers got stuck in some branches. When the wolf caught up to him， the deer cried out with regret.
“I admired my antlers， but they are the cause of my troubles. My legs and feet could have saved me， but I hated them. I didn‘t appreciate what was truly valuable！”
從前有一只鹿，有著大而強(qiáng)壯的鹿角。鹿角保護(hù)鹿免受攻擊，這樣敵人就不能抓住他。
一天，鹿到池塘邊喝水。水像一面鏡子。當(dāng)鹿看著他在水中的大鹿角，他很自豪。“我看起來像一個(gè)國王，”他說，“這片森林是我的王國。”
然后他注意到了別的。他說：“我的腿細(xì)長，腳也很小”。他們看起來很虛弱。我討厭他們。”
鹿在抱怨時(shí)，一只狼出現(xiàn)在池塘里。當(dāng)鹿看見他時(shí)，他朝樹林里跑去。狼很快就追上了他。鹿跑得很快，先到了樹林里，但他的大鹿角被一些樹枝卡住了。當(dāng)狼趕上他時(shí)，鹿后悔地哭了。
“我很欣賞我的鹿角，但他們給我?guī)砹寺闊Ｎ业耐群湍_都可能會救了我，但我卻討厭他們。我不懂得欣賞真正有價(jià)值的東西！”
