斧头axe[英][æks] [美][æks] 中英文小故事：男孩和斧头 从前，在一个小村子里，住着一个贫穷却很勤劳的男孩。他的父亲患了重病，长期卧床不起，失去了劳作能力。为此，男孩不得已靠卖柴为生。每天一大早，他就得爬起来上山砍柴。 深秋季节里的某一天，男孩像往常一样，拿了斧头到深山里去砍柴。男孩在小湖边上看到了一棵枝桠繁密的大树。他爬上树，挥动斧头砍树枝。他砍呀砍，突然，一个不小心让斧头从手中滑落到湖水里，立刻失去了踪影。 男孩悲伤地哭了起来，没有了斧头，他无以为生了。这时，平静的湖水起了涟漪,然后动荡起来了。从波浪中冒出一个老汉，把男孩吓了一跳。 “孩子，别怕。告诉我你为何哭得如此伤心呢？”老汉问。 “我……我的斧头掉到湖里去了，”男孩哭着说，“它可是我惟一的谋生工具啊！” “别哭了，我这就给你找斧头去。”老汉说完，便消失在湖中了，湖水又恢复原来的平静。 过了不久，湖水又动荡起来了。老汉从波浪中走出来。他的手举着一把金斧头。 “这是不是你的斧头？”老汉温和地问男孩。“这斧头好漂亮啊！”男孩惊叫道，“但它不是我的。我不能接受。” “那好，你等着，我再去找你的斧头。” 老汉的身影又消失在湖中。过了一会儿，他又手举一把银斧头从波浪里冒出来。 “是这把吗，孩子？” “也不是。”男孩坦诚地说，“我的斧头既不是金做的，也不是银做的，它只是一把普普通通的铁斧头罢了。” “那好，你等着，孩子。”老汉说完又消失在湖中。 老汉再次现身时，果然拿着男孩的斧头。男孩叫道：“这才是我的斧头，这才是我的斧头！” 老汉非常喜欢这个诚实的男孩。他说：“好孩子，我把金斧头和银斧头也一齐送给你。你快给你父亲找个好医生，他的病一定会好起来的。”老汉说完，又消失在湖中了。 男孩立即跪在地上向老汉道谢。然后，他回家去，把金银斧头都卖了，换来了不少钱，然后请来医生把父亲的病治好了。 The Boy and His Axe A long time ago, there lived a very poor but hardworking boy in a small suburb.
