二年级英语阅读:马和驴The horse and the ass

A horse and an ass were traveling together. The horse was prancing along in its beautiful trappings, but the ass was carrying the heavy weight in its saddlebags. I wish I were you, sighed the ass. You have nothing to do, and wear such a beautiful harness.

The next day there was a great battle. The horse was badly wounded in the final charge.

The ass passed and saw the dying horse. I was wrong, said the ass.Safety is much more important than beautiful clothes.

马和驴一起旅行，马拉着轻便的车轻松地前行，而驴驮着很重的鞍囊走路。我多希望我是你，驴感叹道，你什么也不用做，却佩带这么漂亮的马具。

后来爆发了一场战争，马在最后的冲锋中不幸身受重伤。

驴从将要死去的马身边经过。我错了，驴说，安全比漂亮的衣服更重要。

寓意: 不要随便羡慕别人，各人都有自己的生活，都有自己的幸福与不幸。
