英语故事演讲稿 BUYING A HAT
A lady went to a hat shop to buy a hat。 As she was very fussy， it took her a long time to pick on one。 Already at the end of his patience the salesman was afraid that she might change her mind again so he tried to flatter her: "An excellent choice， madam。 You look at least ten years younger with this hat on!" To his dismay， the lady took off her hat at once and said: "I don't want a hat that makes me look ten years older as soon as I take it off。 Show me some more hats!"

牧童和狼
a shepherd-boy， who tended his flock not far from a village， used to amuse himself at times in crying out"wolf !wolf!"twice or thrice his trick succeeded 。the whole village came running out to his assistance when all the return they got was to be laughed at for their pains 。at last one day the wolf came indeed 。the boy cried out in earnest。 but his neighbors， supposing him to be at his old sport， paid no heed to his cries， and the wolf devoured the sheep。 so the boy learned， when it was too late， that liars are not believed even when they tell the truth。
一个放羊的孩子在离村子不远的地方放羊。他为了开心寻乐常喊:"狼来了!狼来了!"他的恶作剧有两三次到达了目的。全村的人都跑来帮忙，而他们所得到的回报却是一顿嘲笑，白费了心力。最后，有一天狼真的来了。这个孩子认真地大喊起来。但是他的邻人们却以为他又在耍把戏，谁都不理会他的喊叫，于是狼把羊吃了。因此这牧童得到了教训:爱说谎的人，甚至在他说真话的时候，也没人相信他，但是他明白得太晚了。

顾客问老板:「为什么这只要卖五千元?这个价钱对这种鹦鹉来说太贵了!」
老板说:「因为我有训练他讲话。」
顾客又问:「那这只呢?他会做什么?为什么要卖这么贵?」
老板说:「他除了会说话之外，还会表演一些搞笑的动作，好比说跳舞等等，所以才卖这么贵。」
顾客之后又问:「那第三只呢?他会做什么?为什么要卖这么贵?」
老板说:「我不明白。我从没听过他讲话、吹口哨或唱歌，也没看过他跳舞，什么都没有!但是另外两只叫他:『老板!』
