今天就来和咱们共享一下英语寓言故事：树和斧子，一同来看看吧。
A Woodman came into a forest to ask the Trees to give him a handle for Ax. It seemed so modest a request that the principal tree at once agreed to it, and it was settled among them that the plain, homely Ash should furnish what was wanted.
No sooner had the Woodman fitted the staff to his purpose ,then he began laying about him on all side.Felling the whole matter too late, whispered to the Cedar: "the first concession has lost all ;if we has not a sacrificed our humble neighbor, we might have yet stood for ages ourselves."
有一个樵夫来到森林里，要求树给他一跟斧柄，看来他的恳求十分谦善，马上得到了树的领袖的同意。他们决议由平凡而朴素的白杨树来供给所需求的东西。
樵夫刚按好斧柄，就开端到处乱砍，森林里最高的树都砍倒了，树林现在发觉大势已去，就小声对衫树说："第一次的退让已失去了全部，假如咱们不献身咱们的小小的街坊，咱们自己还能够活无数年呢。"
