感恩英文故事：The Thankful Dog
Once upon a time, a kind-hearted farmer named Li Guang lived with his family in a small cottage. One day, a stray dog wandered into their yard and seemed lost and hungry. Li Guang’s wife, feeling sorry for the dog, decided to feed it.
The next morning, the farmer found a pile of freshly dug soil outside his doorstep. Curious, he followed the trail and discovered that the dog had dug a hole and buried something for him. Li Guang was touched by the dog’s kindness and decided to name him Xiao Wu (Little Helpful).
Every day, Li Guang would give Xiao Wu some food scraps and they became good friends. One day, Li Guang’s cottage was surrounded by thieves who were trying to steal his crops. Seeing Xiao Wu defend him, Li Guang realized that he was not just a loyal companion but also a brave and loyal protector.
Days later, the local governor passed by and saw Li Guang and Xiao Wu playing together. Seeing the kind-hearted farmer and his loyal dog, he decided to reward them with a gold coin. Li Guang refused the coin, saying that he was grateful for Xiao Wu’s companionship and loyalty, not for the reward.
Years later, when Li Guang passed away, Xiao Wu continued to guard his grave and protect his family. His story became a legend in the village, teaching everyone the importance of gratitude and kindness.
In this story, we see how a simple act of kindness from a stray dog can change a person’s life for the better. Xiao Wu’s loyalty and bravery are an example of how we should be grateful for the little things in life and show kindness to others.
