小学五年级英语阅读例文：
1、It is never too late to mend.
亡羊补牢
Once upon a time, there was a shepherd who kept several sheep.
从前有个人，养了几只羊。
One morning, the shepherd discovered that one of his sheep was missing.It turned out that, during the night, a wolf had stolen his sheep through a hole in the sheep pen.
一天早上，他发现少了一只羊。原来羊圈破了个窟窿，夜间狼从窟窿里钻进来把羊叼走了。
His neighbor suggested to him: “You should fix the pen and cover the hole right away.”
邻居劝告他说：“赶快把羊圈修一修，堵上那个窟窿吧。”
But the shepherd said: “The sheep is already lost, so I don’t need to repair it.” And so he rejected the neighbor’s suggestion.
他说：“羊已经丢了，还修羊圈干什么呢?”他没接受邻居的劝告。
The next morning, he discovered that another sheep was missing.Once again, the wolf stole the sheep through the hole in the fence.
第二天早上，他去放羊，发现又少了一只羊。原来狼又从窟窿里钻进来把羊叼走了。
The shepherd regretted not taking the neighbor’s advice.So he plugged the hole to secure the sheep pen.
他很后悔没有接受邻居的劝告，他赶快堵上那个窟窿，把羊圈修得结结实实的。
From then on, no more sheep was stolen by the wolf.
从此，他的羊再没有被狼叼走了。

“亡羊补牢”这个故事中的主人公虽然因为不听他人意见，而使自己蒙受了损失，但是后来经过自己的补救，使同样的情况没有再发生，所以现在我们常用这个成语表达“出现了问题，只要及时补救，都还来得及”。
英语中如果想表达同样的意思，我们可以说“It is never too late to mend.”，也就是“补救永远不嫌太晚”。
2、The early bird catches the worm
笨鸟先飞
A bird hatches six baby birds.The Sixth is very weak and small; his sisters and brothers usually bullyhim.The other birds usually rob food from his mouth, and the Sixth has to suffer from hunger.
树上一只鸟妈妈孵出了六只鸟成人，小六又瘦又小，哥哥姐姐们都欺负它;经常从它嘴里抢虫子，小六只得饿着肚子。
Sisters and Brothers call him “clumsy bird.”
哥哥姐姐们都叫他“小笨鸟”。
He determines to exercise more to be healthier, in order to not be laughed by his sisters and brothers.
于是他决心锻炼好身体，让哥哥姐姐们不再嘲笑自己。
The Sixth has a strong will and gets up very early every day.He always finishes exercising and eating worms by the time his sisters and brothers wake up.
他志气非常大，每天都起得很早，等哥哥姐姐们醒来，他已经跑完步，吃了虫子了。
When the winter is coming and the bird flock prepare to fly to the south, the “clumsy bird” is the first one to start flying.
冬天到了，鸟群要南飞了;小笨鸟是鸟群中第一个飞往南方的。

“笨鸟先飞”比喻了那些“本身资质可能稍逊于他人，但是靠加倍的努力赶上甚至是超过了别人”的人，英语中有一个意义相近的短语叫做“The early bird catches the worm.”,意思就是“早起的鸟儿有虫吃”，但是它并不强调这早起的鸟就是“笨鸟”，更多的强调了“勤能补拙”的意思。
所以，如果有一天你很早起床去学校，朋友很惊讶，问你：“Why are you so early?”那你就可以回答：“To catch worm.”(也就是自己把自己比喻成了“early bird”~)
