引導語：《蛤蟆的故事》出自《格林童話》，下面是小編整理的這篇童話故事的中英文對照，與大家分享閱讀學習。
從前有一個小孩，她的媽媽每天下午給她一小碗牛奶和一些面包，讓她端著食物坐在院子里。每當她開始吃的時候，就有一只蛤蟆從一個墻洞里爬出來，把它的小腦袋伸進盤子里同她一起吃。孩子很高興這樣，只要她端著小盤子坐在那兒的時候，蛤蟆沒同時出來，她就會高聲唱：
"蛤蟆，蛤蟆，快出來，
到這里來，你這個小東西，
吃點面包，喝點奶，
吃好，喝好，身體好。"
這時蛤蟆會急忙出來，津津有味地吃起來。為了表示它的謝意，蛤蟆從洞里搬出了它珍藏的各式各樣的寶物，寶石呀，珍珠呀，和金子的玩具呀。可是蛤蟆只喝牛奶卻不吃面包渣。一天，小孩子用她的小勺子輕輕地敲了敲蛤蟆的腦袋說："小家伙，你也得吃面包渣呀。"在廚房里的媽媽聽見了小孩子在和誰說話便往外看，當她看見小孩子正用勺子敲一只蛤蟆時，她抄起一根長木頭沖了出去，把那只善良的小生靈打死了。
從那時開始小孩就變了，那蛤蟆與她一同進餐的時候，她長得又高又壯，可是現在她失去了紅紅的臉蛋，而且越來越瘦。不久送葬鳥在夜里開始哭喪，紅胸鴝銜來樹枝和樹葉編成了一個花圈，不久小孩子就躺在了靈床上。
有一個孤兒坐在城墻邊紡線，她看見從城墻下面的一個洞里爬出一只蛤蟆。她迅速地將一塊藍色絲手帕在它旁邊鋪開，據說蛤蟆十分喜歡藍色手帕，經常要爬到上面。所以蛤蟆一看見手帕，就回到洞中取出一個小小的金皇冠放到手帕上，然后又離開了。小姑娘拿起皇冠，只見皇冠閃著金光，是用細細的金線織成的寶物。不一會蛤蟆回來了，見到皇冠不在了，它沖著墻爬去，絕望地用小小的腦袋撞墻，它用全身的力量不停地撞呀，撞呀，直至最后倒地死去。如果小姑娘將皇冠留在那里，蛤蟆一定會從洞里取出更多的寶貝來給她的。

Stories about snakes
There was once a little child whose mother gave her every afternoon a small bowl of milk and bread, and the child seated herself in the yard with it. When she began to eat however, a snake came creeping out of a crevice in the wall, dipped its little head in the dish, and ate with her. The child had pleasure in this, and when she was sitting there with her little dish and the snake did not come at once, she cried,
"Snake, snake, come swiftly
Hither come, thou tiny thing,
Thou shalt have thy crumbs of bread,
Thou shalt refresh thyself with milk."
Then the snake came in haste, and enjoyed its food. Moreover it showed gratitude, for it brought the child all kinds of pretty things from its hidden treasures, bright stones, pearls, and golden playthings. The snake, however, only drank the milk, and left the bread-crumbs alone. Then one day the child took its little spoon and struck the snake gently on its head with it, and said, "Eat the bread-crumbs as well, little thing." The mother, who was standing in the kitchen, heard the child talking to someone, and when she saw that she was striking a snake with her spoon, ran out with a log of wood, and killed the good little creature.
From that time forth, a change came over the child. As long as the snake had eaten with her, she had grown tall and strong, but now she lost her pretty rosy cheeks and wasted away. It was not long before the funeral bird began to cry in the night, and the redbreast to collect little branches and leaves for a funeral garland, and soon afterwards the child lay on her bier.
Second Story.
An orphan child was sitting on the town walls spinning, when she saw a snake coming out of a hole low down in the wall. Swiftly she spread out beside this one of the blue silk handkerchiefs which snakes have such a strong liking for, and which are the only things they will creep on. As soon as the snake saw it, it went back, then returned, bringing with it a small golden crown, laid it on the handkerchief, and then went away again. The girl took up the crown, it glittered and was of delicate golden filagree work. It was not long before the snake came back for the second time, but when it no longer saw the crown, it crept up to the wall, and in its grief smote its little head against it as long as it had strength to do so, until at last it lay there dead. If the girl had but left the crown where it was, the snake would certainly have brought still more of its treasures out of the hole.
Third Story.
A snake cries, "Huhu, huhu." A child says, "Come out." The snake comes out, then the child inquires about her little sister: "Hast thou not seen little Red-stockings?" The snake says, "No." - "Neither have I." - "Then I am like you. Huhu, huhu, huhu."
