Children's stories before going to bed 1 Hua Tuo's clever plan to learn from teachers.

Hua Tuo was a famous doctor in the history of China, but his childhood was unfortunate. When Hua Tuo was seven years old, his father died and his family life became very poor. In desperation, Xiao Huatuo had to find Cai Langzhong in the city and asked to learn from his teacher in order to make a living in the future.

But Cai Langzhong didn't want to accept Hua Tuo as an apprentice. So he deliberately embarrassed him and asked him to put away the mulberry leaves on the top of the mulberry trees in his yard. Otherwise, he would never be accepted as an apprentice.

To Cai Langzhong's surprise, Xiao Huatuo just looked up at the mulberry tree, then stood under the tree and collected the mulberry leaves into his hands effortlessly. No way, Cai Langzhong had to accept his apprentice Hua Tuo as agreed in advance.

Children's story before going to bed 2 In the Woods at the foot of the mountain, there is a green meadow, and a small snail is taking a leisurely walk. Suddenly, he saw the soil in a place constantly being arched out, and soon, a small hole appeared.

A slender thing crawled out of the hole and crawled around. The little snail was startled and asked in horror, "Who are you?" How to live underground? "

"Hello, little snail! I am an earthworm, and we like to live in wet soil. " Earthworms greet the snail in a friendly way.

"Oh, it's Mr. Earthworm." The little snail is no longer afraid.

The earthworm twisted its body and said to the little snail, "It's so happy to be a snail. I can travel around in an RV every day, not afraid of the wind or the rain. " Earthworms' words are full of envy.

"It can be said that this is my RV and my home." The snail waved its tentacles and said, "But do you know what I usually do?"

Before the earthworm could speak, the little snail said, "On weekdays, I am measuring."

"What? Measure? " Earthworms are more curious.

"Yes, you see, I am more like a tape measure! How tall this banana grows and how wide its leaves are; How thick that big tree is ... I can figure it out. Then tell them and let them know how to grow better. " The little snail said, "shall I measure you and tell you your length?"

"Thank you, no need!" Earthworms decline rapidly. "But, look, you really like a tape measure. Keep working. I won't bother you. " After that, the earthworm turned and got into the soil again.

After saying goodbye to the earthworm, the little snail moved on and began to measure again. Look, he measures carefully! He measures slowly because he is afraid of making mistakes. And when measuring, the small snail will leave traces, sticky and white; The sun shines on it, shining like a beautiful poem.

Children's story before going to bed 3 In midsummer, flowers and fruits are everywhere. A monkey who went out to play found a big tree full of red flowers. The monkey thinks this is a big tree, and it will surely bear delicious fruit. It decided to keep other animals away and wait for the tree to bear delicious fruit.

It surrounds the big tree to keep other small animals away, and guards it under the tree. Afraid that other animals will compete with it for food.

Soon the tree will bear fruit. The surface of fruit is a hard shell. After the shell is cracked, there is white cotton wool inside. So this is a cotton tree.

The little monkey sat on the ground and began to cry: "Woo-woo-woo-"

An orangutan walked up to the crying monkey and said, "It's all because you didn't let everyone near, otherwise everyone would have told you where there was delicious fruit."

Because of the monkey's selfishness, his efforts were in vain, and the result was also in vain. He should always think of others and listen to advice.

After a while, Fu Jie's husband came back and wanted to cut bread. When he cut the first knife, deep red blood flowed out of the bread. The woman was very scared when she saw it, so she told her husband about her sister's request for bread. Her husband hurried to the widow's house to give her some charity. When he walked into the widow's house, she was praying, with two children in her arms and three older children lying dead in bed.

He gave her some food, but she replied, "I don't need human food anymore." God satisfied the appetite of my three children. He will certainly hear our prayers. " As she spoke, the two children died, so her heart was broken and she fell dead.

Seeing that A Duo Redo was tired and hungry, Mr. Mary invited her to a beautiful restaurant and took her around Paris.

At the top of the Eiffel Tower, Mr. Maris pointed out the famous scenic spots in Paris one by one.

They visited all the monuments and museums in Paris and saw many statues with wings.

Children's story before going to bed 6 There is a castle in the distance by the river, where a lovely little turtle lives. Daily life is extremely comfortable.

One day, the little turtle especially wanted to go to kindergarten. At dawn, the little turtle set off with his schoolbag on his back.

I don't know how long I left, but the little turtle finally came to the station. "no! Wait! " The little turtle stopped the bus that had started. The little turtle finally got on the bus. "flute, flute!" The bus arrived at the station. In order to save time, the little turtle huddled himself and rolled off the bus.

Unfortunately, when Little Turtle arrived at the kindergarten, the kindergarten had already finished school. Little turtle is so sad.

The next day, the little turtle got up earlier. "I won't be late today." The little turtle set off with confidence. On the way, the little turtle met the little rabbit: "Little turtle, you walk too slowly. Let me take you with me! " The little turtle is very happy: "thank you, little rabbit!" """Hello, teacher!" The elephant teacher smiled and said, "Good! Today, the rabbit won the first prize. Wow! There is also a little turtle. " The little turtle is very happy.

On the third day, the elephant teacher waited for the children at the intersection. "Hello, teacher!" "It turns out that the eagle and the tortoise tied for the first place today. Born slowly, the little turtle can win the first prize every day. Everyone is happy for it, and the little turtle is even happier.

The bedtime story is the story of Lu people in Zhou, Spring and Autumn Period. Very filial to parents. He grew up in a poor family and was very frugal. I often eat wild vegetables, which is very bad. Zhong You thinks it's okay for him to eat wild vegetables, but he is worried that his parents are not well nourished and are in poor health.

There is no rice at home, so he has to walk a hundred miles to buy rice and then carry it home to support his parents. Hundreds of miles away is a long way. Maybe someone can do it once or twice now. However, it is extremely difficult to do this all the year round. However, Zhong You was so happy. In order to let my parents eat, regardless of the cold wind or the scorching sun, they have to go hundreds of miles away to buy rice and then carry it home.

In winter, the weather is very cold, cold and snowy. Zhong You stepped on the ice on the river and walked forward step by step through the goose feather snow. My feet were frozen, and my hand holding the rice bag was really cold, so I stopped, put it to my mouth to warm up, and then continued on my way.

In summer, when the sun is hot and sweaty, Zhong You won't stop to have a rest, just to go home early and prepare food for his parents. When it rains heavily, Zhong You hides the rice bag in his clothes, preferring to get wet rather than let the heavy rain hit the rice bag; This is especially true when it is windy.

It is extremely difficult to work so hard and persist.

Later, Zhong You's parents died, and he went south to Chu. The king of Chu hired him as an official and gave him very generous treatment. There are hundreds of carriages following you as soon as you go out, and you get a lot of salary every year. The food we eat is very rich, and every day is full of delicious food. Live a rich life.

However, he did not feel happy because of good material conditions, but often lamented. Because his parents are gone. How much he wished his parents could live a good life with him, but his parents were gone, and even if he wanted to support his parents who were hundreds of miles away, it would never be possible.

Filial piety is not measured by material things, but your sincere respect for your parents. There is no distinction between filial piety and nobility, from the emperor to the people. As long as you have filial piety, you can bend down and do your best under any circumstances, no matter how hard it is.

The time we can be filial to our parents and adoptive parents is decreasing. If you can't be filial in time, you will only regret for life. If you can't grasp the time to accompany your parents and take care of them, it will be too late when you want to repay your kindness. I hope that when my parents are alive, I will be filial in time. Don't wait until I regret it to think of my relatives and feel sorry for them.

Children's story 8 before going to bed has spread from one story to ten, from ten to one hundred, from one hundred to one thousand, from one thousand to ten thousand ... Although there is no newspaper or broadcast, Xiao Weiwei suddenly became a "celebrity" known throughout the city today.

Alas, trees have roots and everything happens for a reason. Starting with his father.

Yesterday, Xiao Weiwei came home from school and saw his father sitting on the sofa. He didn't even have time to put down his schoolbag. He put his arm around his father's neck and said, "Dad, what good things do you have for me when you come back from this business trip?"

"hey!" Dad pointed to the lead bucket.

Yo, there's a little turtle in the lead bucket, crawling there. Xiao Weiwei was happy from ear to ear. He stretched out his little hand to catch the tortoise. Just as he reached into the lead bucket, he shrank back like lightning.

"Dad, can a turtle bite?"

"Well, it will bite." "What if my finger is bitten by it?" "At that time, you must not pull it, dump it or hit it. You have to put it gently on the ground. As soon as it hits the ground, your mouth will loosen and let go of your fingers. "

"If you put it on the ground, won't it let go?" "Knock gong!" Bang, bang, it's scared. It'll let go. "

"Knocking gongs is not enough?" "set off firecrackers!" Xiao Weiwei firmly remembered her father's words.

Today, when Xiao Weiwei and her classmate Xiao Dingding came home by bus, suddenly Xiao Weiwei cried, "Uncle driver, stop the car quickly!" Stop the car, please! "

"What is it?"

"The tortoise bit my finger!"

As it happens, the bus stopped. As soon as the door opened, Xiao Weiwei jumped out of the car first. Whether the sidewalk was dirty or not, he lay down and pressed his right index finger on the ground.

Gee, the tortoise landed and bit Xiao Weiwei's right index finger.

"Knock gong!" Xiao Weiwei looked up and said to Xiao.

Where can I borrow a gong at this time? Fortunately, a kind aunt brought a steel washbasin from home, and I knocked.

This knock attracted many spectators and surrounded Xiao Weiwei.

"Well, it's not enough just to knock on the washbasin. The tortoise won't let go, and Wei, who is in pain, has her fingers connected!

"set off firecrackers!" Xiao Weiwei remembered her father's words and shouted.

Thanks to a kind uncle, he brought a string of firecrackers from home and put them away.

This release attracted more people to watch the fun, Xiao Weiwei on the third floor, outside the third floor. Many cyclists jumped down to watch the fun. After a while, even the car couldn't move, and the traffic was blocked! The firecrackers rang, but the tortoise still wouldn't let go.

At this time, Xiao Weiwei was in pain, anxiety, shame and sweating profusely. Somehow, he said to himself, "This is my fault. I shouldn't draw a turtle on Tintin's back! " "

It's strange that Xiao Weiwei immediately let go of the tortoise.

The tortoise crawled on the sidewalk, and onlookers watched from behind. Even the people's police can't take away the bystanders. Yes, the tortoise is really strange: it is flat and close to the ground. It is just a hollow circle with four legs, a head and a tail outside. Oh, it's a turtle drawn with chalk-what a strange white turtle!

It turns out that when I was on the bus just now, Xiao Weiwei quietly drew a turtle on Dingding's back with chalk. Just finished painting, the right index finger was bitten by a turtle. ...

The white turtle, along the sidewalk, climbed into the sewer and disappeared. The news spread to ten, hundreds, thousands, thousands ... Although there were no newspapers and no broadcasts, Xiao Weiwei suddenly became a "celebrity" known throughout the city.

A fall into the pit, a gain in your wit. From then on, Xiao Weiwei never dared to scribble on her classmates' backs, and certainly didn't dare to scribble on tables and walls.

There are so many cars on the road before going to bed! There are buses, cars, trucks, vans and sprinklers. ...

Qiqi also has his own car, hee hee, which Qiqi drew on paper himself.

If you have a car, someone has to drive it. Qiqi drew a little boy in the cab of the car. The little boy turned the steering wheel and the car called Didi Didi, but he couldn't walk a step.

What's going on here? It turns out that Qiqi's wheels are not round at all. No wonder the car can't walk.

Finch picked up a pen and changed the wheels of the car over and over again. The wheels became round. "Tick-tock …" The car moved forward slowly.

But the car didn't drive far, so it overturned. The little boy inside fell out. He sat on the ground, rubbing his skinned knee, and looked like he was about to cry.

Qiqi quickly drew a doctor in a white coat. The doctor bandaged the little boy's wound and said, "This car can't be driven. Its four wheels are not as big as usual. "

Qiqi heard this and thought, Shit! No wonder the car overturned.

"Knock, knock!" Qiqi ran to get a ruler. He used it to measure the wheels of a car and changed the smallest wheel to be as big as the other three wheels.

Now the little boy is driving the car, and the car turns around the paper steadily, once, twice and three times. ...

Oh, dear! There are too many circles in the car, and the little boy feels dizzy and wants to get off. But he can't brake. What can we do?

Qiqi thought about it and drew a big man on the paper. He wanted the big man to help him brake. But this big man looks really strange, thin and long, like a monster!

In fact, the big man is a monster. He stretched out his long finger and tried to take the car away. He also smiled and said that he would take the little boy driving.

Qiqi has a quick reaction. He drew a pair of wings on both sides of the car in a few strokes. Then he shouted at the doctor, "Jump in!" "

The car flew with the doctor and the little boy, but the monster caught nothing. He shouted "whoa, whoa, whoa" in anger, looking ridiculous!

"Luo Luo ..." Qiqi smiled happily. At this time, he opened his eyes and found himself lying in bed, surrounded by darkness.

Qiqi thought about it and understood: it turned out that he had just had a dream.

Children's stories before going to bed 10 Dog Detective Yidou is a responsible detective. As long as the case in his hand is passed, it will be solved. This time, dog detective Yidou received a difficult case.

It turned out that the lion and the tiger found the elephant's body at the same time, and they accused each other of killing the elephant. According to the forest law, killing elephants is punishable by imprisonment. Tigers and lions are both kings of the forest. How did they end up in prison And being accused of killing elephants, that is, being enemies with the whole elephant family, is not a good thing.

In desperation, in order to clear the suspicion, the lion and the tiger thought of the dog detective Douding.

Two lions and tigers would never do such a thing.

At first, it was determined that the elephant ate it and died.

The dog detective cleared the lion and the tiger of suspicion and was rewarded by the two kings.

Children's stories before going to bed 12 loyal dogs

Once upon a time, a businessman went to Wuhu to do business and made a fortune. On this day, the businessman rented a boat, full of goods, ready to go home by boat.

Before boarding the boat, the businessman saw a dog tied to the door of a hotel, and the owner was about to kill the dog. The merchant went to see the shopkeeper and said to the shopkeeper, "sell me this dog." It's pitiful to see tears in its eyes. "

Seeing that he gave a lot of money, the shopkeeper sold the dog to a businessman. The merchant got on the boat with the dog.

I didn't know the shipowner was a habitual thief. When he saw that the businessman's bag was bulging, he thought that he must be a rich man, and he couldn't help feeling evil. When the boat reached the middle of the river, the owner raised the paddle, knocked it unconscious, and pushed it into the river while the merchant was unprepared.

As soon as the dog saw his master fall into the water, he screamed and jumped into the water, grabbed his master's clothes with his mouth, floated for miles in the waves, and finally dragged his master to the shallows by the river.

The dog swam out of the water and ran to a crowded place, barking. People were surprised, so they followed the dog and saw the comatose businessman. Everyone quickly helped to rescue the businessman. When the businessman woke up, he told the whole story. Everyone is sympathetic and willing to help him.

The merchant decided to go back to the owner, and asked everyone to help him send him back to Wuhu by boat, waiting for the stolen ship to return to the shore. Those people agreed, so they took him to a pier where the ship had to pass. When the businessman arrived at the dock, he found that the dog had disappeared for some time.

Without looking for a dog, the merchant went to the merchant ship moored by the river to find the ship he had been on.

It has been three or four days since the merchant ships arrived at the dock, and there are too many ships carrying goods. At first glance, the mast of a merchant ship looks like a vast forest. Finding that ship among so many ships is as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack.

The merchant looked helplessly at one ship after another. He was dizzy, but he still couldn't find the ship he was looking for. In desperation, I had to admit that I was unlucky and decided to go home. At this moment, I suddenly heard a dog barking. The dog ran back, looked at its owner and roared loudly. The merchant called it, but it was gone. The businessman followed the dog to find the answer. I saw the dog suddenly rush into a boat, biting a man's pants and saying nothing.

The businessman rushed over and tried to stop him from hurting people, but the dog wouldn't let go. He looked up and found that the man who was bitten was the master who murdered himself.

The owner of the boat completely changed his clothes, changed his clothes and changed his boat. It would have been difficult to recognize it if it hadn't been recognized by the dog. The merchant called several people, bound the owner's hands and feet, searched his boat carefully and found that all the stolen property was still there!

The dog just wagged its tail and left its owner.

Dear baby, do you like dogs? Let's read a nursery rhyme:

Minibus, ring the bell and go to the assembly. I want to eat peaches, which are hairy. I want to eat apricots, but I'm afraid of acid. I like to eat plums and round noodles, and I like to eat crisp and fragrant dates.

Children's stories before going to bed 13 Once upon a time, there was a kingdom of hair, in which people left their hair. The king has a beautiful and kind daughter. One day, the princess's birthday arrived. The king ordered that everyone could come to the dance.

The dance began, and all the people walked into this luxurious hall and danced with the wonderful music. At this time, a fierce witch turned into a handsome prince, came to the princess and pretended to ask her to dance. The beautiful princess was moved by the handsome prince and couldn't help holding his hand and began to dance. But after a dance, when the princess went to her room to change clothes, she found herself very ugly. She began to cry sadly. The king came in and asked; "Who are you? Get out. " "I am your daughter!" "My daughter is born beautiful and kind, and you are so ugly. Let's go. " The princess had to leave, but the king felt sorry for her and gave her some bread and some money. The princess left her father with a sad heart. From then on, the witch became a princess. It suddenly occurred to her: Isn't there a magic queen in the magic fairy city? Maybe she can make me back to the way I was.

Just out of the palace, the princess found a lovely bird hurt. The princess couldn't bear to see the bird hurt, so she tore off a small piece of cloth from her skirt and wrapped it up for the bird. The princess said to the bird again; "Sorry, I have to run, goodbye!" Walking, she saw a little boy picking flowers again and quickly stepped forward to stop it. This time, she saved Xiaohua's life. She continued on her way. On the way, she saw an old woman and a little girl begging. So she gave them all her bread and money. Grandma repeatedly said; "Thank you, thank you!" In this trip, the princess helped many people. Finally, it was almost the magic fairy city, but just then, the witch appeared and said to the princess, "You can't go." Well, the princess can't help it. Suddenly, many people came to help her, such as birds, flowers, grandmothers and little girls. I saw the witch raise her wand and read a spell to the princess. When the bird saw it, it quickly flew to the princess. As a result, the bird became a big tree. The witch raised her wand and said a spell to the princess. Xiaohua saw it and ran to the princess. It turned into wood. When the witch saw it, her head was smoking with anger. She raised her wand again and said a spell. This time, she intends to curse the princess to death, but her magic is running out and she can only be in a coma for a while. As soon as the grandmother and the little girl met, they quickly came to the princess and said; "Let's go." Said the princess. "Friends, I'll save you later. Say that finish, the princess flew into the magic fairy city. The queen saw it and said you were Rapunzel! I saw it all in the fairy mirror. " So the queen changed her back to the original appearance. She also rescued her friend and sent the princess home.

Since then, the witch has been eliminated and the princess has lived a happy life!

Children's stories before going to bed 14 One morning, piggy was taking a bath in the river when he suddenly heard "Glug!" Under the stone bridge behind him. A loud noise scared it to run forward quickly, shouting: "The splash is terrible, run for your life!" " "

Hearing this, the weasel quickly ran with the pig and shouted, "The splash is terrible. Let's run for our lives! " "

The lamb grazing by the river saw the pig and the weasel running desperately behind. Without asking anything, they ran forward and shouted, "It's terrible to splash. Run for your life ..."

The dog walking by the river heard the cry of "Knock, knock, run for your lives" coming from the lower reaches of the river. Before the pig, weasel and lamb ran to the edge, they ran forward desperately, shouting, "Dong, everybody run!" "

After a while, kittens, squirrels and rabbits unconsciously got up with the running team and shouted as they ran.

When they are out of breath and exhausted. Uncle Niu was lying on the grass by the river and asked, "What is the splash like? Did you see it clearly? "

The lead dog said, "I didn't see it, but it came." Uncle Niu, run for your life! " "

Uncle Niu smiled and said, "Don't worry. This river is very safe. There has never been a terrorist incident. "

They all stopped. The rabbit asked the squirrel, "What do you feel when you see the spray?"

The little squirrel shook his head and turned to ask the kitten, "Did you see it?" The kitten shook her head.

The kitten asked the lamb, and the lamb said, "I don't see anything." It asks the weasel, "What do you see?"

The weasel asks the pig, "What do you see?"

Pi Jie said, "I don't know what it is, but I heard a bang and I was scared."

Uncle Niu shook his head and said, "Come with me and see what it looks like."

They followed Uncle Niu in the direction of the bridge and didn't see anything terrible along the way.

When they came to the bridge, they saw several children standing on the bridge, throwing stones into the water under the bridge and making the sound of "Knock, Knock, Knock …". They smiled shyly when they saw the children throwing stones.

Uncle Niu said seriously, "If your eyes are not good-looking, don't ask when you open your mouth. If you open your mouth, don't think wrong, and you will be fooled."

Children's bedtime stories 15 Alex asked his sweetheart, "So, you won't marry me?"

"Yes, my husband must be brave and resourceful."

"But don't forget, I saved you the last time you fell into the water!"

"You are really brave, but that doesn't mean you are resourceful."

"Well, do you know who capsized the boat?"

Great wisdom: there is no contradiction between wisdom and courage, but if courage is not supported by wisdom, it can only be a reckless man who puts all his eggs in one basket.
