A man has a cat. He likes her very much. At mealtime the cat
sits at the table with him. The man eats with a knife and a fork, but the cat
eats from her plate. Sometimes, when the cat finishes her dish, the man will
give her a bit of his food. He shares his meal with her. One day the cat
is not at the table at mealtime.
"Ah! Where is my cat?" asks the man.
His wife says, "Can't you eat without her?"
So the meal begins without the cat. Before lunch is over, the
cat rushes into the room and jumps onto the chair quickly. She has two mice in
her mouth, and before anyone can stop her, she drops(扔下)one into her own
plate, and the other into her master's plate.
"Dear me!" cries the woman. "A mouse is in
your plate!"
"Hush (安静)!"says her husband. "This shows that she is a nice cat. She
knows what friendship is. She wishes me to share her dinner as I often share mine
with her. I am not so unhappy."
