老猫 The Old Cat
An old woman had a cat. The cat was very old；she could not run quickly, and she could not bite, because she was so old.One day the old cat saw a mouse；she jumped and caught the mouse. But she could not bite it；so the mouse got out of her mouth and ran away.
一位老妇有只猫，这只猫很老，它跑不快了，也咬不了东西，因为它年纪太大了。一天，老猫发现一只老鼠，它跳过去抓这只老鼠，然而，它咬不了这只老鼠。因此，老鼠从它的嘴边溜掉了。
Then the old woman became very angry because the cat had not killed the mouse. She began to hit the cat. The cat said, “Do not hit your old servant. I have worked for you for many years, and I would work for you still, but I am too old. Do not be unkind to the old, but remember what good work the old did when they were young.”
于是，老妇很生气，因为老猫没有把老鼠咬死。她开始打这只猫，猫说：“不要打你的老仆人，我已经为你服务了很多年，而且还愿意为你效劳，但是，我实在太老了，对年纪大的不要这么无情，要记住老人在年轻时所做过的有益的事情。”
