Once upon a time, there was a very young mouse who had never seen anything of the world. He almost got into trouble the very first time he went out. This is the s he told his mother about his adventures.

     “I was walking along very quietly when I saw two strange creatures（生物）. One of them had a very kind look, but the other was the most frightening monster you could i 

     “On top of his head and in front of his neck, there were pieces of red meat. The moment he saw me, he o his mouth as if he wanted to swallow me. Then he let out a roar that frightened me almost to death.”

     “I wanted to make friends with the pretty creature because it looked sgood and gentle. He had thick and smooth fur and a gentle face. His eyes were bright and shining. As he looked at me, he w his fine long tail and smiled.

     “My son,” said the mother mouse, “that gentle creature you saw was the cat. In fact the cat eats us. Under his kappearance, he was against every one of us. The other was nothing but a cock who wouldn't be h to you at all. So you're lucky, my child. ”
