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, because the cat could not bite it。
   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。
  " 意思就是：老猫 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，它咬不住这只老鼠。因此，老鼠从它的嘴边溜掉了，因为老猫咬不了它。 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，要记住老年人在年青时所做过的有益的事情。” 这算是一篇讲理的文章吧。我的作业上也碰到过。还是挺简单的。

  在中国，人们相信在很久以前猫和老虎是好朋友，而且猫比老虎聪明的多。猫学习动作技巧很快，老虎却总是落后。渐渐的，老虎不得不向猫学习了，猫也很有耐心的教老虎。日复一日，月复一月，老虎终于也可以像猫一样，跑，跳，打滚，扑抓，撕咬，击打Onesummerafternoon,thecatwastakinganapasthetigersittingnearby。

  一个夏天的下午，猫在打盹，老虎在边上坐着。老虎看着猫，忽然想到，既然自己已经学会了猫的所有本领，为什么还要和这么小的动物一直做朋友呢？邪恶的老虎决定杀死熟睡中的猫，当作晚餐前的点心。老虎站起来，邪恶的一步步靠近猫。就在这时，猫醒来了。聪明的她睁开眼睛立刻意识到老虎要干什么，于是立刻灵活的跳到了附近的大树上，爬到树顶。
