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."

这时,老太太变得非常生气,因为猫还没有被杀死了那只老鼠。她开始打这只猫。这只猫说:“不要打你的老仆人。我曾为你多年,我仍然为你工作,但是我太老了。不要不仁慈的老,但要记住什么好工作的老的时候,他们很年轻。”
