An old woman has an old cat. The cat can’t run quickly or bite (咬). The old woman doesn’t take the old cat out for a walk or give it good food. The old cat always lies under the chair and doesn’t want to move.

Suddenly the cat sees a mouse (老鼠) in the house. So it jumps and catches the mouse. But it can’t kill (杀死) the mouse because its teeth are bad. So the mouse runs away quickly. The old woman sees that and becomes angry. She begins to hit the cat and shouts, “Get out! Get out!” The cat doesn’t go away but says to the old woman “Don’t hit me. I have worked for you for many years. Now I still work for you. But I’m old and can’t kill the mouse like before. Don’t be rude (粗鲁的) to the old. Think about how much I did for you when I was young.”
