The Old Cat
鳖甲煎丸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."

关于猫咪的故事
Cats are the most popular pets among Americans. So it is not surprising that there are many expressions about cats.
Some cats like to catch small birds, like canaries. If someone looks very proud or satisfied with himself, we say he “looks like the cat that ate the canary.”
Sometimes, a cat likes to play with a small animal it catches. So if you “play cat and mouse” with someone, you change between dif ferent kinds of behavior when dealing with another person. For example, a child might offer something sweet to her little brother and then take it away when he reaches
for it.
A cat will often catch a small animal and present it to its owner. The sayin g that “looks like something
the cat dragged in” describes something in bad condition.
Two old and funny expressions describe something that is the best or finest. Americans might say that something is “the cat’s meow” and “the cat’s pajamas.”
Chil dren might call a child who is easily frightened a “fraidy-cat” or a “scaredy-cat.”
A “copycat” is someone who acts just like someone else or copies another person's work.
A “fat cat” is a person with a lot of money.
You may have known that cats spend most of their time sleeping. Sometimes people sleep for a short time during the day. This is called a “cat nap.”
If you tell about something that was supposed to be a secret, we say you “let the cat out of the bag.” If you are not able to speak or answer a question someone might ask if “the cat has got your tongue.”
工作方向Have you ever watched children in a classroom when their teacher leaves
for a few minutes? “When the cat’s away, the mice will play” means people sometimes misbehave when there is no supervision.
You may have heard this expression: “curiosity killed the cat.” This means being too concerned about things that are not your business might cause problems.
If your home is very small, you might say “there is not enough room to
sw ing a cat.” But you probably should not try this at home!
If you ever had cats as pets, you know it is difficult to train them or to get them to do something. Cats are not like sheep or cows that can be moved in a group. So we say a difficult or imposs ible job “is like herding cats.”
We leave you with a song from the musical play "Cats."
