The Fox and the Cat狐狸故事内容:
Once upon a time, the cat met the fox in the forest. She thought:“He is intelligent and clever, and is famous in the world,”so she spoke to him in a friendly way, “Good morning, Mr. Fox. How are you? How are you getting by in the hard times?”
The fox, filled with pride, looked at the cat from head to feet, and for a long time did not answer. At last he said, “Oh, you poor mouse hunter, What do you know? Have you the nerve to ask how I am doing? How many tricks do you understand?”
“I understand but one,”answered the cat.
“What trick is it?”asked the fox.
“When the dogs are chasing me, I can jump onto a tree and save myself.”
“Is that all?”said the fox.“I am master of a hundred tricks, and I have a bag of cunning. I feel sorry for you. Come with me, and I will teach you how to run from the dogs.”
Just then a hunter came by with four dogs. The cat jumped quickly on a tree, and sat down at its top, where the leaves covered her.
“Untie your bag, Mr. Fox, untie your bag,”the cat shouted, but the dogs had already caught the fox.
“Oh, Mr. Fox,”shouted the cat. “You and your hundred tricks are useless. If you could climb like me, you would save your life.”
