猫和小鸟
The Cat and the Birds
一只猫听说鸟舍里的鸟生病了，于是就把自己装扮成医生，拿着自己的手杖和工具箱去拜访他们。他一边敲门，一边假装用关切的语气询问鸟儿们的身体状况，说道：“如果你们生病了，我非常乐意治疗你们的病痛，为你们服务。”聪明的鸟儿们回答道：“我们现在都很好，只要你赶快离开这里，我们以后还会更好。”
要时刻谨记自己的敌人。
A Cat hearing that the Birds in a certain aviary were ailing dressed himself up as a physician，and，taking his cane and a bag of instruments becoming his profession，went to call on them. He knocked at the door and inquired of the inmates how they all did，saying that if they were ill，he would be happy to prescribe for them and cure them. They replied，“We are all very well，and shall continue so，if you will only be good enough to go away，and leave us as we are.”
