One day the old cat saw(看見,see的過去式) a mouse(老鼠); she jumped and caught(抓住,catch過去式) the mouse.

老貓
一位老婦有隻貓,這隻貓很老,它跑不快了,也咬不了東西,因爲它年紀太大了。一天,老貓發現一隻老鼠,它跳過去抓這隻老鼠,然而,它咬不住這隻老鼠。因此,老鼠從它的嘴邊溜掉了,因爲老貓咬不了它。
於是,老婦很生氣,因爲老貓沒有把老鼠咬死。她開始打這隻貓,貓說:“不要打你的`老僕人,我已經爲你服務了很多年,而且還願意爲你效勞,但是,我實在太老了,對年紀大的不要這麼無情,要記住老年人在年青時所做過的有益的事情。”
