篇⼀：The Old Cat

The Old Cat 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."

⽼猫⼀位⽼妇有只猫，这只猫很⽼，它跑不快了，也咬不了东西，因为它年纪太⼤了。⼀天，⽼猫发现⼀只⽼⿏，它跳过去抓这只⽼⿏，然⽽，它咬不住这只⽼⿏。因此，⽼⿏从它的嘴边溜掉了，因为⽼猫咬不了它。于是，⽼妇很⽣⽓，因为⽼猫没有把⽼⿏咬死。她开始打这只猫，猫说：“不要打你的⽼仆⼈，我已经为你服务了很多年，⽽且还愿意为你效劳，但是，我实在太⽼了，对年纪⼤的不要这么⽆情，要记住⽼年⼈在年青时所做过的有益的事情。”

There was once a person a day to steal a chicken house next door. Some people advised him, said: "This thing is not that there were moral acts." That slip of them said: "Well, allow me to reduce a little each month to steal a chicken, wait until the next year stopped. "
