编辑点评: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。于是,老妇很生气,她开始打这只猫,猫说:“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。”

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."
