137. The Cat And The Mice

A certain house was overrun with Mice. A Cat discovering this, made her way into it, and began to catch and eat them one by one. The Mice being continually devoured, kept themselves close in their holes. The Cat, no longer able to get at them
, perceived that she must tempt them forth by some device. For this purpose she jumped upon a peg, and suspending herself from it, pretended to be dead. One of the Mice, peeping stealthily out, saw her, and said, "Ah,
my good madam, even though you should turn into a meal-bag, we will not come near you."
137. 猫和老鼠
有一栋房子被老鼠所盘据。 一只猫发现了这只老鼠于是便走进房屋,动手捉捕老鼠,并尽情地吞食。 许多老鼠们怕被吃掉,只好静静的躲在洞里。 猫再也没捉到老鼠,于是它明白一定得用诡计来引诱它们出来。 因此它跳到一个木钉上,使自己从钉上垂挂下来,假装死了。 有一只老鼠偷偷地向外窥视,看见了它,便说:「唉,我的好奶奶,即使你变成了一袋玉米粉,我们也不会亲近你的。」
