A mother mouse was out for a stroll with her babies when she spotted¹ a cat crouched² behind a bush. She watched the cat, and the cat watched the mice.

老鼠妈妈带着孩子们出来散步，突然她看见一只猫正站在灌木丛中对着她们虎视耽耽。

Mother mouse barked fiercely, "Woof, woof, woof!" The cat was so terrified that it ran for it's life.

老鼠妈妈向着猫凶猛地吠叫：“汪，汪，汪”，猫听了感到非常害怕，拼命跑走了。

Mother mouse turned to her babies and said, "Now, do you understand the value of a second language?"

老鼠妈妈回过头对孩子们说：“你们看吧，学会一门外语是多么重要啊。”
