The cat and the Mice



A house was infested with mice.A cat discovered this,went there

and caught them one after the other and ate them.The mice,seeing

themselves continually being caught,were forced back to their

holes.Not wanting to wait endlessly for them to come out,the cat

thought of a ruse to tempt them out.He climbed up on to a wooden

peg and hung there,pretending to be dead.But one of the

mice,poking his head out to have a look around,saw him and said:

'Hey,friend!Even if you're going to hang there prending to be a

sack,I'm cetainly not going to come near you!'



The fable shows that senible men,when they have put to the test

the wickedness of certain people,are no longer taken in by their

falseness.



某幢房子里经常有老鼠出没,一只猫发现这个情况后.便到那儿把他们一一逮来吃了.眼见同类接连被猫逮走,剩下的老鼠只得躲回洞里藏身.老鼠总不出来,猫等得不耐烦了,就想了一个引鼠出洞的计谋.他爬上屋梁,抓住木钩吊在半空装死.此时,一只老鼠从洞里探出头来四处张望,看见了猫,说道:"喂,朋友!即使你装成袋子模样一直待悬挂在那儿,我也决不会向你靠拢半步."



本则寓言意谓:智者一旦受人欺蒙,任凭对方甘言巧辞,休望诱其再度入毂.
