　　One day a lady saw a mouse running across her kitchen (厨房)floor. She was very afraid of mice, so she went out of the house, got in a bus and went down to a shop. There she bought a mouse-trap(鼠夹). The shopkeeper said to her, “Put some cheese in it, and you will soon catch that mouse. ”

　　The lady went home with her mouse-trap, but when she looked in her cupboard (碗碟橱) , she could not find any cheese. She did not want to go back to the shop, because it was very late, so she cut a picture of some cheese out of a magazine (杂志)and put that in the trap.
