There was once a young mouse that lived in a hole in a
wall. One day, the young mouse woke up from his sleep and looked out of the
hole. As he looked out, a fantastic smell came to his nose. “Cheese!” the mouse
said happily to himself. “I’ll go and get it now and have it for breakfast.”
But then he remembered his parents’ words. His parents
were very clever mice and often said to their son, “Always wait before you go
for a piece of cheese.”
So the young mouse waited quietly. Then he heard a
quiet “Miaow” and he knew the cat was there. He stayed in the hole and said to
himself, “I’m glad I listened to my parents and learned to wait.”
The next day, he looked out again. He put his nose out
of the hole, and the beautiful smell of cheese came to his nose again. He could
see the cheese. It was only a few centimetres away. But he sat still and waited
quietly. This time he did not hear any cat’s noise. Instead he heard a very
quiet “Woof, woof.”
“It’s a dog!” he thought. “If the dog is there, the
cat won’t be there. I expect the dog has chased the cat away, so I’m safe.” The
mouse ran out of the hole and started eating the cheese. He did not see the
cat, which caught him and ate him.
When the cat finished her meal, she said to herself,
“I’m glad I listened to my parents and learned a second language.”
