You Should Know Foreing Languages
Once upon a time, there was a mouse in a mouse-hole. One day it sat up and listened attentively, and as it did so it heard same one bark…
“Now,” thought the mouse,” that’ll be a dog. I might as well go out. I don’t think dogs eat mice.”
That was sound logic. And the mouse went out. However the moment it did so, a cat pounced on it and ate it (for it was a cat that had barked).
Presently, the cat felt its mouth water as it thought about the dilicious morsel and said to itself:
“There’s no doubt that it’s worth while learning foreign languages!”
應該會一門外語
從前,老鼠洞里住著一只老鼠。一天,他坐在洞口仔細聆聽,聽到有什么東西在吠叫。
“現在”老鼠心想,“有只狗。我或許能出去了。我想狗是不吃老鼠的。”
這話聽起來很有邏輯,于是老鼠出洞去了。然而它剛剛出現在洞口時,便被一只大花貓逮了個正著(因為剛剛是貓在學狗叫)。
現在,大花貓只要一想起那頓豐盛的美食就直流口水,學習一門外語是非常有價值的!”
