[10-26]寓言故事:咬不住老鼠的老猫
[size=5] An old woman had a cat. The cat was very old; she could not run quickly, and she could not bite, because she was so old. One day the old cat saw a mouse; she jumped and caught the mouse. But she could not bite it; so the mouse got out of her mouth and ran away, because the cat could not bite it.[/size][size=5][/size]
