One day, an old cat decides to play a trick on (决定作弄) the mice (老鼠复数). He lies on his back (仰躺) and doesn't not move at all (一点都不动). A small mouse (老鼠) can see the old cat lying on the ground (躺在地上). She runs to her friends and says, "The cat is dead (死). Let's dance and play.
All the mice begin to dance and play. They are very happy. Then one of the mice jumps on the cat's head.
"Look at me. Come nearer, all of you. The bad cat is dead. Let us dance on his head." But suddenly (突然) the cat jumps up and catches (捉住) the foolish mouse. The other mice run away.
From that, mice never believe (从不相信) a cat.
