Once there was a black and white cat.He was named Tom.One day he was asleep under a tree in the forest.Suddenly he was awakened by the song of a bird.Then he felt very hungry.He wanted to have something good to eat.
He looked around.He looked up at the blue sky and looked down at the green grass.Something was moving in the tree.It was a sparrow(麻雀).
He talked to the sparrow and asked it to be friends with him.When it came near,he caught the sparrow.He was going to eat it.The sparrow said,“No gentleman eats his dinner till he has washed his face.”
The cat was surprised to hear that.He began to wash his face with his paw,and the sparrow flew away.
The cat was sorry to lose his dinner and said,“As long as I live,I will eat first and wash my face afterward.”
