Being Bilingual

When a new home-owner moved into an old house with her cat, she discovered a hole in the wall of the house, in which lived a mouse. Every day her cat would chase the mouse but he couldn’t catch it, and the mouse would laugh at him. One day, the cat just sat and waited outside of the mouse hole. The mouse was very scared because he could hear the cat outside of the hole, meowing. The cat just sat there and continued to meow.

Eventually, the meowing stopped and all the mouse could hear was ruff, ruff, ruff. The mouse now thinking that he had been saved, joyfully ran out of his hole; and the cat pounced on him and gobbled him up. And as the cat walked away smiling from ear to ear, he said to himself, “It pays to be bilingual.”
