       There were many mice(老鼠) in Jack's house. They ran about all over the house at night. In the day,

they were back to their homes.

       "I need a good cat," thought Jack. He knew a man who had cats, so Jack went to see him. 

       "Do you have a cat that is good for the mice?" Jack asked the man.

       "Well, yes, I have such a cat," answered the man.

       "I'll take it," said Jack. He paid for the cat and took it home.

       A week later, Jack went back to the man with the cat in his hand. "My house has more mice now than before," Jack said angrily. "The cat you sold me doesn't want to catch them at all. But you said it was good for the mice." "That's right," said the man. "It is good for the mice. Come to think about it - it is good for
