【正文】 Keep in mind that tomorrow is a new day.6. Once upon a Time…Once upon a time, there were a proud house cat and a clever mouse. The cat was called Tom and the mouse (was called) Terry.The master of the house was very kind and generous to Tom. He gave him three good meals a day for his effort in driving the mouse away. Tom worked hard. He was truly diligent and tried his very best to catch Terry but he never succeeded. Every time he got close to Terry, Terry would make a quick turn and leave Tom far behind once again.The game between Tom and Terry went on for some time. Christmas was ing and the children in the house would receive presents. Tom, of course, expected to receive something from his master. He was a shrewd cat so he made up his mind to do something to please his master before Christmas.Tom sent for his brother to help him drive the mouse out of the house. They worked well together and Terry disappeared. Tom was now very proud of himself. To his amazement, his master had no intention of giving him a Christmas bonus. In fact, Tom’s meals became worse and worse because the master found there was no need to keep a cat if there were no mice.Tom was a sensitive cat and felt very sad. He then realized how important Terry was to him and he begged him to return. The master was shocked to see the mouse again. Suddenly Tom’s meals began to improve.From then on, Tom just pretended to work hard. Sometimes he shared his meals with Terry. And they lived happily ever after.Writing and Translation2.
