一所房子裏鼠多為患。貓知道了這個情況後，便去了那所房子裏，吃掉了一隻又一隻老鼠。老鼠們損失慘重，為了避免全軍覆沒，老鼠們紛紛躲藏在洞裏，輕易不會出來。這樣，貓就沒辦法捉到他們了。貓想來想去，隻得用計謀把老鼠誘騙出來，於是，她找到一個掛鉤，吊在上麵裝死。其中一隻老鼠小心翼翼地探出頭向外張望，看到貓的樣子，說道： “嗨，親愛的貓夫人，您還是不要白費心機了。即使您完全變成一隻飯袋，我們也是不會靠近你的。 ”
吃一塹長一智。

The o lo at them a she must tempt them forth by some device. For this purpose she jumped upon a peg，and suspending herself from it，preteo be dead. Ohe Mig stealthily out，saw her and said，“Ah，my good madam， even though you should turn into a meal-bag，we will not e near you.”
He who is once deceived is doubly cautious.
