THE CAT AND THE BIRDS

A Cat heard that the Birds in an aviary were ailing. So he got himself up as a doctor, and, taking with him a set of the instruments proper to his profession, presented himself at the door, and inquired after the health of the Birds. “We shall do very well,” they replied, without letting him in, “when we've seen the last of you.”

猫和鸟

有一只猫听说有一伙群居的鸟生病了。于是他乔装打扮成医生，带着一些能证明自己身份的工具，出现在鸟的居所的门前，询问鸟儿们的健康情况。鸟儿们没有让他进门，他们说：“我们会好起来的，只要你不出现。”
