A Joke
Two mice sat in their hole watching Cat lurk(潜伏) outside. "I know how to make Cat go away," said the first mouse. "How?" the second mouse asked in surprise.
“Watch! Wow, wow!!!(汪汪汪）” barked the first mouse. Peering (仔细瞧)through their hole in the wall, they saw Cat running away in fear.
“Ah, see the benefit(益处) of knowing another language!"
