One day I was sitting in a chair drinking a cup of tea.
My cat came into the room and sat on my lap.
She was quite content, and she sat there purring.
My cat likes to drink water, and sometimes she drinks milk.
I would never give her tea to drink.
Cats just don’t drink tea.
We were sitting there quietly when suddenly my cat stood up.
She was looking at something on the floor.
She crouched down low and got ready to pounce.
It was a huge centipede.
I think that centipedes are ugly.
They have many legs, and they move very fast.
I would hate to have one crawl over me.
I was surprised that she caught the centipede.
She put her paw on it, and then she reached down and ate the centipede.
The centipede must not have tasted very good.
My cat got a funny look on her face, and she looked like she was trying to get a bad taste out of her mouth.
I was thinking that I would be sick if I ate a centipede.
My cat looked at me and jumped back up in my chair.
She stuck her face in my teacup and took a big drink of tea.
I was shocked.
I had never seen a cat drink tea before.
I think that the centipede must have tasted so bad that my cat just needed something to wash the taste out of her mouth
Guess what?
I didn’t finish my tea.
I threw it out and washed out the cup.
My cat has never had a drink of tea since that day.
She has also never eaten another centipede.
If a centipede walks by, she just pretends that she doesn’t see it.
有一天,我坐在椅子上喝茶。我的猫走进房间,坐在我的腿上。它非常满足,在那里发出咕噜声。我的猫喜欢喝水,有时它喝牛奶。我永远不会给它喝茶。猫不喝茶。我们静静地坐在那里,突然我的猫站了起来。它正在看着地板上的东西。它低着身子,准备猛扑。那是一只巨大的蜈蚣。我认为蜈蚣很丑陋。它们有很多腿,而且移动速度非常快。我讨厌有东西爬到我身上。我很惊讶它抓住了蜈蚣。它把爪子放在上面,然后俯下身子吃了蜈蚣。蜈蚣的味道一定不太好。我的猫脸上露出滑稽的表情,看起来它想把嘴里的难闻味道去掉。我在想,如果我吃了一只蜈蚣,我会生病的。我的猫看着我,跳回我的椅子上。它把脸伸进我的茶杯里,喝了一大口茶。我很震惊。我以前从未见过猫喝茶。我想蜈蚣的味道一定太糟糕了,我的猫只是需要一些东西来冲掉嘴里的味道。你猜怎么着?我没有喝完我的茶。我把它扔掉了,把杯子洗干净了。从那天起,我的猫再也没有喝过茶。它也再也没有吃过蜈蚣。如果一只蜈蚣走过,它就假装没看见。
