Mrs. Brown visited a friend, carrying a small box with holes punched in the top.
"What's in your box?" asked the friend.
"A cat," answered Mrs. Brown. "You see, I've been dreaming about mice at night and I'm so scared! This cat is to catch them."
"But the mice are only imaginary," said the friend.
"So is the cat," whispered Mrs. Brown.
布朗夫人去拜访一位朋友，手里拿着一个顶部扎了小孔的盒子。
“你的盒子里是什么？”朋友问道。
“一只猫，”布朗夫人回答。“你看，我晚上总是梦见老鼠，害怕极了！这只猫是用来抓它们的。”
“可那些老鼠只是想象出来的呀。”朋友说。
“这只猫也是。”布朗夫人小声说道。
