English Original
Mrs. Brown, a 56-year-old woman living alone in a trailer park near Clovis, is desperately seeking help to find her missing cat, Clyde. The seven-year-old, completely white feline with green eyes and half of its left ear missing disappeared over a month ago.
After Clyde missed several meals, Mrs. Brown called the police. The officer, irritated, clarified that they handle missing persons, not pets, and suggested she ask neighbors or put up flyers. Mrs. Brown decided a billboard would be more effective.
She found an empty billboard off the interstate highway, called the number on it, and was quoted $3,000 a month to display Clyde's enlarged photo. Despite concerns about visibility for fast-moving traffic, she was assured the interstate was congested most of the day. Mrs. Brown used most of her savings to rent the billboard for a month.
The month passed, but Clyde did not return. Now with little savings left, Mrs. Brown contacted the local newspaper hoping for help to fund another month's rental. So far, no one has come forward.

56岁的布朗夫人独自住在克洛维斯附近的一个拖车公园，她正迫切寻求帮助，寻找她失踪的猫克莱德。这只七岁大、全身雪白、绿眼睛、左耳缺了一半的猫已经失踪一个多月了。
在克莱德连续几顿没出现后，布朗夫人报了警。警官有些恼火地澄清，他们只处理人口失踪案，不处理宠物失踪，并建议她询问邻居或张贴传单。布朗夫人认为广告牌会更有效。
她在州际公路旁发现了一个空广告牌，拨打了上面的电话，得知每月支付3000美元就可以展示克莱德的放大照片。尽管她担心高速行驶的车辆能否看清，对方保证州际公路白天大部分时间都很拥堵。布朗夫人用掉了大部分积蓄租了一个月的广告牌。
一个月过去了，克莱德没有回来。如今积蓄所剩无几，布朗夫人联系了当地报社，希望有人能资助她再租一个月。截至目前，尚无人伸出援手。
