In China, people believe that, at the beginning, the tiger and the cat were friends, and the cat was much smarter than the tiger.

在中國，人們相信在很久以前貓和老虎是好朋友，而且貓比老虎聰明的多。

The cat learned physical skills quickly, and the tiger was always behind.

貓學(xué)習(xí)動作技巧很快，老虎卻總是落后。

Gradually, the tiger had to learn from the cat, and the cat was patient to teach the tiger.

漸漸的，老虎不得不向貓學(xué)習(xí)了，貓也很有耐心的教老虎。

Day after day, month after month, finally, the tiger could also run, jump, roll, grasp, tear, and strike as well as the cat.

日復(fù)一日，月復(fù)一月，老虎終于也可以像貓一樣，跑，跳，打滾，撲抓，撕咬，擊打。

One summer afternoon, the cat was taking a nap as the tiger was sitting nearby.

一個夏天的下午，貓在打盹，老虎在邊上坐著。

Looking at the cat, the tiger suddenly thought, why should he keep be friending with such a small animal since he had already learnt all the skills from the cat?

老虎看著貓，忽然想到，既然自己已經(jīng)學(xué)會了貓的所有本領(lǐng)，為什么還要和這么小的動物一直做朋友呢？

The evil tiger decided to kill the sleeping cat as a before dinner snack. The tiger stood up and approached the cat viciously.

邪惡的老虎決定殺死熟睡中的貓，當(dāng)作晚餐前的點心。老虎站起來，邪惡的一步步靠近貓。

Just at this moment, the cat woke up. Opening her eyes, the smart cat immediately realized what the tiger was trying to do and swiftly jumped onto a nearby tall tree and climbed to the top branch.

就在這時，貓醒來了。聰明的她睜開眼睛立刻意識到老虎要干什么，于是立刻靈活的跳到了附近的大樹上，爬到樹頂。

The tiger thought he had already learned every skill from the cat.

老虎以為他已經(jīng)學(xué)到了貓的所有本領(lǐng)。

But he never knew that the cat had hidden the tree climbing from him.

但他不知道貓還藏了一手爬樹的本事。

“I kept the last technique of the tree climbing from you just because I suspected you might be an ungrateful friend.”

“我沒有讓你學(xué)這最后一個爬樹的技巧，因為我懷疑你可能會是個不知感恩的朋友?！?/span>

The cat loudly told the tiger who watched under the tree helplessly.

貓高聲告訴樹下無奈的老虎。
