The Old Man Helped the Cat老人救猫

陈云珍

One day， an old man was having a walk in the forest when he suddenly saw a little cat stuck1 in a hole. The poor animal was trying his best to get out. So， he gave him his hand to get him out. But the cat scratched2 his hand with fear. The man drew back his hand， screaming3 with pain. But he did not stop； he tried to give a hand to the cat again and again.

Another man was watching the scene， screamed with surprise， “Stop helping this cat！Hes going to get himself out of there.”

The old man did not care about him. He just continued saving that cat until he finally succeeded， and then he walked to that man and said， “Son， it is cats instinct4 to scratch， and it is my job to love and care.”

一天，一个老人在森林里散步，突然他看见一只小猫被卡在了一个洞里。可怜的小猫竭尽全力想要出来，于是，老人伸手过去想把小猫弄出来。但是小猫在惊吓之中抓伤了老人的手，老人被抓疼了，尖叫一声，把手缩了回来。但是他没有放弃，他一次一次地想要帮小猫出来。

另外一个人看到了这幅场景，惊讶地叫了一声：“不要帮助这只猫，它会自己出来的。”

老人不理睬他，继续救小猫。最后，他成功了。然后，老人朝那个男人走去，说道：“孩子，又抓又挠是猫的天性，而爱护和照顾它则是我的分内事。”
