　　A CAT caught a Cock, and pondered how he might find a reasonable excuse for eating him. He accused him of being a nuisance to men by crowing in the night time and not permitting them to sleep.

　　The Cock defended himself by saying that he did this for the benefit of men, that they might rise in time for their labors.

　　The Cat replied,"Although you abound in specious apologies, I shall not remain supperless." and he made a meal of him.

　　公雞辯解說，他這樣做是為了造福人類，為了能夠讓人們及時起床勞作。

　　貓回答說:“雖然你找到了理由為自己辯護，但是我不會讓自己晚上空著肚子的。” 于是貓就把雞給吃了。
