One day a lady saw a mouse running across her kitchen floor. She was very afraid of mouse, she ran
of the house, got into a bus and went to the shop. There she bought a mousetrap(捕鼠器). The shopkeeper said to her, “Put some cheese in it
you will soon catch that mouse.”
The lady went home her mousetrap, but when she looked in her cupboard, she could not find any cheese in
. She did not want to go back to the shop,
it was very late. She cut a picture of some cheese out of
magazine and put that in the trap.
Surprisingly, the picture of the cheese was quite successful! the lady came down to the kitchen the next morning, she found a picture of a mouse in the trap beside the picture of the cheese!
