C. Answer the questions.
One day, a cat met a fox in the garden. "Ah," she thought, "he is clever. I will speak to him."
So she said, "Good morning, dear Mr Fox, how are you doing?"
The fox, feeling proud(得意的), looked at the cat from head to tail, not wanting to speak to her.
At last he said, "Oh, what have you learned and how many tricks do you know?"
"I know only one trick," said the cat gently.
"What is it?" asked the fox.
"Well," said the cat, "if the hound dogs(猎犬) are behind me, I can jump up a tree and save myself."
"Why, I know a hundred tricks. So come with me, and I will teach you how to get away from the hound dogs."
Just then a group of hound dogs were seen coming. The cat quickly jumped up a tree.
The cat looked down to see how the fox's hundred tricks worked to save him. But the hound dogs chased after him and caught him. He was soon bitten to death.
"Ah, sorry, Mr Fox," cried the cat sadly, "5."
