英语1分钟小故事带翻译：老猫

The Old Cat

An old woman had a cat. The cat was very old; she could not
run quickly, and she could not bite, because she was so old.
One day the old cat saw a mouse; she jumped and caught the
mouse. But she could not bite it; so the mouse got out of her
mouth and ran away, because the cat could not bite it.

Then the old woman became very angry because the cat had not
killed the mouse. She began to hit the cat. The cat said,
not hit your old servant. I have worked for you for many
years, and I would work for you still, but I am too old. Do
not be unkind to the old, but remember what good work the old
did when they were young.
