There lived many mice in the house. The woman in the moonlight saw a mouse crawl into the house.“Look!In comes one,”she said to the man in the house. The thief was so frightened that he hurriedly crawled out of the house and said to the one waiting outside,“She found me when I was just in.” But the thief outside didn’t believe him,so he said,“Let us two try to crawl into the house together.”At that time two mice happened to crawl into the house,too. The woman saw the mice and shouted,“In come two,catch them!” The two thieves were terribly frightened. The man in the house said,“You saw them come in but where are they? I will catch them tonight.”The two thieves started running away at once.
