Question

【题目】Once upon a time, there lived a rich man. He had a servant (仆人). He and the servant both loved wine and good food very much. Each time the rich man left his home, the servant would drink the wine and eat up all the nice food in the house. The rich man knew what his servant did, but he had never caught his servant doing that.

One morning, when he left home, he said to the servant, “Here are two bottles of poison (毒药) and some nice food in the house. You must take care of them.” With these words, he went out.

When the rich man came back, he couldn’t find his food or his wine. He became very angry. He woke the servant up. But the servant told his story very well. He said a cat had eaten up everything.
