　　There were many mice(老鼠)in Jack's house．They ran about all over the house at night．In the day, they were back to their homes．

　　“I need a good cat,” thought Jack．He knew a man who had cats, so Jack went to see him．

　　“Do you have a cat that is good for the mice?” Jack asked the man．

　　“Well, yes, I have such a cat,” answered the man．

　　“I'll take it,” said Jack．He paid for the cat and took it home．
