frog. The mouse asks: “Dad is this cat?” his father says “No, it’s a
frog, it’s small.” Then they meet a cow. The son asks: “Is this a cat?”
His father says: “No. The cat is not big.” They go on and the son asks:
“Is this a cat?” the father says: “No, it’s sheep.” Now the mouse asks:
“What colour is the cat?” The father says: “It’s black and white.” “Are
those cats?” asks his little son. “Those are ducks”, says his father,
“and those are hens.” Suddenly the father sees the cat and runs
away. But the little son is not afraid of it. A dog sees the cat too and
begins to bark. The cat climbs the tree and the mouse says: “Now I
know that the cat can eat me and it says: “Woof- Woof”.
