英文笑话会说话的猫A Cat That Can Speak
　　Mrs. Margaret had a little cat. One evening it was outside when it began to snow heavily. Mrs. Margaret looked everywhere， but she did not find it. So she telephoned the police and said， “I have lost a small black cat. Has anybody found one？”

　　“No， madam，” said the policeman at the other end， “But cats are very strong animals. They sometimes lie for days in the snow， and when it melts2 or somebody finds them， they are still all right.”

　　Mrs. Margaret felt happy when she heard this. “And，” she said， “our cat is very clever， she almost can speak.”
　　“Well then，” the policeman said， “why don’t you put your telephone down？ Perhaps she is trying to telephone you now.”

　　玛格丽特太太养了一只小猫。一天晚上，猫出去了，这时天上下起了大雪。玛格丽特太太处处寻觅，可是没找到，所以她给差人打电话说：“我丢了一只小黑猫，有人看到它吗？”

　　“没有，太太！”差人在电话的另一端说道，“可是猫是十分皮实的动物，它们有时候能在雪地里呆好几天，当雪消融或有人发现时，它们依然安然无恙。”

　　听到这话后，玛格丽特太太感到很快乐。“还有，”她说，“咱们家的猫十分聪明，简直能够说话。”
　　“那好，”差人说：“那你为什么不把电话放下？或许那只猫正想给你打电话呢！”
