Joke time

Mama mouse and baby mouse were out on an expedition to look for cheese when suddenly a huge tabby cat bounded towards them, teeth bared and claws flashing. They turned and ran for their lives, but soon found themselves in a corner. Turning to face the fast approaching cat, they realised that there was no way out.

Baby mouse was very frightened and clung to Mama mouse shivering. He cried, "Oh mama, we are done for!"

Mama mouse held Baby mouse close to her warm furry body and whispered, "Shh..."

The tabby got closer and closer with each bound and just as she was about to pounce, Mama mouse yelled loudly, "WOOF WOOF! WOOF! WOOF! WOOF WOOF! ", and scared the tabby away.

And then Mama mouse said to Baby mouse, "See, I told you it pays to learn a second language!"
