Why Cats Hunt at Night

Why cats hunt at night?

为什么猫要在晚上捕猎呀？

Once upon a time there was a cat. Cat hunted in the day. She hunted mice, birds and frogs. At night, cat went to sleep.

从前呀，有一只小猫。 小猫白天出去捕猎。 她抓老鼠、小鸟还有青蛙。 到了晚上，小猫就去睡觉啦。

Cat wasn't very good at hunting in the day. The mice, birds and frogs could see her. We can see you, Cat, said the mice in the grass. We can see you, said the birds up in the trees. Cat, we can see you, said the frogs by the pond. And the mice and the birds and the frogs always got away.

小猫不太擅长在白天捕猎哦。 老鼠、小鸟和青蛙都能看见她。 “我们能看见你呀，小猫。”草丛里的老鼠们说。 “我们能看见你呀。”树上的小鸟们说。 “小猫，我们能看见你呀。”池塘边的青蛙们说。 所以老鼠、小鸟和青蛙总能逃走。

Poor Cat was always hungry. Soon she was very very tired. One day she was too tired to hunt. Cat went to sleep and slept all day. When she woke up it was night.

可怜的小猫总是饿肚子。很快她就变得非常非常累。有一天她实在 累得没力气捕猎了。 小猫倒头就睡，睡了整整一天。等她醒来的时候，已经是晚上啦。

Cat had not been out at night before. How dark the night was. How big and shiny the moon was. How silver the moon made the pond. Cat was still tired. She went to the silver pond. She washed her face. Then she washed her eyes.

小猫以前从来没有在晚上出过门。 夜晚可真黑呀。 月亮又大又亮，可好看啦。 月光洒在池塘上，把池塘染成了银闪闪的一片。 小猫还是有点累。 她走到那片银闪闪的池塘边。 她洗了洗脸。 然后又洗了洗眼睛。

All at once, Cat's eyes grew big and shiny. They grew as big and shiny as the moon. Cat looked around with her big shiny eyes. She could see in the dark.

忽然，小猫的眼睛变得又大又亮。 变得和月亮一样又大又亮哦。 小猫用她那双又大又亮的眼睛环顾四周。 她居然能在黑暗里看见东西啦。
