Entre chiens et chats
Cette histoire se passe il y a bien longtemps. Un hiver terrible s’abat sur le monde. Tous les animaux souffrent du froid et de la faim, chacun cherche un refuge pour se réchauffer un peu.
Le hasard fait que le peuple des chiens et le peuple des chats découvrent en même temps l’entrée d'une grotte.
- J’ai découvert cette grotte le premier, déclare le roi des chats. Elle portera mon nom et sera réservée à mon peuple.
- Pas question, rétorque le roi des chiens. Je suis arrivé avant toi…
- Alors, ce sera la guerre entre nos peuples ! proclame le roi des chats.

        到了市集,孟子又和邻居的小孩,学起商人做生意的样子。一会儿鞠躬欢迎客人、一会儿招待客人、 一会儿和客人讨价还价，表演得像极了! 妈妈知道了，又皱起眉头说：“这个地方也不适合我的孩子住。”
