猫    和    老    鼠    合    伙   

 有    一    只    猫    认    识    了    一    只    老    鼠   ， 便    对    它    大    谈    特    谈    自    己    是    多    么    喜    欢    老    鼠   ， 原    意    和    它    交    朋    友   ， 弄    得    老    鼠    终    于    同    意    和    猫    住    在    一    起   ， 共    同    生    活   。" 我    们    得    准    备    过    冬    的    东    西    了   ， 不    然    我    们    到    冬    天    会    挨    饿    的   ，" 猫    说   ，" 至    于    你    嘛   ， 我    的    小    老    鼠   ， 哪    里    也    不    要    去   ， 我    真    怕    你    会    被    什    么    老    鼠    夹    子    夹    住   。" 老    鼠    接    受    了    猫    的    好    建    议   ， 于    是    它    们    买    来    了    一    罐    猪    油   ， 然    而    两    个    人    都    不    知    道    该    把    猪    油    放    在    什    么    地    方   。 它    们    左    思    考    右    思    考   ， 最    后    猫    说   ：" 我    觉    得    这    猪    油    放    在    教    堂    里    是    再    合    适    不    过    的    了   ， 因    为    谁    也    不    敢    偷    教    堂    里    的    东    西   。 我    们    把    猪    油    藏    在    祭    坛    下   ， 不    到    万    不    得    已    的    时    候    决    不    动    它   。" 猪    油    罐    就    这    样    被    放    到    了    安    全    的    地    方   。 可    是    没    过    多    久   ， 猫    开    始    想    吃    猪    油    了   ， 便    对    老    鼠    说   ：" 小    老    鼠   ， 我    想    跟    你    说    点    事   。 我    的    表    姐    刚    刚    生    了    一    个    小    宝    宝   ， 还    请    我    当    小    宝    贝    的    教    母   。 那    小    宝    贝    全    身    雪    白   ， 带    着    一    些    褐    色    的    斑    点   。 我    要    抱    着    它    去    接    受    洗    礼   ， 所    以    今    天    要    出    去    一    下   ， 你    一    个    人    在    家    看    家   ， 好    吗   ？"" 好    的   ， 好    的   ，" 老    鼠    说   ，" 你    尽    管    去    吧   。 要    是    有    什    么    好    吃    的    东    西   ， 千    万    要    记    着    我   。 我    很    想    尝    一    点    洗    礼    时    用    的    红    葡    萄    酒   。" 这    一    切    当    然    都    不    是    真    的   ， 因    为    猫    并    没    有    表    姐   ， 也    没    有    被    请    去    当    教    母   。 它    直    接    去    了    教    堂   ， 偷    偷    爬    到    猪    油    罐    那    里   ， 开    始    舔    呀    舔   ， 把    顶    上    一    层    猪    油    舔    得    精    光   。 然    后   ， 它    在    城    里    的    屋    顶    上    散    了    散    步   ， 想    碰    碰    别    的    运    气   ； 接    着    便    躺    下    来    晒    太    阳   。 每    当    想    起    那    罐    猪    油   ， 它    都    情    不    自    禁    地    舔    舔    自    己    的    嘴    唇   。 它    一    直    等    到    天    黑    才    回    家   。" 啊   ， 你    终    于    回    来    了   ，" 老    鼠    说   ，" 这    一    天    肯    定    过    得    很    开    心    吧   ？"" 一    切    顺    利   。" 猫    答    道   。" 你    们    给    那    孩    子    起    了    什    么    名    字   ？"" 没    了    顶    层   ！" 猫    冷    淡    地    说   。" 没    了    顶    层   ！" 老    鼠    叫    了    起    来   ，" 这    个    古    怪    的    名    字    可    不    多    见   。 你    们    家    常    取    这    样    的    名    字    吗   ？"" 那    有    什    么   ？" 猫    说   ，" 不    比    你    的    那    些    教    子    叫    什    么   ' 偷    面    包    屑    的   ' 更    糟    吧   ？"

 没    过    多    久   ， 猫    又    想    吃    猪    油    了   。 它    对    老    鼠    说   ：" 你    得    帮    我    一    个    忙   ， 再    一    个    人    看    一    次    家   。 又    有    人    请    我    当    教    母    了   ， 而    且    这    个    孩    子    的    脖    子    上    有    一    道    白    圈   ， 我    实    在    无    法    推    辞   。" 好    心    的    老    鼠    同    意    了   。 猫    从    城    墙    后    面    溜    进    教    堂   ， 一    口    气    吃    掉    了    半    罐    猪    油   。" 什    么    东    西    也    没    有    比    吃    到    自    己    的    嘴    里    更    好   ，" 它    说   ， 心    里    对    这    一    天    的    收    获    感    到    很    满    意   。 等    它    到    家    时   ， 老    鼠    问    道   ：" 这    个    孩    子    起    的    什    么    名    字    呀   ？"" 吃    了    一    半   ，" 猫    回    答   。" 吃    了    一    半   ！ 你    在    说    什    么    呀   ？ 我    长    这    么    大    了    还    从    来    没    有    听    说    过    这    样    的    名    字   。 我    敢    打    赌   ， 就    是    年    历    上    也    不    会    有    这    样    的    名    字   ！"

 不    久   ， 猫    的    嘴    巴    又    开    始    流    口    水    了   ， 想    再    去    舔    一    舔    猪    油   。" 好    事    成    三    嘛   ，" 它    说   ，" 又    有    人    请    我    去    当    教    母    了   。 这    个    孩    子    除    了    爪    子    是    白    色    的   ， 浑    身    黑    黝    黝    的   ， 连    一    根    白    毛    都    没    有   。 这    是    好    几    年    才    会    碰    上    的    事    情   ， 你    当    然    会    同    意    我    去    的   ， 是    吗   ？"" 没    了    顶    层   ！ 吃    了    一    半   ！" 老    鼠    回    答   ，" 这    些    名    字    真    怪   ！ 我    实    在    弄    不    明    白   。"" 你    白    天    又    不    出    门   ，" 猫    说   ，" 整    天    穿    着    深    灰    色    的    皮    袄   ， 拖    着    长    长    的    尾    巴   ， 坐    在    家    里    胡    思    乱    想   ， 当    然    弄    不    明    白    啦   ！" 趁    着    猫    不    在    家   ， 老    鼠    把    屋    子    打    扫    了    一    下   ， 把    东    西    放    得    整    整    齐    齐   。 可    是    那    只    馋    猫    把    剩    下    的    猪    油    吃    得    干    干    净    净   。" 人    只    有    把    东    西    吃    得    干    干    净    净    才    能    放    心   ，" 它    自    言    自    语    地    说   。 它    吃    得    饱    饱    的   ， 直    到    天    黑    了    才    挺    着    圆    圆    的    肚    子    回    家   。 老    鼠    看    到    它    回    来   ， 立    刻    问    它    这    第    三    个    孩    子    起    的    什    么    名    字   。" 你    也    不    会    喜    欢    这    个    名    字   ，" 猫    说   ，" 它    叫   ' 吃    得    精    光   '。"" 吃    得    精    光   ！" 老    鼠    叫    了    起    来   ，" 这    个    名    字    太    令    人    费    解    了   ！ 我    从    来    没    有    在    书    上    见    过   。 吃    得    精    光   ！ 这    是    什    么    意    思    呢   ？" 它    摇    摇    头   ， 蜷    缩    起    身    子   ， 躺    下    睡    着    了   。

 从    此   ， 猫    再    也    没    有    被    邀    请    去    当    教    母   。 可    是    冬    天    来    到    了   ， 外    面    再    也    找    不    到    任    何    吃    的    东    西   。 老    鼠    想    到    了    它    们    准    备    的    过    冬    的    东    西   ， 便    说   ：" 走    吧   ， 猫   ！ 我    们    去    取    储    存    的    猪    油    吧   。 我    们    可    以    美    美    吃    上    一    顿   。"" 是    的   ，" 猫    回    答   ，" 那    准    会    把    你    美    得    就    像    把    你    那    尖    尖    的    舌    头    伸    到    窗    外    去    喝    西    北    风    一    样   。" 它    们    动    身    去    教    堂   ， 可    它    们    到    达    那    里    后   ， 看    到    猪    油    罐    倒    是    还    在    那    里   ， 里    面    却    是    空    的   。" 天    哪   ！" 老    鼠    说   ，" 我    现    在    终    于    明    白    是    怎    么    回    事    了   ！ 你    可    真    是    个    好    朋    友   ！ 你    在    去    当    什    么    教    母    的    时    候   ， 把    这    猪    油    全    吃    光    了   ！ 先    是    吃    了    顶    上    一    层   ， 然    后    吃    了    一    半   ， 最    后   ......"" 你    给    我    住    嘴   ！" 猫    嚷    道   ，" 你    要    是    再    罗    嗦   ， 我    连    你    也    吃    了   ！""...... 吃    得    精    光   ，" 可    怜    的    老    鼠    脱    口    而    出   。 它    刚    把    话    说    完   ， 猫    就    扑    到    了    它    的    身    上   ， 抓    住    它   ， 把    它    吞    进    了    肚    子   。 这    世    界    就    是    这    样   ！
