Two mice sat watching Cat lurking outside."I know how to make Cat go away," said the first mouse.
"How?" the second mouse asked in surprise."Watch! Bow, wow!!!" barked the mouse. The cat immediately ran away in fear.
"Ah, see the benefit of knowing another language!“
The mouse knew a useful secret.
