从前，有一户人家，家里有许多老鼠。
他们到处乱窜，让这户人家非常头疼。
猫听说了这件事，就跑到了这家去。
这只猫可真厉害，它看见一只老鼠就抓住一只，把老鼠们都吓得不敢出来。
没过多久，老鼠们就都躲进了洞里。
这样一来，猫就抓不到它们了。
猫很聪明，它想出了一个好主意。
它找来一根木橛，然后爬上去，把自己吊在上面装死。
这样，老鼠们就会以为猫已经死了，然后就会从洞里出来。
果然，有一只老鼠悄悄地探出头来，看到猫的样子，心里想：“哼，就算你变成一个皮袋，我也不会靠近你的。”
于是，这只老鼠就回到了洞里，没有再出来。
这个故事告诉我们，聪明的人在遇到困难时，会从失败中吸取教训，不再被表面现象所迷惑。
所以，我们在生活中也要学会思考，不要轻易相信别人的话，要有自己的判断。
Once upon a time, there was a family who had many mice in their house.
They ran around everywhere, causing the family a lot of trouble.
A cat heard about this and went to the family's house.
This cat was very clever. Whenever it saw a mouse, it would catch it, scaring all the mice away.
Before long, all the mice had hidden themselves in their holes.
This made it impossible for the cat to catch them.
But the cat was smart. It came up with a good idea.
It found a wooden stake and climbed up on it, pretending to be dead.
The mice would think that the cat was dead and come out of their holes.
Sure enough, one mouse poked its head out and saw the cat. It thought to itself, "Hmph, even if you turn into a leather bag, I won't go near you."
So the mouse went back into its hole and never came out again.
This story teaches us that clever people learn from their failures and are not fooled by appearances when they face difficulties.
So in life, we should also learn to think for ourselves and not easily believe what others say. We should have our own judgments.
