Dum unu tago, Muso falis en barelon de vino. Kato auxdis la sono de Muso penis eskapi la barelo.

"Kiel vi krias tial?" demandis Kato.

"Cxar mi ne povas eskapi," respondis Muso.

"Kio vi donos al mi, se mi savos vin?"

"Io ajn! Cxio! Kion vi volas?"

"Tion. Vi tuj venos al mi kiam mi vokos vin."

"Jes! Mi promesas," diris Muso. "Mi promesas!"

"Jxuru!" ordonis Kato.

"Mi jxuras!"

Kato alprenis Muson el la vino, kaj lasis lin foriris al lia truo.


La tago venis kiam Kato malsatis. Li memoris Muson. Li iris al la musotruo kaj vokis Muson. "Venu al mi," li diris. "Venu nun."

Muso kriegis, "Ne!"

"Ne?" Kato kriis. "Vi promesis!"

Muso ridas. "Jes," li diris. "Sed hodiaux mi ne estas ebria."

    One day, Mouse fell into a cask of wine. Cat heard the sound of Mouse trying to escape the cask.

"Why are crying that way?" asked Cat.

"Because I can't escape," answered Mouse.

"What will you give me if I rescue you?"

"Anything! Everything! What do you want?"

"This. You will immediately come to me when I call you."

"Yes! I promise," said Mouse. "I promise!"

"Swear!" ordered Cat.

"I swear!"

Cat pulled Mouse from the wine and allowed him to go back to his hole.


The day came when Cat hungered. He remembered Mouse. He went to the mouse hold and called Mouse. "Come to me," he called. "Come now."

Mouse yelled, "No!"

"No?" Cat cried. "You promised!"

Mouse laughed. "Yes," he siad. "But today I am not drunk."
