The Chinese story of why cats eat mice is a kids story that explains animal nature to children. Of course, these stories are also fun, lighthearted and relevant to learners of Chinese from all ages. The story begins:

Hěn jiǔ yǐqián, māo hé lǎoshǔ jìshì línju, yòushì hǎo péngyou.
很    久 以前, 猫    和  老鼠  既是 邻居,又是   好     朋友。
A long time ago a cat and a mouse were neighbors and good friends.

From there, we learn why the cat becomes so angry with the mouse and what the cat promises to do about it!
