The Prettiest Cat最漂亮的猫

They did not like such quarrelling.

But after a while the noise stopped and the very old man and the very old woman peeped out of the window to see what had happened.

They could not see a single cat!

"I think they must have eaten each other all up," said the very old woman, "Its too bad!"

"But look!" said the very old man, and he pointed to a bunch of high grass.

In it sat one little frightened kitten.

They went out and picked it up. It was thin and scraggly.

"Poor little kitty," said the very old woman.

"Dear little kitty," said the very old man,

"how does it happen that you were not eaten up with all those hundreds and thousands and millions and billions and trillions of cats?"

"Oh, Im just a very homely little cat," said the kitten,

"So when you asked who was the prettiest, I didnt say anything. So Nobody bothered about me."

They took the kitten into the house, where the very old woman gave it a warm bath and Brushed its

fur until it was soft and shiny.

Every day they gave it plenty of milk,

and soon it grew nice and plump.

"And it is a very pretty cat, after all!" said the very old woman.

"It is the most beautiful cat in the whole world," said the very old man.

"I ought to know, for Ive seen —

Hundreds of cats,

Thousands of cats,

Millions and billions and trillions of cats —

and not one was as pretty as this one."

【寓意】

该书表达了“夫唯不争，故天下莫能与之争”的生活智慧。

不介入任何争端，也就是夫唯不争，就不会有成功或失败之说，也就是天下莫能与之争，围棋高手能赢得过不会下棋之人吗？

所以不管你对一件事抱以什么样的看法和心态，参与争夺也好，选择顺其自然也罢，只要你去做，就会有50%的失败几率，导致失败的原因部分是必然的，部分是我们无法预料的，而成功，不过是你去做这件事所带来的的副产品而已。

【译文】

他们不喜欢这样的争吵声。

但是过了一会儿喧嚣声就消失了，老爷爷和老奶奶从窗户往外窥探，想看看发生了什么。

他们一只猫也没看到！

“我想它们肯定是把对方给吃了，”老奶奶说“这太糟糕了！”

“但是你看！”老爷爷说，他指向了一片高高的草丛。

那上面坐着一只受到惊吓的小猫。

他们出去把它抱了起来。它很瘦，身上的毛也乱糟糟的。

“可怜的小猫咪呀，”老奶奶说。

“亲爱的小猫咪呀，”老爷爷说。

“你为什么没有被那些猫给吃掉呢？”

“哦，我只是一只普普通通的小猫，”小猫咪说。

“所以当你问谁是最漂亮的猫时，我什么也没说。因此也没有猫找我的麻烦。”

他们把小猫抱进屋里，老奶奶给它洗了个热水澡，把它的毛刷的又软又亮。

他们每天都给小猫喝很多的牛奶，所以他很快就变得漂亮丰满起来。

“最终，它才是最漂亮的猫！”老奶奶说。

“这是世界上最漂亮的猫了，”老爷爷说。

“我就知道，在我见过的成百只，上千只，成百万，上千万甚至上百亿的猫中——这只猫是最漂亮的！”
