“Mother, Mother! What should we do?” Cried Baby Mouse, clinging to his mother’s tail. Mother Mouse paused, staring up into the beady eyes of the hungry cat. But she wasn’t scared because she knew exactly how to deal with big, scary cats. She opened her mouth and took in a deep breath.

“Woof! Woof! Bark bark bark!” She shouted, and the cat ran away as fast as he could.

“Wow, Mother! That was amazing!” Baby Mouse said to his mother, smiling happily.

“And that, my child, is why it is always best to have a second language.”

Moral: It’s always good to have a second language.
