“西蒙,快点咬住它”男人手里拿着一把扫把,对着一只偷吃了他面包的小老鼠大吼大叫,并追着小老鼠满屋里跑,嘴里还一直叫着西蒙的名字。
西蒙是男人饲养的一只黑猫,此时的它,并不像其他猫咪见到老鼠一样兴奋不已,而是慢悠悠地在房间里看戏。

Even if the little mouse had fled in front of it, it turned a blind eye and allowed the little mouse to escape from its eyes.
没有抓到小老鼠的饲主,气愤地对着西蒙数落一番“你还是不是猫咪呀,对老鼠都提不起劲,养你有何用”。

The owner thought that the matter would be over like this, but he did not expect that the scene that happened next made him dumbfounded.
猫咪帮老鼠逃跑
距离上次屋里大闹抓老鼠的事过了两天后,饲主接连几个晚上都听到“刷刷刷”的声音从客厅,厨房的位置传来。
他知道绝对不是西蒙搞的鬼,因为西蒙是个大懒虫,几乎是懒得动的那种,那么就只有一个可能,“小老鼠又来偷吃了”。

为了能抓住这只烦人的老鼠,饲主拿起扫把悄悄来到客厅,然后迅速打开灯,却发现客厅里面并没有老鼠的影子。
So the owner quietly moved to the kitchen. Through the crack in the door, he saw Simon drinking water, and next to him was the little mouse.
The little mouse was drinking water with his head lowered. Simon on the side stretched out his paws to touch the little mouse's head with a doting look on his face.
猫咪把老鼠当成朋友
似乎在跟小老鼠说“慢慢喝,喝完我带你去找好吃的”,小老鼠好像听懂了西蒙的话,探头去亲吻西蒙。
这一幕令饲主大吃一惊,在他的深刻印象中,猫咪是老鼠的天敌,有猫咪在的地方,老鼠应该会避之不及。
And Simon also knows how to get rid of pests, drive away or catch rats. How come they have become friends and get along so harmoniously.

没过多久,西蒙发现了饲主的存在,它突然用很犀利的眼神盯着饲主,好像在警告他“不要多管闲事”。
So this time the owner couldn't catch the little mouse, because Simon helped the little mouse escape again.
From then on, the little mouse appeared at home every day, and Simon changed his usual laziness because of the presence of the little mouse.
began to play in various corners of the room, sometimes making a lot of noise, and even meowing into the air. The owner was already used to the strange behavior of the little mouse
who decided to deal with it alone. He knew that Simon was playing with his only friend, the little mouse.
Although it is a good thing for Simon to have friends, the owner feels that it is a careless friendship, and the relationship between them should be broken off in time.
并且自己已经不再奢望西蒙来抓捕这只小老鼠了,这个时候只能靠自己,饲主先是将西蒙带出外面,再用美食引诱小老鼠进来家里。

As expected, without Simon, the little mouse quickly fell into the hands of the owner, who was supposed to get rid of the little mouse.
But because this was Simon’s friend, the owner took the little mouse to a suburb 14 kilometers away from home and let the little mouse roam free.
处理完小老鼠回到家中后,西蒙满屋子里转悠,叫唤,饲主知道它是在寻找小老鼠,饲主假装不知道发生了什么,上前去安抚西蒙。

After that, Simon returned to his lazy state, still unable to get excited about anything.
亲眼目睹猫咪和老鼠和谐相处的画面,饲主将此事分享,很多人都感到不可思议,觉得这脑洞大开,这都能成为朋友。
Sure enough, cats and mice are not the rumored rivals. At least Simon, the cat from Chile, broke this rumor.
