Mother mouse was crossing the street with her three little children. She got halfway across the road when she spotted a cat crouched and ready to pounce upon them. The cat and mother mouse eyeballed each other for a few minutes. Finally mother mouse opened her mouth and let out an enormous “WOOF.” The cat scurried away. Mother mouse turned to her three little ones and said, “Now, do you see the advantage of knowing another language?”
