    Most people who work in the office have a boss (老板). So do I. But my boss is a little unusual. What's unusual about him? It's a big dog. Many men have dogs, but few men bring their dogs to the office every day. My boss's dog, Robinson, is big and brown. My boss brings him to work every day. He takes the dog to meetings and he takes the dog to lunch. When there is telephone call for my boss, I always know if he is in the office. I only look under his desk. If I see something brown and hairy (毛绒绒的) under it, I know my boss is somewhere in the office. If there is no dog, I know my boss is out.

    Long ago, there was a big cat in the house. He was strong        he caught many mice while they were stealing food,        all the mice were afraid of it. One day the mice had a meeting to talk about the way to deal with their common enemy. They didn't agree with each other. Some said this,        some said that.

    At last a young mouse got up        said that he had a good idea, "We could tie a bell around the neck of the cat.        when he comes near, we can hear the sound of the bell        run away."

    Everyone approved of this proposal (建议),        an old wise mouse got up and said, "That is all very well,        who will tie the bell to the cat?" The mice looked at each other,        nobody spoke. Until now, they haven't decided whether it is a good idea        not.
