A cat catches a red mouse but decides not to eat it when the mouse claims to be an alien and offers to bring the cat alien cheese. The mouse returns with a piece of the tasty cheese, and the cat decides they should be friends. The mouse then offers to take the cat to its planet to get more of the cheese by holding onto its tail, and the two become best friends who visit each other often.

friends

2. Once upon a time a cat
lived in a house. All her life
she had been hunting mice.

3. One day, she caught a funny red mouse.
– Are you afraid of me?
– No, I'm not. Don't eat
me, please!

4. – Why is that?
–Because I'm an
alien!

5. – I don't know... I have never
eaten it. Do you like it?
– I will bring you alien cheese!
Do you want any?

6. – It's very,
very tasty!

7. The cat dropped the mouse's tail
and the mouse ran to the burrow.
The mouse had not returned for a
long time and the cat decided that
the mouse had cheated her.
– Here you are! Try!
But the mouse came
back with a big piece
of something.

8. – Well, I’ve told you!
The cat carefully began to smell. She liked the
smell! Then she tried the cheese.
– Mmmm! How
delicious!

9. – Do you have any more?
– I have not. But
there is a lot of
cheese on our
planet.

10. And how can we get
there?
– You need grasp
my tail tight.

11. So, are you my friend now?
And you're not going to eat
me, aren't you?
– Well, of course,
who eats friends?

12. Since then they are best friends and they
often visit each other.
