Yihu:
Hi there, what a coincidence! Nice to see you again.
Yihu:
Are you busy today?
Yihu:
In that case, how about I tell you something fresh?
Yihu:
Have you heard about rats stealing oil?
Yihu:
Well, for someone as knowledgeable as you, it may not be something fresh. But a mouse stealing oil to share with a cat, that's not something you see every day, right?
Yihu:
Indeed.
Yihu:
After we were closed yesterday, I cleaned up until late. When I was locking the door, I caught a glimpse of a gray rat dashing around in the shadows.
Yihu:
I immediately followed it and saw the mouse hopping onto the shoulders of a little cat, sneaking into the shop through the window.
Yihu:
Then, the rat dipped the tip of its tail in the oil and fed it to the cat. No wonder the cat was willing to help.
Yihu:
After the mouse left, I went to the cat and asked, "Why didn't you just catch the mouse and eat it?"
Yihu:
The cat glanced at me and said, "Fool. If there were no mouse stealing oil, why would they keep me? It's better to have a bit of oil every day for the long run."
Yihu:
Isn't it amusing? A cat working for a mouse.
Yihu:
If you don't believe it, why don't you take a look at the windowsill? There might be traces of oil left.
You carefully check the windowsill and indeed find some traces that seems to be lamp oil.
Yihu:
Did you see the traces?
Yihu:
Wow, really? Well, I just made it up on the spot. Anyway, just take it as a joke.
Yihu:
... Yeah, you're right. I told it to my customers before, and they barely laughed. I still have a long way to go.
Yihu:
Next time, I'll share with you a more amusing one.
