莎拉是個吃東西常常會掉屑屑的小女孩,她覺得很奇怪,因為她的房間總是很乾淨,某一天她發現了一隻小老鼠….
Garret is a little mouse, living next to Sara’s bedroom.
蓋瑞特是隻小老鼠,住在莎拉的臥室隔壁。
Sara is a nine-year old girl with strange hobbies—

Who likes to chase cats and daydream.
追著貓到處跑和做白日夢。
Garret never needs to worry about food.
蓋瑞特從來不用擔心食物,
For Sara always drops snacks around the room.
因為莎拉總是把零食掉得到處都是。
Garret is very discreet.
蓋瑞特非常小心。
When he cleans the snacks off the floor,
他總是在清理莎拉掉的零食,
So Sara never found out where Garret hides.
但莎拉從來沒有找到蓋瑞特的藏身之處。
She does sometimes wonder why her room is always so clean,

though she seldom does any cleaning.
儘管自己很少打掃房間。
One day, Sara brought back a fluffy cat.
有一天,莎拉從街上帶回來一隻毛茸茸的貓
The cat found out Garret’s hiding place and began meowing at Garret’s direction.
這隻貓發現了蓋瑞特的藏身之處,開始沖著蓋瑞特瞄瞄叫。
Sara came to Garret’s nest and looked in.
莎拉來到蓋瑞特的窩往裡面看。
“Oh, there’s a lovely little mouse here! Now I know where all the crumbs went!”
“啊,有一隻可愛的小老鼠!現在我知道我的零食去哪兒了!”
Garret backed to the corner, too afraid to budge an inch.
蓋瑞特躲到了角落裡,怕得動都不敢動。
“Come out and play with the cat, little mouse!”
“出來跟貓一起玩啊,小老鼠!”
Sara called out, holding the cat in her arms.
莎拉叫他,邊把貓抱在懷裡。
“What is she thinking about?! A mouse playing with a cat?”
“她在想什麼?!叫我一隻老鼠跟貓玩?”
Garret stared at her, but refused to come out.
蓋瑞特盯著她看,卻不肯從洞裡出來。
After a while, Sara felt tired and went to sleep.
等了一會兒後,莎拉累了,決定睡覺。
The cat guarded by Garret’s nest, curiously walking around.
那隻貓還在蓋瑞特的窩附近,好奇地張望。
“At least, the cat can’t come into my tiny nest. I’ll be safe for tonight.” Garret thinks.
“至少貓咪進不來我的小窩,我今晚是安全的。”蓋瑞特想著。
That night, Sara seemed to hear a mouse singing in her dream.
