A man from Zhao, who had mice at home, went to Zhongshan to beg cats to eat. People in Zhongshan gave him a cat. This cat is good at catching mice as well as chickens. After more than a month, the mouse was gone and the chicken was gone. His son was very worried and said to his father, "Why don't you drive the cat away?"

His father said, "This is not what you know. My nemesis is mice, and I don't care about chickens. If there are mice, they will steal my food, destroy my clothes, break my walls and chew my utensils, and I will be hungry and cold. Isn't it more harmful than not raising chickens? No chicken, just don't eat it. It's still a long way from hunger and cold. Why do you want to drive the cat away? "

Zhao suffers from mice, while Zhongshan begs cats. The cat given by Zhongshan people is good at catching mice and chickens. A month later, the mouse was exhausted and the chicken was exhausted. When his son suffered from the disease, he told his father, "What are you going to do?" His father said, "If you know right and wrong. I suffer from mice, and I don't care about chickens. If my husband has mice, he will steal my food, destroy my clothes, wear my walls and damage my utensils. Will I be hungry and cold, and I won't get sick without chickens?
