A CAT, hearing that the Birds in a certain aviary were ailing dressed himself up as a physician, and, taking his cane and a bag of instruments becoming his profession, went to call on them. —
一只猫听说一个特定的鸟舍里的鸟儿病了，于是装扮成医生，拿着拐杖和一袋工具，行医的样子去拜访它们。 —

He knocked at the door and inquired of the inmates how they all did, saying that if they were ill, he would be happy to prescribe for them and cure them. —
他敲门并问住在里面的鸟儿们身体如何，说如果它们生病了，他会乐意给它们开药并治愈它们。 —

They replied, “We are all very well, and shall continue so, if you will only be good enough to go away, and leave us as we are.”
它们回答说：“我们都很好，如果你能够好心离开，让我们保持现状，我们将会一直很好。”
