A
A priest(牧师)
had a cat that climbed up a tree in his backyard and then was afraid to come
down. The priest persuaded, offered warm milk, et
The kitty would not come down. The tree
was not strong enough to climb, so the priest decided that if he tied a rope to
his car and drove away so that the tree bent down, he could then reach up and
get the kitty. He did so, checking his progress in the car frequently, then
figured if he went just a little bit further, the tree would be bent enough for
him to reach the kitty. But as he moved a little further forward, the rope
broke.
The tree went “boing!” and the kitty at once sailed through the air —out of sight. The priest felt terrible. He walked all over the neighborhood asking people if they’d seen his kitty. Nobody had seen a lost kitty.
So, he prayed, “God, I just give this kitty to your keeping,” and went on about his business.
Several days later he was at the grocery store, meeting one of his church members. He happened to look into her shopping cart and was amazed to see cat food. Now this woman was a cat hater and everyone knew it, so he asked her, “Why are you buying cat food when you hate cats so much?”
She replied, “You won’t believe this,” and told him how her little girl had been begging her for a cat, but she kept refusing. Then a few days before, the child begged again, so the Mom finally told her little girl, “Well, if God gives you a cat, you can keep it.” She told the priest, “I watched my child go out in the yard, get on her knees, and ask God for a cat. You won’t believe this, but I saw it with my own eyes. A cat suddenly came flying out of the blue sky, with its paws spread out, and landed right in front of her.”

3. Why was the priest amazed when he saw the woman had bought much cat food?
A. Because he couldn’t imagine she had her own cat.
B. Because the woman was his church member.

thought she would live on cat food.
D. Because he knew clearly she didn’t like a cat.
