②When the cat is happy and pleased, how does she show it? She purrs (发出呼噜声), and this is her way of saying. "I am quite happy now." If she is unhappy, or in pain, or hungry, she mews. If she is angry, she sets up her back and moves her tail from side to side. If she is treated (对待) in a way she does not like, her tail goes straight up in the air, and she walks out of the room.

③If your dog is pleased, he puts back his ears, waves his tail, and seems to smile. If he is angry, he growls (咆哮), shows his teeth, puts up his tail and the hair along his back and neck, walks around slowly, and makes himself look very fierce (凶猛). This is the dog's way of saying. "I am mad, I have a mind to bite you."

④When a hen sees a dog coming near her chickens, have you not noticed how she waves her wings, raises her tail, and rushes to the dog? This is her way of saying "Be off, or I will peck (啄) you with my hard beak (喙)." If she sees a hawk, she makes a strange noise, and her chickens at once run away and hide themselves. They understand their mother to say "Quick, get out of sight, dears! There is danger near." When she finds some nice food, she makes another kind of noise. The chickens know quite well what it means, and run at once to share the food their mother has found for them.

⑤In such ways as these, animals make themselves understood almost as well as if they could talk like humans. They tell their feelings to one another by acts and by sounds just as we do by words.

The young man remembered these words and began his trip. He walked for a long time carefully and found no beasts were out there. He thought his family's worries were unnecessary. And he became relaxed as he walked. Just at that moment, he saw a fierce (凶猛的) tiger running to him and he climbed onto a tree nearby at once.

The tiger roared (咆哮) around the tree and even jumped to reach the man. The young man was too afraid to hold the tree and fell right on the back of the tiger. Full of fear, he had to hold the tiger tightly (紧紧地). The tiger thought that must be a big beast. So it was afraid and started running madly.

People on the road didn't know what happened and said, "Look at the young man. He is riding a tiger." "Cool!" "Superman!"

Hearing these words, the young man was very angry. "Why can't they see I'm suffering (受苦) a lot? Don't they understand I am in fear and almost scared to death (死)?" He said to himself.
