Cat Heaven猫的天堂One day a cat dies of natural causes and goes to heaven.
一天，一只猫自然死亡，来到了天堂。
Greeting him the Lord says, "You've lived a good life. If there is any way I can make your stay in Heaven more comfortable, please let Me know."上帝在天堂迎接它，说道：“过去你生活得很好，有什么方法能让你在天堂里生活得更加舒适，请告诉我。”
The cat thinks for a minute and says, "Well, all my live I lived with a poor family and had to sleep on a hard wodeen floor..."猫想了一会儿，说：“我一直生活在一个贫穷的家庭里，我只能睡在硬木板地上……”
The Lord stops the cat and says, "Say no more!"上帝打断猫说：“不用再说了！”
Just then a wonderful fluffy 1 pillow appears and the cat contentedly 2 wanders off to find a good place to nap.
猫的面前一下子出现了一只松软舒服的枕头，猫爬上去找个舒心的位置打盹。
A few days later six mice killed in a tragic 3 farming accident go to heaven. The Lord is there to greet them with the same offer.
几天后，六只老鼠在农场的一次意外中丧生，也来到了天堂。上帝迎接它们时，也问它们怎么能让它们的生活更加舒适。
The mice answer, "All of our lives we've been chased. We've had to run from cats, from tractors, even from that farmer's wife with her broom. We're tired of running..."老鼠们答道：“我们的一生都在被迫追捕中度过。我们得避开猫、躲开拖拉机，甚至还得防着农妇的扫帚。我们跑得太累了……”
"Say no more!" the Lord replies.
“不用再说了！”上帝说。
In a flash, each mouse is fitted with a beautiful new pair of roller skates, and they skate nappily off to explore the Heavenly landscape.
转眼间，每只老鼠的脚上都套上了一双崭新漂亮的滚轴溜冰鞋。它们欢快地滑走去天堂各处转悠了。
About a week later the Lord stops by to see the cat and finds him snoozing away. He gently wakes the cat and asks, "How are things since you got here?"一星期后，上帝顺道去看猫，发现它在睡觉。轻轻地把它叫醒后，上帝问道：“你来天堂以后生活得怎么样啊？”
The cat stretches, yawns and replies, "Oh, it is wonderful here. I get a lot of great sleep on this pillow, and those Meals On Wheels you've been sending are the BEST!!!"猫伸伸懒腰，打个呵欠，说道：“太棒了。我每天都在这只枕头上做很多美梦，另外，你送来的那些‘轮子上的肉’是最好的美味！！！”
