（单词翻译:单击）

  HEARING that the Birds in an aviary1 were ill, a Cat went to them
and said that he was a physician, and would cure them if they would
let him in.

  "To what school of medicine do you belong?" asked the Birds.

  "I am a Miaulopathist," said the Cat.

  "Did you ever practise Gohomoeopathy?" the Birds inquired, winking2
faintly.

  The Cat took the hint and his leave.
