There was an old wise cat and a small kitten in an alleyway. The old cat saw the kitten chasing its tail and asked, “Why are you chasing your tail?”

在一条小巷有一只聪明的老猫和一只小猫，老猫看见小猫追自己的尾巴，问道：“你为什么追自己的尾巴？”

To it the kitten replied, “I’ve been attending cat philosophy school and I have learned that the most important thing for a cat is happiness, and that happiness is located in my tail. Therefore, I am chasing it: and when I catch it, I shall have happiness forever.

小猫听了回答：“我上猫咪哲学学校，学到了对一只猫来说最重要的是幸福，而幸福就在我的尾巴上。所以我在追幸福：一旦我抓住了幸福，就能永远幸福了。”

Laughing, the wise old cat replied, “My son, I wasn’t lucky enough to go to cat philosophy school, but as I’ve gone through life, I too have realized that the most important thing for a cat is happiness, and indeed that it is located in my tail. The difference I’ve found though is that whenever I chase after it, it keeps running away from me, but when I go about my business and live my life, it just seems to follow after me wherever I go.

聪明的老猫大笑着回答：“我的孩子，我没你那么幸运能上猫咪哲学学校，但我经历过生活，我也知道对一只猫来说最重要的是幸福，其实它就在我的尾巴上。然而我发现不同的是，我追它的时候它总会跑掉，但我忙自己的事、过自己生活的时候，好像无论我去哪儿它都会跟着我。”
