There was once a bat (蝙蝠) that was too lazy to hunt insects. One day, he looked1 a window and saw a bird in its cage. The bird was given all its food and water without having to do2at all. So the bat decided to become a child's pet.
The bat flew to parks so that he could be seen by some3and taken home. However the bat was not as beautiful as some birds, and the children paid little attention(很少注意). Finally, with good luck, he met a little boy who was willing to4him as a pet.
The bat was5in his cage, in a warm and comfortable house. There he6like he was the best and certainly the cleverest one. But when he wanted to eat, there was no insect, but only bird food. The bat would rather die of hunger than7bird food. When the boy noticed the bat getting thinner, he used the spoon to feed the bat bird food8the bat could be used to eating the bird food.
Some days later, the bat managed to escape from the cage and9home. He began to hunt insects for food with other bats. Later he became strong and enjoyed his life10a bat.
