Once there was a poor young musician. He played the violin well, but he couldn't make enough money to buy much food to eat.
One evening he was eating a little rice and fish for his only meal—supper. A thin white cat came up beside him and the cat looked very hungry. Feeling sorry for the cat, the musician gave it his rice and fish, while he went to sleep hungry that night.
The next evening, there was a storm. The musician took shelter(躲避)under a large tree next to a big house. Thunder made a loud noise and lightning lit up the sky.
The musician looked toward the house and the warm lights inside. On the doorstep sat the white cat from the night before. It raised a small white paw(爪)as if to beckon(召唤)the musician to come over! Then he ran into the yard. A man opened the door and invited the musician inside.
Minutes later, a large branch fell to the place where he'd been because of the lightning. Inside the house, the musician ate a delicious meal with the man. Then the man asked the musician what was in his case, and the musician took out his violin and began playing. The man clapped with pleasure. "Luck has brought you here tonight!" he said. "I'm thinking of starting a band, and we need a violinist. Would you like to join us?" "I can begin tomorrow!" the musician said.
At last, the musician became a famous violinist who was known throughout the world.
1.Why did the musician go to sleep hungry that night?
A.Because he wanted to keep thin.
B.Because he gave his food to a cat.
C.Because he had no money to buy food.
D.Because he only had one meal that day.
2.What can we know about the owner of the house?
A.He was lucky. B.He was poor. C.He was kind. D.He was famous.
3.What's the main idea of the story?
A.Be kind to the cats. B.Help people in need.
C.Kindness brings luck. D.Work hard to live a better life.
