during the cat's absence the mouse cleaned the house, and put it in order but the greedy cat entirely emptied the pot of fat.
趁着猫不在家,老鼠把屋子打扫了一下,把东西放得整整齐齐。可是那只馋猫把剩下的猪油吃得干干凈凈。
i realise that this has an incongruous sound, when applied to such stories as that of the little pig at the stile or of the greedy cat who ate up man and beast.
