Hi, students. Today, I'm going to tell you a story about a cat named Piran. Piran helped save its owner's life. The cat's owner is an old woman. She is 83 years old, and she lives in England.
One day, the woman was walking near her house. Then, she fell down a ravine. The ravine was very steep. She fell about 20 meters down the steep ravine!
有一位83歲的英國老太太掉下20公尺深的陡峭山谷。
People found out the old woman was missing. But they didn't know where she was because they couldn't see her.
人們知道老太太失蹤了，但是不知道她在哪裡。
Later, someone saw the woman's black cat near the ravine. Piran kept meowing. The person who saw the cat was the old woman's neighbor. The neighbor knew that Piran belonged to the old woman. So, she called for help.
後來有人看到她的黑貓坐在山谷附近，不停的喵喵叫，於是打電話給救難人員求救。
People then climbed down the ravine and saved the woman. They put her in a helicopter and took her to a hospital.
救難人員發現了老太太，把她送上直升機去醫院，救了她一命。
Some people think black cats bring bad luck. They think if a black cat walks in front of you, you will have bad luck. Piran was not unlucky at all. He saved his owner's life!
有人認為黑貓不吉利，但是黑貓Piran對老太太來說，是個吉祥物！
