ELGATO Y LA ARDILLA - THE CAT AND THE SQUIRREL

Un dia fregando los platos, observé desde la ventana que estaba en frente del fregadero y daba a nuestro jardin trasero, a un gato y una ardilla jugando. La hierba estaba bastante larga/alta, parecía una pequeña jungla. Tambien teníamos un arce majestuoso. El gato, agazapado en plan tigre entre la hierba estaba siendo tentado descaradamente por la ardilla. Le pasaba la cola por delante de su hocico, el gato daba un salto para atraparla pero ella se escurría velozmente, trepando al arce. El gato intentaba hacer lo mismo pero se quedaba a medio camino del arbol, agarrándose desesperadamente al tronco. Cabizbajo volvía a la jungla y la ardilla bajaba y volvía a tentarlo de nuevo. Estó pasó no-sé-cuantas veces. Me dió pena no tener una cámara para filmarlos porque era una escena insólita y muy de Canada.

One day that I was washing the dishes I saw through the window in front of the kitchen sink, which looked out over our backyard, a cat and a squirrel playing. The grass was quite tall. It was like a small jungle. There was also a very majestic maple tree. The cat was hiding behind the grass, tiger-like. The squirrel tempted him, shamelessly, by brushing her tail in front of his face, the cat jumped and went running after her. She quickly climbed up the maple tree. The cat tried to do the same but was left clinging for his life half way up the trunk. Sadly he came down and hid once again behind the grass. The squirrel climbed down and tempted him once again. This happened, I don't know how many times. I was sorry not to have a camera to have filmed them because it was quite a show and very Canadian.
