Gleanings from Chinese folklore, How the Dog and Cat Came to Be Enemies, sentence 77

The cat mewed at the door, and when the old lady opened it and saw her with the lost treasure, she caught her up, made a big fuss over her, took her in the house, and shut the door, thus leaving the dog out in the court; as she did not know how much he had helped the cat, she did not pay any attention to him.

Who acts: old lady, cat, frog · What happens: mew, open, see, lose, catch up, make · To what, where: cat, door, lady, big fuss, house, dog
