There is a kind of catfish in the coastal areas of southern my country, which specializes in trapping rats on the shore. This catfish rests during the day and forages for food at night. When it swims close to the shore, it puts its tail out of the water and leans motionless against the shore, emitting bursts of fishy smell to lure rats out for food at night. When the cunning mouse saw the fish tail floating on the water, it did not bite immediately, but first used its front paws to flick it a few times. At this time, the catfish remained motionless, making the mouse mistake it for a dead fish. Seeing that the catfish was motionless, the mouse really thought it was a dead fish, so he boldly bit the catfish's tail and dragged it to the shore.
At this time, the catfish saw that the mouse had fallen into the trap, so it used all its strength, swung its tail, and dragged the mouse into the water. Although the mouse knew the nature of water and could compete with the catfish in the water, it was helpless that it was not as strong as the catfish. The catfish also lacks the advantage of being able to dive into the water for a long time. The result of a life-and-death struggle is that the catfish has the upper hand. At this time, the catfish gives full play to its advantage in the water, using its serrated teeth to bite the mouse and drag it underwater. The mouse cannot breathe underwater, and after struggling for a while, it drowns alive and becomes the catfish's delicacy.
