Audacious philosophers who spend your life

To want to explain what one doesn't explain,

Condescend to listen, I pray you,

This feature of the wisest of the cats.

On a table of toilet,

The cat saw a mirror.

He jumps of it, watch and think first to see

One of his brothers that watches it.

Our cat wants to join it, he is decree

And pass on the other hand,

Don't find anything, comes back and the cat presents himself;

He thinks a little fear that the animal,

While he makes the tour, leaves.

On the top of the mirror, he gets on horseback,

Two paws that way, two paws by there; of the sort,

Everywhere he will be able to seize it,

Then, believing well to hold it,

Mildly toward the place he inclines the head,

Sees an ear, then two; to the instant,

On the right, on the left, he goes throwing

His claw that he holds all ready,

But he loses the balance, he falls and didn't take anything.

Then, without waiting more,

Without looking more for a long time

What he cannot understand,
