What are the most common languages spoken in the world today

The Importance of Learning Languages

Once a little mouse, who was not on very good term with cats like all mice, decided to give herself a treat of cheese. To do this she had to cross over to the other side of the kitchen where the table was. She knew the cheese was there because she could feel its wonderful smell. But the mouse wasn’t sure if there were any cats in the house. So she sat inside the wall near the mouse hole and listened. It should be mentioned that our mouse was not an ordinary one. She was a sort of gifted and she had some logic. She was taught to think twice before doing something. That was why she didn’t hurry. At last she heard some barking. The mouse thought, ”It must be a dog. Dogs don’t eat mice, and cats don’t usually live where dogs are. It means I can get to the chees safely”. That was absolutely logical. But to the mouse’s great surprise as soon as she got out of the mouse hole she was attacked by a big cat and eaten in some time. The thing is that it was the cat who was barking. “Indeed, knowing foreign languages can open new possibilities and give you a wider picture of the world,” said the cat to himself and made off murmuring a bird’s song.
