【译文】
他开始往回走，他又走过了布满阳光的山丘和寒冷的山谷，他要把所有这些漂亮的小猫给老奶奶看。
无数的小猫跟在他的后面，乌压压的一片，特别好玩儿。
他们走到一个池塘边。
“喵，喵！我们好渴啊！”上百只、千万只、百万只、十亿只、万亿只小猫叫唤着。
“好吧，这里有很多水呢，”老爷爷说。
每只小猫只喝了一小口水，池塘就见底了！
“喵，喵！现在我们饿了！”上百只、千万只、百万只、十亿只、万亿只小猫叫唤着。
“山坡上有很多草可以吃，”老爷爷说。
每只猫吃了一口草，山坡上就一点草也不剩了。
很快老奶奶就看到他们回来了。
“我的天啊！”老奶奶叫道，“你在干嘛啊？我只是想要一只小猫，可我现在看到了什么？
这里有猫，那里有猫，
大猫小猫，到处都是猫。
成百上千只猫，
成千上万只猫，
百万十亿万只猫。”
“但是我们不可能养所有的猫，”老奶奶说，“他们会把我们家吃垮的。”
“我从来没想过这回事，”老爷爷说，“我们该怎么办呢？”
老奶奶想了一会儿后说：“我知道了！让这些猫自己来决定我们该养哪只猫吧。”
“哦，好吧，”老爷爷说，然后他向那些小猫喊道，“你们之中谁最好看？”
“我！”
“我！”
“不，是我！”
“不对，我才是最漂亮的！”
“我！”
“不，我才是最漂亮的！是我！是我！”无数小猫接连不断的喊道，因为他们都觉得自己最漂亮。
于是，他们开始争吵、打架。
它们相互撕咬抓扯，吵得天翻地覆，老爷爷和老奶奶只好赶紧躲进了屋子。
