Meet Kathleen the mouse and Mark the elephant. Kathleen is very brave and likes adventure, but Mark is very shy and scared of many things. But friends stay together, so Mark follows Kathleen wherever she goes. Sometimes they get into some very sticky situations.
見見老鼠凱薩琳和大象馬克。凱薩琳非常勇敢又喜歡冒險，但馬克的個性十分害羞，對許多事情都感到害怕。不過，朋友都喜歡黏在一塊兒，所以凱薩琳走到哪兒，馬克就會跟到哪兒。有時候，他們也會碰上非常棘手的情況...
A daring escape: part II (險境逃生II)
Mark and Kathleen were still trapped in the Science Lab for the third straight day.
While no longer in small cages, Mark and Kathleen were still locked in a dim room. An operating table in the middle of the room stood next to a table covered with pills, a syringe and scalpels.
"I've had enough of this!" Kathleen exclaimed. "Whatever it takes, I'm going to find a way out of here!"
"That won't be necessary," said Terry the tiger as he walked through the doorway into the room.
Mark fidgeted. "Why, are you going to hurt us?" he squeaked.
Terry sighed. "I was going to use Kathleen as a lab rat and test dangerous medicines on her."
"Over my dead body," Kathleen mumbled.
"I've been thinking about it," Terry said as he wiped a tear from his eye, "and I just don't have the heart to hurt anyone."
"You could have fooled me," said Kathleen.
"I'm letting you go," said Terry. "I'm sorry for the trouble I've caused."
"Not so fast," called a different voice. Terry, Mark and Kathleen looked up to see Carol the crow, the most feared animal in town. She carried a bottle marked "untested medicine" ...

馬克和凱薩琳已經被困在科學實驗室裡三天了。
雖然他們不再被困在小籠子裡，但仍被關在陰暗的室內。房間中央的手術台旁，是一個擺滿藥丸、注射器與手術刀的檯桌。
「我受不了了！」凱薩琳說︰「不管怎樣，我一定要想辦法離開這裡！」
老虎泰瑞走進房門時，說︰「不必麻煩了。」
馬克感到坐立難安。他尖聲叫著說︰「為什麼？你想傷害我們嗎？」
泰瑞嘆氣說︰「我原本是想拿凱薩琳當實驗老鼠，好測試危險藥品。」
凱薩琳喃喃地說︰「除非我死了，否則休想！」
「我一直在想，」泰瑞拭去眼角的淚滴說︰「我就是無法傷害別人。」
凱薩琳說︰「你一定是在騙我。」
「我會放你們走，」泰瑞說︰「很抱歉造成你們麻煩。」
另一個聲音傳來︰「別急！」泰瑞、馬克和凱薩琳都抬頭看著烏鴉卡洛—城裡最駭人的動物。卡洛拿著一罐標示著「未測試藥品」的瓶子‥‥‥
