Caught on camera 偷拍記
Kathleen was watching TV one day when a news report about Missy Mouse came on.
"Not again. All I hear about is Missy Mouse," Kathleen said. "Mark, let's go to the beach where we can relax."
"Sounds good to me," Mark said. "Let me change into my swimming trunks."
Kathleen and Mark packed their bags and hopped onto the bus. It was a sunny day, so the beach was crowded.
"How about we rent a boat?" Kathleen suggested. "We can go to that island across the bay. Nobody lives there, so it should be very quiet."
Mark paid for the boat and they set sail for the island. When they got there Kathleen put on her bikini and sunglasses and began sunbathing. Mark went for a swim in the ocean.
Before long, Kathleen was fast asleep. She woke up about an hour later. Mark was nowhere to be seen, but she heard some rustling in the bushes.
"Mark, come out of there. It's about time for lunch."
But there was no answer. Kathleen began to worry.
"Mark, what are you up to?"
Suddenly a man jumped out of a bush. He took a picture of Kathleen and ran away …

某天，凱薩琳看電視時，有一條新聞報導關於少女鼠上演的消息。
「不會又來了吧！我快被少女鼠的消息逼瘋了，」凱薩琳說：「馬克，我們去海灘放鬆一下。」
「聽起來不錯，」馬克說：「等我先換上我的游泳褲。」
凱薩琳和馬克帶著包包就搭公車出發了。因為這天晴空萬里，所以沙灘上擠滿了人。
「不如我們租艘船吧？」凱薩琳建議：「這樣我們就可以到對岸的島上去了，那是一個無人島，一定非常幽靜。」
馬克付了租船費用，然後他們就航向那座島了。抵達後，凱薩琳換上比基尼和太陽眼鏡，開始享受日光浴，馬克則下海游泳。

想法三：凱薩琳追上那個男人，她要求那個男人把相機交出來，他會乖乖聽話交出相機嗎？然後他會怎麼做呢？馬克又去了哪裡？
不久，凱薩琳就進入夢鄉了，她睡了大約一小時，醒來後四處都沒看到馬克，但卻聽到樹叢中的樹葉沙沙作響。
「馬克，快出來吧，午餐時間到囉。」
但沒有人應答，凱薩琳開始擔心。
「馬克，你上哪兒去了？」
忽然之間，有一個男人從樹叢中跳了出來，他朝著凱薩琳拍了一張照就跑掉了...
