Long ago I read the Chinese version of the joke. I like this joke very much.But I never expected that Japanese has "Wan Wan" or "One One" for "Woof!Woof!". Coincidentally, my native language Chinese also uses "One One" or "Wang Wang" to imitate the dog's barking. I like this simple but interesting joke. Richard Hi,Clarissa.

Well, I think the joke is supposed to be the same in Japanese and English. There's no pun on "wan wan," just the idea that the mouse is speaking in dog "language" to the cat, who's scared of it. (But I bet you could write a joke based on "one one" somehow...) Hi, Ei! Well, I think the joke is supposed to be the same in Japanese and English.
