I think this may be the single greatest new story I have ever read. I mean, the headline alone!

Cat Army Annihilates Destructive Rats:

A group of villagers recently prepared a sumptuous fish banquet for more than 200 cats to thank them for eradicating rats from their farmland.

Yangmei villagers in Sanjiang Township of Xinhui District in the city of Jiangmen, Guangdong Province, are expecting a good harvest this year thanks to the hard-working cats.

The village committee spent more than 12,000 yuan (US$1,500) to buy more than 200 cats, which they released onto farmland to help wipe out the rat problem.

Sanjiang Village has 86.67 hectares of rice fields and 13.33 hectares of other crops and suffered from a rat infestation after most of the snakes were caught and slaughtered by local villagers in previous years.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'd only choose between them based on the rhythm of the entire sentence.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, it depends what XYZ is, too. "As a member of the Dutch National Society of Bird Callers...." vs "As a Brown Cow Club member..."

Our Easter sermon was all on Hope.

Ours was about the resurrected Christ living in those around us and how we treat them.

Ours was entitled, "Rolling Stones."

Ours was "Are You Running? (for Jesus)"
