% Version  : Especial.
% English  : 1)  The only animals in this house are cats.
%            2)  Every animal is suitable for a pet, that loves to gaze at
%                the moon.
%            3)  When I detest an animal, I avoid it.
%            4)  No animals are carnivorous, unless they prowl at night.
%            5)  No cat fails to kill mice.
%            6)  No animals ever take to me, except what are in this house.
%            7)  Kangaroos are not suitable for pets.
%            8)  None but carnivora kill mice.
%            9)  I detest animals that do not take to me.
