My favourite movie is cartoon “Tom and Jerry”. Tom is a cat with blue and white colour. He keeps the house for a normal family and has a very free life. His job is chasing Jerry day by day. Jerry is a brown house mouse. He usually lives in the deep cave behind the wall. Although they hate each other so much and always find ways to hurt the opponent but when Tom or Jerry falls into really dangerous situations, then both become another savior.
