what is the name of a chinese story about a boy who drew pictures of cats on a monastery wall to kill rats?

When I was a boy in the mid eighties I remember listening to Story Teller audio tapes. One story that always stuck with me was a kind of horror story about a young monk who had to stay overnight, on his own, in a monastery. All the people who stayed before him ended up waking in the morning scratched by rats. The boy drew pictures of cats on the walls and they protected him. In the morning bodies of rats were spread all over the floor. Does anyone else remember this story?

1. Kill Bill or something like that... but not only rats...
2. I remember this story!!!!!! I think it was called "the boy who drew cats" He had to hide in a cupboard and heard a lot of awful noise during the night. I often think of that story as a great example of serendipity!
