The Hypocritical Cat

Cat Watching the Rat Line
Source: Pinterest

- There was this group of rats that lived by the river in a whole
- This one cat was watching them for some time and really longed to eat the rats
- So the cat had to come up with a plan on how to trap the rats so he could actually be powerful enough to eat the rats
-The cat came up with a plan were he stood close to the hole and would act like he was praising the sun and only feeding off the air
- The cat wanted it to seem like he was the best thing there was, this worked because each morning after that the rats came by to praise the cat for who he was
- After a few days of this pattern the cat finally took to his plan and started to eat the last rat in the line that goes by him
- After a few weeks of this the chief of the rat troop noticed that his army was starting to get a lot smaller and the chief started to get really suspicious
- The chief now posted himself at the end of the line and was watching the cat the whole time and he noticed the cat was starting to get greedy once the chief was coming up
- As the chief passed by the cat started to pounce on the chief but the chief caught him in time and escaped
- The chief then jumped on the cat and attacked his throat
- The rest of the troops saw this and ran over and attacked the cat and the rats ended up eating the cat

The Dishonest Friend

- There was this friend that had to leave for a little while and asked his friend to watch his farm and his plow
- The friend promised to watch over everything and to keep everything safe while the friend was gone
- However, the friend was not trustful as soon as the guy left the friend took the plow from the farm and sold the plow
- Once the plow was sold the friend took the money and pocketed the money
- When the friend came back and asked for his plow back the friend came up with a far fetched excuse as to what happened to the plow
- The excuse was that a really big rat came and ate the plow and took it away
- The friend did not believe this and so he came up with a plan to get his plow back to him
- The friend took the dishonest friends son for a walk and basically kidnapped the son and returned to say his son was taken by a really big hawk
- The dishonest friend did not believe this and so the dishonest friend took him to the town judge to sort all of this out
- The judge caught onto the fake story the friend told the dishonest friend so the judge told the dishonest friend to give the friends plow back and he could have his son back
- So after all the dishonest friend gave the friend back his plow and the friend returned back his son and everyone was back to being happy
