The Cat and The Mouse

One day, an honest mouse made friend with a cat. They lived in the same house. Since winter would come soon, the mouse suggested that they should store some food.

     “In this way, will not get hungry in the winter,” the mouse said.

     “That’s good idea,” the cat said.

     One night, the cat and the mouse found a big pot of cheese. They were so happy about it. They carefully kept the pot in the attic of house next door.

     The cat, however was not a good friend. He wanted to have all the cheese for himself, so he tried to find away to secretly eat the cheese.

     So he spoke to kind-hearted mouse “My Friend, my nephew is sick. I have to go and visit him,” he said sadly.

“I’m sorry to hear that, my friend. Yes, of course. I think you should go and visit him. I hope your nephew will get well soon,” the mouse said.

After that, the cat quickly went to the attic and greedily ate the cheese. He ate one third of the cheese.

Three days later, the cat said to the mouse that he would visit his sister. He said that his sister had just had a new baby. Of course, the cat lied again, because he want to eat the cheese in the attic. There was only a half of cheese left.

Ten days went by, the cat wanted to eat the cheese again. So he went and talked to the mouse.

“I want visit my old grandma,” the cat told to the mouse.

“Okay. Send my best regards to her, will you?” reply the mouse.

Hurriedly the cat ran to the attic. This time, the cat greedily ate up the rest of the cheese.

When the winter come soon, the mouse finally found out that there was no cheese left. He finally realized that had lied to him all the time. He very disappointed and angry at the same time.

He cried angrily, “You are not my best friend anymore!”

From then on, the mouse and the cat were enemies.
