There was a strong young cat, which caught many mice. All the mice were afraid of him. With the passage of time, he grew old and could no longer catch mice. One day, he decided to play a trick on the mice. He lay on his back, unmoved. A mouse saw him and thought he was dead. She went to her mice friends and said, “The cat is dead! Let us dance and play!” They were very happy and began to dance and play. They jumped and danced around the cat and the cat lay without moving. Suddenly, a mouse jumped on the cat’s head. “Look at me! Come here, all of you! The bad cat is dead! Let us dance on his head!” All of a sudden, the cat jumped up and caught the silly mouse. Afraid, all the other mice ran away as quickly as they could. Mice! Don’t forget! Never believe a cat!
