“How can you be so unfair?” asked the cat, “You are deciding that I am unfit merely because I happen to be a cat! You must know a person’s qualities.” “I guard the little nestlings here on this tree,” said the vulture, “You are a cat and a natural enemy of these birds. If you come near, I will kill you.” “Sir, living here on the banks of this holy river, I have become a brahmachari. I do not eat meat. I have heard these birds praise you so much, so I wish to learn the scriptures and religious law from you. Besides, everyone says that guests must be treated with proper hospitality,” said the cat. Finally, the persuasive cat managed to convince the poor vulture that it was reformed. So, he permitted the cat to visit him.
