Once, there was a cunning cat. One day, as he came out of his hole, he a saw a cat sitting near by. The rat quickly went back to his hole. There were many other rats. The cunning rat had an idea. He asked another rat, “Friend, would you like to come along with me for a stroll? It is a very pleasant day today. I would like your company.” The other rat replied, “It will be my pleasure to accompany you. Lead on and I will follow you.” The cunning rat replied, “I cannot lead you. I am younger than you. Why don’t you lead?” So, the unsuspecting rat lead the cunning rat outside the hole. And immediately, the cat pounced upon him and killed him. The cunning rat grabbed an opportunity and ran away without the cat noticing him.
