A woman had a pet cat but she was very lean as the woman was poor and gave little food to the cat. One day, the lean cat saw a healthy stray cat passing by. She was surprised to see such a healthy cat. She asked her, “How it so happened are so well fed?” The healthy cat replied, “I go to the palace and steal the tasty food that is spread out on the table.” The lean cat’s mouth started watering as she heard this and decided to go to the palace herself. Her master warned her not to go when she came to know about her plan. But the cat did not listen. The next day, she went inside the palace and grabbed a chicken piece. But as soon as she did this, the cook saw her and gave her a beating. The hurt cat went running back to her master.
