The Cat and The Mouse

            One day, an honest mouse made friends with a cat. They lived in the same house. Soon winter would come. The mouse suggested that they should store some food. “ So we will not get hungry in winter,” the mouse said.

            “That is a good idea,” the cat said.

            One night, they found a big pot of cheese. They carefully kept the pot in the attic of the house next door. The cat was not a good friend. He wanted to have all the cheese for himself. He tired to find a way to eat all the cheese. So he said to the kind-hearted mouse. “My friend, my nephew is sick. I have to visit him,” he said sadly.

            “It is okay, my friend. I hope your nephew will get well soon,” the mouse said.

            But the cat quickly went too eat the cheese in the attic. He ate one third of the cheese.

             Three days later, the cat said he would visit her sister. The sister had just a new baby. But he lied. He went to eat the cheese. There was only a half of the cheese left.

           Ten days went by. The cat wanted to eat the cheese again.”I want to visit my grandma,” the cat told the mouse. This time, the cat greedily ate up the rest of the cheese.

            When the winter came, the mouse finally out that there was no cheese left. He knew that the cat had lied to him all the time. The mouse was very angry.

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

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