The Cat And The Mice

---

A house was overrun with Mice. A Cat found his way into the house, and began to catch them. The Mice saw that matters were bad, and said:

“Mice, let us not come down from the ceiling! The Cat cannot get up there.”

When the Mice stopped coming down, the Cat decided that he must catch them by a trick. He grasped the ceiling with one leg, hung down from it, and made believe that he was dead.

A Mouse looked out at him, but said:

“No, my friend! Even if you should turn into a bag, I would not go up to you.”
