The Cat and The Fox

One day, a cat and a fox were discussing about hounds.

The cat said,
“I hate hounds. They are very nasty animals. They hunt and kill us”.
“Yes you know, i hate hounds more than you”, said fox angrily.

Then they both discussed about some tricks how to get away from the
hounds. The cat asked the fox,
“How do you save yourself from hounds?”. The fox replied,
“There are many tricks to get away from hounds”, replied the fox arrogantly.
“Can you say what your tricks are?”, asked the cat impatiently.
“They are very simple”, said the fox.
“I can hide behind thick bushes. I can run along thorny hedges. I can hide in
burrows. And there are many more such tricks”.
“What about your trick?”
“How many tricks do you know?”, asked the fox to the cat.
“I know just one trick”, replied the cat calmly.
“Ohhh! How sad! And how poor you are!”, sneered the fox.
“You know only one trick? What is it?”, asked the fox curiously.

The cat was about to answer. But suddenly, a flock of hounds approach to the
place where the cat and the fox stayed. The cat said,
“I am going to do it now. Because the hounds are coming”.
Saying these words, the cat ran up a nearby tree to save from the hounds.

On the other hand, the fox tried all his tricks but all his tricks were not
successful. The hounds beat him easily. Fortunately, the cat can save herself.
She said to herself proudly “My one trick is better than all his tricks”.

The moral value of this story is by having more knowledge and competence
we can save our life. In this story, the cat knows that the hounds can not climb
the tree.
