The Cat and the Fox
It happened that the cat met the fox in the forest, and she thought to herself, “He is clever and full
of experience, and much esteemed in the world”. She spoke to him in a friendly way, “Good day dear Mr.
Fox, How are you? How is all with you? How are you getting on in these hard times? “.
The fox, full of arrogance, looked at the cat from head to foot, and for long time did not know
whether he would give any answer or not. At last he said, “Oh, you wretched beard-cleaner, you are fool,
you hungry mouse-hunter, what can you be thinking of? Have you the cheek to ask how I am getting on?
What have you learnt? How many arts do you understand?”
“I understand but one,” replied the cat, modestly.
“What art is that” ask the fox.
“When the wolves are following me, I can spring into a tree and save myself.”
“Is that all?” said the fox, “I am master of a hundred arts, and have into the bargain a sack full of
cunning. You make me feel sorry for you how people get away from the wolves.”
Just then some wolves came. The cat sprang nimbly up a tree, and sat down at the top of it, where
the branches and foliage quite concealed her.
“Open your sack, Mr. Fox, open your sack,” cried the cat to him, but the wolves had already
seized him, and were holding him fast.
“Ah, Mr. fox“, cried the cat, “You with your hundred arts are left in the lurch! Had you been able
to climb like me, you would not have lost your life”.

BANDUNG: Thousands of people who had fled from their houses located on the slopes of
smoldering Mount Gamkonora on Halmahera Island, North Maluku Province, could return to their homes
after the authorities downgraded the volcano’s top-alert status on Monday.
The Head of the Volcanology Centre and Geology Disaster Mitigation Agency, Surono, said that
the returning residents still could not get within three kilometers area of the volcano in Ibu district, West
Halmahera regency.
The alert status for the volcano was downgraded because the volcano had shown less volcanic
activity. Since 10th July, only two small tectonic quakes measuring below 2 of the Richter scale were
recorded in the mountain and the volcano did not burst out hot lava or other volcanic materials from its
crater.
“Compared to the last Monday’s explosion, wherein the ash spewed about 4,000 above the crater,
it is now only about 10 meters high,” Surono told the journalists in Bandung on Monday.
Following the volcano’s increased activity last week, which led authorities to put it in the top
alert status, around 10,000 residents in Ibu district fled to safety. Most of the residents were taking shelter
in South Ibu and Central Ibu district.
Surono warned the people not to get close to the volcano because small emissions of smoke could
throw materials from the volcano’s crater.
 The 1,635-metre volcano has erupted 12 times since records have been kept. The last time ash and
smoke streamed out of the volcano was in 1987. No casualties were reported.
