The story of the cat and the rat is quite a funny story. The story starts with a brilliant cat who lived near a den. Where he lived was occupied by a group of rats. When it came to catching the rats, the cat was very careful. The cat would keep an eye on the rats at whatever chance he got.
Each time the cat caught sight of a rat, he would waste no time pouncing on it and eat the rat. Because of this, the rats were terrified of the cats. The rats all decided not to leave their little den because they felt that the cat was everywhere,
They thought that the cat was keeping a close eye on them and was waiting to bounce on them at any chance he got. However, the cat knew of their plan. He knew that the rats had planned not to leave their den. The cat knew that he couldn’t wait for them forever and so he devised a brilliant plan.
The next day, the cat climbed a shelf and he hung himself, making it seem like he was dead. When the rats saw the cat, they thought that he was dead. They all decided to leave their little den and what they saw took them by surprise.
The rats believed the cat was dead when they all saw him. They all thought that the cat had gone through some punishment. So, the rats gathered the courage to go and check if the cat was truly dead. Some of the rats came out of their den to sniff the cat’s head.
However, the cat did not move. He just laid there emotionless. Seeing this, the rats thought that the cat was dead and they all rejoiced. They were elated that the cat was dead at last. The rats were celebrating the death of the cat thinking that their oppression was over.
They sang and danced out of joy. The rats were finally free from the cat’s oppression. Now they could roam around and do what they wanted. Unbeknownst to them, the cat was looking at them. He was waiting for all the rats to leave their den so that he could pounce on them.
All the rats came out of their den and they were rejoicing. As they were celebrating, the cat jumped down from the shelve and he pounced on them. The little rats were shocked and before they could move any further, the cat attacked them.
The cat managed to attack some of them, while the rest ran back to their den. The rats all ran back to their den and they were sad and didn’t know what to do. Because of this, the rats were more attentive and they kept a close eye on the cat.
The rats all hid in their den, however, the cat was hungry for more rats. So, the cats decided to try and fool the rat once again. The cat climbed up a heap of flour and hid inside the flour heaps, sitting down quietly once the den was covered with flour.
After a while, only a few of the rats came out and they fooled each other once again. However, an old wise rat among them was very clever and he knew that this was another trick that the vat came up with. He then warned the young rats not to fall prey and be watchful.
The old wise rat told the rest that the food set up by the cat could be another trick. The wise rat’s command saved them.
