An Old Bird is not caught with Chaff
A black cat happened to wander into a warehouse, where mice lived.
“This is the place for me,’ thought the cat. ‘I’ll pretend to be dead.’ And the cat lay down on the ground. The younger mice ran towards it shouting, ‘There’s a dead cat.’ But a wise
old mouse stopped them and said, ‘Don’t you know that a cat has nine lives?’ Then the old mouse climbed up above the cat and chewed open a huge sack of flour that was resting on a large bin. The flour poured out and covered the cat, which lay still for a moment. Then, there came a sneeze, and out of the flour, came a white cat.
