The Sly Cat
An eagle, a cat and a sow (female pig) all lived in the same tree. The eagle had made its nest on the topmost branches, the cat and her kittens lived in a hollow halfway down the tree, and the sow lived at the foot of the tree.
One day the cat said to the eagle, "Be careful! I've heard the sow is planning to raid your nest while you are away and carry away your chicks to feed to her piglets."
The eagle turned pale and from the next day on stopped going out to hunt. Then the sly cat said to the sow, "Have you noticed? The eagle has stopped going out. I've heard she's planning to feed your helpless piglets to her chicks while you're away. Be warned!"
The sow too stopped going out to feed. In a few days the young ones of both the eagle and the sow died of hunger. The sorrowing parents went away and the cat and her family had a feast.
Moral: Beware of mischief-makers.
