A cat had been very hungry since the past few days. She had been unsuccessful in catching sufficient prey. One day, the cat heard that there were a couple of birds who had been really ill and were in search of a doctor.
So, the cat made a plan and put on a coat and a stethoscope, heading off to see the birds. Arriving there, he knocked on the door and asked how the birds were.
The birds began to laugh looking at the cat playing pretend. “We are good, and will be even better if you stay far from our home” they chirped closing the door on the poor cat’s face.
Foolish advances should be instantly shunned.
