Why Cats and Dogs Fight

 Why Cats and Dogs Fight

Long, long ago there were only to people in the earth.
They were Da Maria and Ba Indo. The couple had four animals.
The cow and the horse worked in the field.
They pulled firewood from the mountain.
They carried water from the river.
They lived in the stable near the couple’s house.

But the dog and the cat did not work.
The dog was very loyal.
He licked the hand and feet of his masters.
He wagged his tail whenever he saw them.
The cat was very clean.
She washed herself often.
She licked her fur and sunned herself.
They lived, slept, and ate in the house.

The dog sensed the cow and the horse did not like them.
So he talked with the cat.

“Friend cat, our masters are getting old.
Are you not afraid what would happen to us?”

“What do you mean friend dog?”

“Those two beasts do not like us.
What will happen to us if our masters are gone?”

“Leave that to me!” said the cat.
“I have thought of this before.
We will stay as we are.
We shall never work!”

“How shall we do it?
Those two animals are huge.
They would kill us!”

“I had prepared this paper.
Let us ask our master to sign it.”

“What does that document say?
How will it help us?”

“This paper says we shall be the new masters.
Those two animals will work for us forever.”

The old couple signed the paper.
They told the cow and the horse about it.
The cow and the horse got angrier.

“Let us steal the paper!
Let us destroy it,” said the Cow.

But the dog and the cat were to wise.
The dog buried the paper.
The cow and the horse did not stop looking for the paper.

“Let us ask the rat to help us.
The rat knows every corner of the house,” said the horse

And the rat sniffed here and there.
She looked every into every corner of the house.
She looked every corner of the garden.
And the art found the paper.

The horse neighed and neighed.
The cow mowed and mowed.
The rat squeaked and squeaked.
The cat and the dog went out to find out what the noise is all about.

“New masters of the house eh?” said the horse.
“Looked what we shall do with this paper!” said the cow.

And the cow and the horse trampled the paper.
The rat gnawed at it.
And the paper was gone.

“You fool!” cried the cat to the dog.
“Why did you hide that paper in the garden?”

And the cat clawed the dog.
The dog chased the cat.
And the fight began.
Up to now, the cat and the dog were never friends.
