The Cat and the Fox
Once upon a time, there was a cat and a fox living together in the same forest. The cat was very clever and could always outsmart the fox. One day, the fox saw a piece of tasty meat and wanted to eat it, but he couldn't reach it. The cat saw what was happening and came over to help. The fox tried to trick the cat by saying, "I'll give you half of the meat if you let me keep the rest." But the cat knew the fox's tricks and refused his offer. Together, they reached for the meat and managed to grab it. From then on, the cat and the fox became good friends, working together to find food in the forest.
