NAME:
The fox was going crazy to get the cat. But she knew, as everyone does, that the cat is the greatest master jumper and there was no point in trying to catch him. With a band jump, the naughty one always got away with it. She then decided the fox was clever. She came to the cat and proposed peace:
– Enough chasing each other, master cat. Let's now live in peace!
“It's not like that, godmother fox,” corrected the cat. – It's not one who runs after the other, it's one who runs after the other, it's the "one", which is you, who runs after the "other", which is me...
– Well, anyway, let's make up, cat friend. As you are a master of jumping, I propose that, in order to celebrate our friendship agreement, you give me a course in jumping, so that I can become as much a jumper as you are. I pay you for every lesson with the tastiest rat fillets you've ever tasted! The cat accepted and the lessons began the same day. The fox was a dedicated student and the cat was a great teacher. She taught the band jump, the spiral jump, the simple somersault, the somersault-with-pirouette, the double deadly, the triple deadly and even the compound corkscrew. The fox they all learned, practiced after school, and soon he was as much a master at jumping as the cat.
He then decided that the time had come to put his sinister plan into effect. At the beginning of another class, she sneaked up behind the cat and lunged, working out the surest jump the master had taught her! And the cat? She spun from the side, rolled in the air, and the fox streaked past him, going to crash into a mastic stump.
Still dizzy from the fall, the fox turned to the cat and protested:
– But master cat, you didn't teach me that jump!
– I didn't teach or teach! That's the secret that saves me from rogues like you, godmother fox. This is the cat's jump!
