the cat and the mice

A cat that, weakened by age and therefore no longer able to hunt mice, thought of a way to attract them within reach of its paws. To do so, he hung himself by his hind legs on a small stake, thinking the mice would have mistaken him for a bag or, at the very least, for a dead cat, risking getting close to him. The first mouse that showed up for a look was prudent enough to keep to the distance: 'I've seen many bags in my life,' he whispered to a friend, 'but none with the head of cat!


The other mouse, for its part, said to the cat:
─ Hang there as long as you like, but I'm not going to get close. You're not smart enough for us.
