A Fatal Tale
'What are you doing?' asked the cat.
'I'm hiding,' said the partially blind mouse.
'What are you hiding from?' inquired the cat.
'Cats' whispered the mouse.
'But I'm a cat,' purred the cat.
'YIKES !' yelped the mouse.
'It's okay,' smiled the cat, 'I'm not very hungry at the moment'
But it was too late - the partially blind mouse, presuming the worst, had thrown himself from the tree and was now lying dead on the pavement below.
