Once upon a time, there was a cat in a village. He was very wicked. He was also a killer.

Because of this, no other animals wanted to get near where he lived.

1

The rest of the animals had a meeting about him.

They all agreed to drive him away from their village.

2

As a result, he went to settle in a deep forest and lived there alone.

No animal talked with him.

3

He was very sad because all his friends had neglected him.

There was nothing he could do about it.

4

As a result of this, he decided to kill any animal that came his way.

But there was a big tree in the forest which bore many fruits.

5

Duck and snake usually went there to eat the fruits when cat was not around.

6

One day, cat caught them and forgave them.

He said, "Eat as many as you like, the tree belong to all of us."
