The Fox and the Cat – Let’s Read
In a beautiful forest, there lived a clever fox and a cat. The fox was very proud of himself.
He thought he was the smartest animal in the forest and often boasted about his cleverness to anyone who would listen.
One fine morning, the fox spotted the cat resting near a tall oak tree. He decided to show off his wit once again. “Good morning, Cat,” he said with a sly smile. “How are you today?”
The cat, always polite and friendly, replied, “I’m doing well, Fox. What about you?”
The fox puffed up his chest. “Oh, I’m fantastic, as usual. Do you know why? Because I have a hundred tricks to escape from danger! What about you? How many do you have?”
The cat, being humble and honest, said, “Just one, Fox. But it’s a good one.”
The fox burst out laughing. “One trick? That’s all? Poor Cat! I have so many ways to save myself.
I could run, hide, or even outsmart any enemy. You should learn from me!”

The cat just smiled softly and said, “It’s good to have tricks, but let’s hope you don’t need all hundred of them at once.”
Just then, the sound of barking echoed through the forest. The fox froze, and the cat’s ears stood up. A pack of hunting dogs was heading their way!
Without wasting a second, the cat sprang up the oak tree, climbing swiftly to the highest branch.
She nestled herself safely among the leaves, her heart pounding but her body secure.
Meanwhile, the fox began pacing back and forth. “What do I do? What do I do?” he muttered. “Should I hide in that bush? No, it’s too small.
Should I run to the river? No, it’s too far! Maybe I should pretend to be a log…”
While the fox struggled to choose one of his many tricks, the barking grew louder. Suddenly, the dogs appeared, and before the fox could act, they surrounded him.
From her perch high above, the cat watched sadly as the fox’s cleverness failed him.
Quote for You
One simple solution, used at the right time, is worth more than a hundred complicated plans.
She called down softly, “Oh, Fox, sometimes one good trick is better than a hundred untested ones.”
The fox could only look up regretfully as the lesson became clear.
It’s not about how much you know; it’s about how well you use what you have. Simplicity and quick thinking can often save the day!
