mongoose came there. He wanted to kill the mouse. As he lifted his head, he
saw an owl sitting on a tree trying to catch him. The mongoose went very near
the cat's net to save himself. The mouse thought "When the hunter takes away
the cat, the mongoose will not spare me and the owl is there to enjoy both of
us." The Mouse went to the cat and said, "I can cut the net if you promise to
save my life from the mongoose and the owl." The cat agreed. The mouse
started cutting the net slowly and freed the cat only when the hunter was just
near the cat. The cat took to heels and so ran the mongoose too. The owl was
very much disappointed to see even the mouse running away to safety. A few
days later, the cat being hungry, went to the hole of the mouse and requested
him to come out for a game. The mouse replied, "I sought friendship and saved
you to save my life." Now you can go home.
