This story is about a wealthy merchant who owned an extraordinary cat. He went through several name changes for the cat as different people pointed out things stronger than the cat's current name. First it was called Sky, then Cloud, then Wind, then Mouse, and finally it was named Cat after a boy remarked that a cat is stronger than a mouse. The story shows how the merchant learned his lesson to not be too proud and to realize there is usually something stronger.

Once upon a time, there was every
wealthy but naughty merchant who
lived in a partial home. This merchant
had a cat which he thought was an
extraordinary animal. He decided to
name it Sky.

7. i
One day, he showed off his
remarkable pet to a friend and said,
“This is the strongest cat in the world.’’
His friend shook his head thoughtfully
and said. “Allow me to point out to you
that there is something stronger than
sky. Look at the clouds, they can cover
and hide the sky.”

“ You are right ,” said the merchant.
“from now on, I am going to give an
extraordinary cat name Cloud.”
Sometimes later, another merchant
called at his house to talk business.
“Why is it that you call this remarkable
creature Cloud? There is something that
the clouds. I mean the wind that
scatters the clouds before it.”

So from then on he called the cat
“Wind .” A month passed. The Mayor of
the City noticed the extraordinary cat.
“Wind,” he said, “seems to me a
name that is unworthy . The wind meets
its master everyday. I mean the wall
because the wind cannot blow through
it.”

A little later, the merchant son, who
was a scholar remarked that there is
something stronger than a wall.” The
mouse can riffle a hole through it.”
“That is true, I will name my cat, Mouse,
said the merchant.
Just then the gardener’s little son
happened to pass by. “ Mouse,” he
exclaimed.

11. i
Laughing as hard as he could. “I
know something much stronger
than mouse. The cat who catches
the mouse and eats him up.”
At this remark, the merchant
saw his folly. From then on, he
called the animal Cat.
