An inexperienced little mouse set off on a journey. He saw a rooster by the side of the oath crowing loudly. The mouse had not seen a Rooster before and so was afraid of its sharp beak, big nails and red crest. He ran away from the rooster as fast as he could.
Further on the mouse saw a cat. "What a handsome animal," the mouse thought. Soft fur striking eyes and a soft meow.
As the cat's belly was full it did not chase the mouse.
When the little mouse got back home, he told his mother about what all he had seen and his views.
" You silly mouse," said his mother. "Never go by appearances. The terrible animal you saw was a harmless rooster, whilst the fine looking cat is our enemy and eats us at the slightest opportunity!"
