THE PIOUS CAT

The cat, on hearing this, opened his eyes and said: "I have given up my evil nature. I will not kill anybody. I do not eat meat.

I speak only the truth. I want to find God."

Hearing these words, the hare and the sparrow were impressed. But they sat at some distance from him and told him about the case.

The cat said: "My dear friends, I am a little deaf.If I do not hear what you say properly, I may give a wrong judgment. Then I shall have to go to hell. Please therefore come nearer and state your case more clearly. I promise I shall do no harm."

The hare and the sparrow shed their suspicion and went and sat near the cat. At once the cat pounced upon them, and caught one with his mouth and the other with his sharp paws and ate them up.
