The Clever Little Bird
A little bird comes and sits under a tree. A big grey cat comes to the tree. He sees the bird.
«I must have that bird for my dinner,» the cat says. And he comes near the bird. But the little bird is very clever. She sees the grey cat and flies up into the tree.
«Good morning, Little Bird,» says the cat.
«Good morning, Grey Cat,» says the little bird from the tree.
«Good news,» says the cat.
«Good news? What news?» asks the bird.
The cat says: «Very good news! All animals are now good friends! Come down from the tree. I want to speak with you. I like you very much.»
But the little bird is very clever.
«Oh, yes,» she says. «You are my friend, I know it! You like me and I like you. But from this tree I can see the field and the village.»
«And what do you see in the village?» asks the cat.
The bird says: «I see many dogs and they are on the way to our tree.»
«Oh, dogs!» says the cat and wants to run away.
«Don’t run away. The dogs know that all animals are friends,» says the bird.
«They are villlage dogs, not town dogs. Perhaps they do not know the news,» says the cat and runs away.
