A clever cat was put in charge of a house that was infested with mice. The cat made her way around the house, snatching up every mouse in view. Fearful, the mice retreated to their holes. The cat, no longer able to capture her prey, jumped on top of a table to play dead. One mouse took a peek from its hole, saw the cat’s tail and stated, “I wouldn’t come near you even if you were cooking in an oven.”
