The other animals of the park murmur: Where on earth has one seen a cat walking and in and with a swallow? Cats are the birds' enemies. There is an old nonwritten law that dictates: duck with duck, rooster with hen, dog with dog ...

   

 

The cat has become a kind and friendly being. Nobody understands that underneath his rude and rough skin a tender heart is beating.
