Once there lived a monkey and a cat together with an old man in an old hut. They were good friends. One evening, they were warming themselves by the fire. They could smell the delicious smell of the chestnuts that were roasting in the flames.The monkey became so hungry that he tried to pick a chestnut out of the fire. ‘ Ouch ’ he complained. ‘That‘s too hot! I can’t get it!’’ Then he looked cunningly at the cat and said, ‘I have a plan. You are so much braver than me. A bit of pain won’t worry you. If you put your paw into the fire and pull out the chestnuts, we can share them.’ The cat likes the monkey and decided to put her paw into the fire, just as her friend had asked her to do. The cat began pulling the chestnuts out of the fire. But as fast as she pulled them out, the monkey grabbed them and gobbled them up without leaving any for the kind cat. The old man saw the hurt cat. He picked up the cat and bandaged her burnt paw. ‘Oh, you poor old puss,’ he said. I hope you have learned a lesson from this.’
