At first, only a few animals intended to race, but when the heard what honor they could receive
By wining, they decided to participate.
Rat was best friends with Cat in those days, and he asked Cat whether to race . “Of course,” agreed Cat right away. “l will then be revered for my speed and agility”.
“Ah,” said Rat, “but it takes more than speed to win a race .One must have wits.”
Cat scoffed. “Bah, who needs wits?” Cat was so sure of himself that Rat began to plan a way to win
The race and to teach Cat a little humility at the sometime.
