A few days later, when the bush rat came to the bat’s place for dinner, the bat got a pot of water. He told the rat that it was boiling water. He jumped into the water and came out after some time. In reality, it was simply a pot of warm water. After some time, he served to the rat the soup to the rat that he had made beforehand. The soup tasted as good as ever. The bush rat was very impressed and decided to make a similar soup himself.
