The Cat And The Rooster
Aesop Fable: The Cat And The Rooster
A cat caught a Rooster, and pondered how he might find a
reasonable excuse for eating him. He accused him of being
a nuisance to men by crowing in the nighttime and not
permitting them to sleep.
The Rooster defended himself by
saying that he did this for the benefit of men, that they
might rise in time for their labors.
The Cat replied, "Although
you abound in specious apologies, I shall not remain
supperless"; and he made a meal of him.
