WHY DO DOGS CHASE CATS?
2
Once long ago, Dog was married to Cat. They were
happy together, but every night when Dog came
home from work, Cat said she was too sick to
make him dinner. Dog was patient with this talk
for a while, but he soon got quite tired of
fixing dinner after a hard day's work. After
all, Cat just stayed home all day long. One day,
Dog told Cat he was going to work, but instead he
hid in the cupboard and watched Cat to see if she
really was sick. As soon as Cat thought Dog had
left, she started playing games with Kitten. They
laughed and ran about. Cat hadnt gone to bed to
rest. She hadnt taken any medicine for her
sickness. She wasn't sick at all. Dog jumped out
of the cupboard. When Cat saw him, she stuck a
marble in her cheek and told Dog she had a
toothache. Dog got so mad at her he started
chasing her around and around the house. Dogs
have been chasing Cats ever since.
