    Once upon a time, in a cozy house, lived a small, clever mouse. He was quick and cunning, always managing to outsmart the house cat.

    In the same house, lived a big, fat cat. She was always on the prowl, trying to catch the mouse, but the mouse was always one step ahead.

    One day, the cat devised a plan. She thought she could catch the mouse by placing a bowl of milk near the mouse hole.

    The mouse, drawn by the smell of the milk, ventured out of his hole. He was excited to see the bowl of milk, unaware of the cat's plan.

    Just as the mouse bent down to drink the milk, the cat pounced. But the mouse was quick. He jumped away, escaping the cat's claws.

    After that close call, the mouse realized that he was no longer safe in the house. He decided to be more careful and never fall for the cat's tricks.

    From that day, the mouse became more alert. He used his cleverness and agility to avoid any danger from the cat.

    The cat was disappointed that her plan had failed. However, she didn't give up on trying to catch the mouse.

    The mouse, in his own way, taught a lesson of alertness and cleverness. He showed that size doesn't matter if one is smart and quick-witted.

    Meanwhile, the cat learned that not all plans work. She realized that she needed to be more cunning to catch the clever mouse.
