The Cat and the Mouse in Partnership

A cat got to know a mouse, and spoke so much of the great love and friendship she felt for her, that at last the Mouse agreed to live in the same house with her, and to go shares in the housekeeping.
‘But we must store up food for the winter or else we shall be hungry,’ said the Cat. ‘And You, little Mouse, cannot venture everywhere in case you run into a trap.’
This good advice was followed, and a little pot of fat was bought. But they did not know where to put it.
At length, after long discussion, the Cat said, ‘I know of no place where it could be better put than in the church.No one will trouble to take it away from there. We will hide it in a corner, and we won’t touch it till we really need it.’
