The Monkey
 Three clever cats lived in the house. The white
cat was big. The black cat was bigger than white cat.
The striped cat was the biggest of the three.
 One day they baked a cake for dinner.

“I will eat all the cake,” said the white cat in a loud
voice. "I will eat it alone,” said the black cat in a
louder voice. “I will eat it all by myself,” said the
striped cat in the loudest voice.
 A clever monkey lived in a tree nearby,
He was more clever than the cats. In fact, he
was the most clever monkey in the world.
 He heard what the cats said and came into
their house. The cats were busy fighting among
themselves. They did not see the monkey. The
monkey ate up the whole cake.
 At last they stopped fighting. “Where’s the cake?”
they asked. “It ran away because you made too much
noise,” said the monkey.
