Once upon a time, in a quiet village, there were three mischievous cats named Felix, Milo, and Luna. One day, while playing near an old oak tree, they spotted a tiny bird sitting on a low branch. The bird chirped happily, unaware of the three cats eyeing it hungrily.
Felix, being the oldest, thought he had the right to catch the bird first. He crouched low, ready to pounce. Milo, the fastest, darted forward before Felix could even move. However, Luna, the cleverest of the three, quickly blocked Milo’s path. All three cats began to argue loudly, each claiming that the bird belonged to them.
Felix insisted, “I’m the strongest, so the bird is mine!” Milo countered, “I’m the quickest! I saw it first!” Luna smirked and said, “But I’m the smartest. I’ll figure out the best way to catch it!” The bird, noticing the commotion, became frightened and fluttered to a higher branch, just out of their reach.
The cats paused, realizing they had scared the bird. “If we keep fighting, none of us will get it,” Luna pointed out. Reluctantly, they agreed to work together. Felix used his strength to shake the branch, Milo prepared to catch the bird as it flew, and Luna directed their efforts.
But as they put their plan into action, the bird took one last look at the quarreling cats and flew far away, disappearing into the sky. The three cats sat in silence, watching the bird fly off, realizing they had lost their chance because of their greed and arguing. From that day on, they learned to share and never let their selfishness get in the way of friendship again.
