Story 5

Tired of The Same Food

"A cat wants to try different food once in a while, by helping a rat stealing cheese in the kitchen.”

“Rustle, rustle”

A group of rats went out to hunt for their food. It’s late at night. A strong wind voice can be heard. The wind carried the leaves away. I wander to find some cheese, my favorite food. My name is Ben, a normal rat who lives in sewers. Nowaday, a lot of rat died. Some of them get caught in a trap, some of them dead by starvation, and some of them eaten by our fearsome enemy, cats.

I arrived at a small house. The kitchen looks awesome, I can see a lot of food there. There must be some cheese, I suppose. Then, I sneak to the back door. Silently, silently.

“Shrug , shrug!” A voicestep! Oh no, who is it? I turned around to look. It have four legs and glowing eyes.

“CAAAAAAAAAAAT!” I yelled. Before I am able to ran away, the cat grabbed my tail. I am going to meet my end. I am going to die. That’s what I think. I closed my eyes.

“Sst. Silent. I’m not going to kill you. I need your cooperation!” said the cat.

I opened my eyes. “Cooperation? Are you not going to eat me?”

“No, I get sick of rats. I want to try different taste.”

“Then, what do you want?” I asked.

“I want cheese. Your food. It looks awesome.”

Oh, how unusual. I said to myself. So , the cat need me to steal the cheese for him, because we are more experienced in stealing cheese. In exchange, the cat will not kill me and will guard me during my mission.

We have a deal, and we move silently. We enter the house via the backdoor. The door is opened, so we can enter. Snoring sounds can be heard. That seems the owner of this house all asleep.

“Hey look! I saw a cheese!” I said, pointing to the cheese in the floor.

“Blah, rats are so stupid. That’s why your kind get caught easily. No treasure can be found without effort. Look closely. That’s a trap..” said the cat.

Ooops. The cat saved my life. How weird. To be frank, this is my second time hunting for food. I am unexperienced.

“Ok rat, I will take the lead for now on.” The cat walks past me.

“Sst! I hear footsteps!” said the cat. I can see from the shadow. It has four legs. Similar to a cat body.

“DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOG!” The cat yelled. The dog start to chase the cat, who comes to my direction. But, as soon as the dog sees me. His face turn pale.

“RATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!” He yelled and ran away to the staircase.

“I just knew that dogs afraid of rats.” Said the cat.

“Well, who knows?” I said.

Then we arrived at the kitchen. We stole some cheese, and we have a successful mission today. The cat also satisfied with the cheese.

“This is much better than rats !” he said while eating his cheese in the way.

“Yeah, so stop hunting rats, we can hunt together next time.”

“Hm. Not a bad idea.” He said.
