LECTURE ON FRIENDSHIP
One day six little grey mice come to a lecture on friendship. The speaker is Tim the big grey
cat.
The mice sit down on the benches. They are little. The benches are little, too. Tim sits down at the
desk. Tim is big and the desk is big, too.
Tim begins him lecture. He speaks about friendship. "Mice do not like cats. But we like mice. Why
don't you like cats? Why do you run away from cats? The cats want to be friends with the mice. We must
be friends.
You live in the kitchen. We live in the kitchen, too. In the kitchen there is enough food for cats and
for mice. So let us be friends".
Tim talks and talks. The mice are tired and hungry. One mouse looks at the cat and says, "If the cat is
hungry, too, it is time to run away". And the mouse runs away. Then all the mice run away.
