"mouse and cat," a farable of Jesop

 
  A farable of Jesop 

“mouse and cat”

 A lion and a mouse went on a journey. They had become friends and were friends until they argued along the way and decided to part company. The lion went home. The mouse went on but soon was lost and soon after baked into a pie.
     “I blame myself,” the cat said when she heard. Only she did not.
