The cat and the fox
One day, a cat hiked on a mountain. When he reached the peak, he
met a fox.
They began talking about how they get away from their enemies.
“I am very smart. I have billions of ideas. I can carve a tiny hole in a
tree, and then climb in,” the fox said.
He added, “I have a lot of friends. If I am in trouble, I can call them to
lend their help.
I can escape an entire army if I have to!”
Then, the fox asked, “What are your potential plans?” The cat said, “I
have only one plan.”
The fox said, “ I hope you have good fortune, then! Do you want me to
be your tutor? I can teach you many things.”
The cat said, “ I guarantee that my plan works every time. We can quit
talking about it.”
Soon, they saw a group of wolves. It was an emergency. The cat
quickly used her plan.
She ran up a tree. The fox could not decide which plan to use. “What
should my initial move be?
Should I consult my friends?” The fox felt intense anxiety. All he could
do was spin in a circle. The wolves caught the fox.
The cat was full of pride. This is proof that having a good plan is better
than having many bad plans.
