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.
