There is a story which tells how Man wanted to build a house . First he asked Dog to help him . Dog was not interested and said he wouldn’t . Then Man asked Cat. Cat was pleased to help . When the house was finished , Cat was told to sleep inside by the fire . As for Dog , Man told him he would have to sleep out of doors . That is why dogs often sleep outside , but cats seldom do.
Do you know why the cat eats first and washes afterwards ? One day the unfortunate Mouse was just about to be eaten by Cat . Mouse was quite minded . He said to Cat. “Don’t you have any manners at all ? Everyone knows you should wash your hands and face before you eat. ”The cat was ashamed at this and began to wash . While Cat was washing , Mouse ran off , and so Cat lost her meal . Ever since then cats have always eaten first and washed themselves afterwards.
