Once upon a time, there was a big cat named Tom. Tom was not a normal cat. He had a very special taste for food. He liked to eat fish, but he did not like to eat mice like other cats. One day, Tom saw a big fish in the pond. He wanted to catch the fish and eat it.
Tom met his friend, a little bird named Sue. Sue asked Tom, "What are you doing?" Tom said, "I want to catch the fish." Sue had an idea. She told Tom to lie down and pretend to be asleep. She said, "When the fish comes near, you can catch it."
Tom did what Sue said. He lied down and closed his eyes. The fish saw Tom and thought he was asleep. The fish swam closer and closer to Tom. Just as the fish was about to touch Tom's nose, Tom opened his eyes and caught the fish.
Tom was very happy. He thanked Sue for her help. They both sat down to eat the fish together. From that day on, Tom and Sue were the best of friends. And Tom learned that it was good to have a friend who could help him catch his food.
