In ancient times, cats were not domestic animals; they lived in the forest.
Once upon a time there was a cat, and she was friends with a hare. They went everywhere together, and the cat admired her friend's intelligence.
One day a hare quarreled with an antelope; the antelope hit him with its horns and killed him. The poor cat found it scary to be alone; she followed the antelope and became friends with it.
But soon the antelope was killed by a leopard. The cat had to follow the leopard. They began to hunt together. It was a good life, but it did not last long: the leopard had a fight with a lion, and he killed him.
The cat, already accustomed to the vicissitudes of fate, followed the lion and became friends with him. But one day they met a herd of elephants and a huge elephant killed a lion. The cat thought: “If you want to live in peace, you need to have a friend like an elephant. He is larger than all the animals and, of course, stronger and smarter than everyone. Surely no one can defeat him!” And she made friends with the elephant.
But her trials did not end there. A hunter came into the forest and killed an elephant.
This time the cat was confused - after all, she had never seen an animal on two legs. She thought for a long time and realized that if this small two-legged beast killed such a giant as an elephant, it means that he is stronger than everyone else. And she followed the hunter to his house, but was afraid to go inside and hid nearby...
Suddenly she heard noise and screams and saw a hunter - he was running away from the house, and a woman was running after him and beating him with a ladle.
And the cat said:
“Well, I finally understand who is the strongest of all animals.” This is a woman!
And the cat settled in the man’s house and became friends with the woman, because, in fact, women are the most powerful in the world.
