Lesson for the Cat (Part 2)

Goto Part 1
Billa, the cat liked the idea and asked Lomdi the Jackal to get the dish of chilli-powder. She said, "I like hot spicy food, so I will first marinate Chooha in chilli-powder." Chooha, the mouse was frightened but Billa, the cat opened the lid of the dish and put Chooha, the mouse into the utensil.
As Chooha was wrapped with chilli-powder, she started shaking with pain. At the same time she thought that to escape from the situation she had to bear some pain and so filled some chilli in her mouth. Billa, the cat took her out and to see that Chooha, the mouse was properly covered with chilli, she brought her close to her eyes. Chooha, the mouse got a chance and she blew the chilli-powder into Billa, the cat's eyes. Billa, the cat shouted with pain and the mouse fell from her hand. Chooha ran to Lomdi the Jackal. Billa, the cat was jumping here and there. Her eyes were burning with the chilli. She forgot that the fire was next to her and she fell into it. Lomdi the Jackal and Chooha, the mouse started clapping. Lomdi the Jackal said to Billa, the cat, "Now I will roast you and coat you with spices." Billa, the cat pleaded, "Spare me, I promise that I will never eat any mouse ever. Please forgive me." Lomdi the Jackal and Chooha, the mouse felt pity on her and threw a bucket of water into the fire. The fire was doused but by that time both ears of Billa, the cat had already got burnt. She ran away for shame but Lomdi the Jackal stopped her and said, "I regret that only your ears have got burnt. But not to worry, I will cover them in spices and we will be happy eating just your ears." Billa, the cat was embarrassed. She ran as fast as she could while Lomdi the Jackal and Chooha, the mouse clapped away.

Lesson for the Cat (Part 1)

Based on a Story by Gyandev Mukesh
Winter had set in and Lomdi the Jackal was feeling cold. He collected some dry woodand lit up a fire to keep himself warm. He went off to sleep when he felt warm and comfortable. Chooha, the Mouse too was feeling very cold. Taking the opportunity she cuddled close to the fire. Billa, the cat too joined them. Chooha was enjoying the warmth of the fire and was unaware of the presence of the danger lurking near her "the cat". After some time, when Billa, the cat be came comfortable, she thought of going home. When she turned, her eyes fell on Chooha, the mouse.
"Wow! A mouse. I will roast it and enjoy my meal", and Billa, the cat nabbed the ignorant Chooha.
"Help, help," Chooha shouted and tried to free itself from Billa, the cat's clutches. This woke Lomdi the Jackal up and he inferred the whole situation.
He said to Billa, the cat, "The mouse is my little sister, so spare her. I will give you lots of dry wood to keep yourself cosy and comfortable at home." Billa, the cat said, "I can get wood from anywhere but to have the catch of a fat mouse comes rarely. I am going to roast the mouse, so get aside. If you wish,I can give you some to taste." Lomdi the Jackal understood that Billa, the cat was too eager of having Chooha, the mouse for supper.
He regretted lighting fire and started searching for a way to save Chooha, the mouse. Seeing some utensils with spices lying nearby,an idea struck Lomdi the Jackal. He said to Billa, the cat, "Why don't you roast Chooha in spices kept here and make it tasty."
