The Cat and the Dragon II

The Cat was in a very malevolent mood. It discovered that the Drachen had eaten all the nice roasted fish that the Cat had bought from the market the day before. The Drachen absolutely adored fish, and the Cat knew that. To be honest, the Cat being a Cat, never liked fish that much though. So why had the Cat bought the fish? In all honesty, the Cat wanted to make the Drachen a special dish of roasted fish spotted with beef jerky. And would watch the Drachen smack the Drachen's lips with pleasure and twitch and roll over with happiness. And now all that remained was the beef jerky.

Yes, the Drachen had been very bad.

The Cat, being the Cat, always knew a way out.

That night when the Drachen tiptoed back into the pouch, the Cat could sense that the Drachen was hungry. But the Drachen was scared to ask the Cat for food, knowing for sure that the Drachen would be very much scolded for stealing the food. The Cat, the Drachen thought, would forget by the next morning; and anyway, in the morning the Drachen would eat the huge bowl of chocolate flavoured cereal. And thus the Cat would be very happy, and forgive the Drachen.

What the Drachen did not know was that this was a part of the Cats devious plan. All throughout the night, when the Drachen was sleeping, the malevolent Cat covered the beef jerkys with a thin coating of chocolate...

You can imagine the Drachen's annoyance: who of us would not be annoyed to have gone to bed with the hope of having a delicious sweet breakfast next morning only to be shocked by the extra saltiness of the beef jerky! The Cat had not only coated the jerkys with a thick coating of chocolate, but had soaked the jerkies overnight in a strong brine solution: strong enough to make any one's teeth week. With a roar, the Drachen flew out of the pouch in the morning.

The black Cat watched with a smirk on its face...
