Tom O Jerry : The Cat Mouse Stories


Adapted from: Ambrose Bierce 

Hearing that the Birds in a village were ill, a Cat went to them and said that he was a doctor, and would cure them if they would let him see them.


"What kind of medicine  do you practice?"
asked the Birds.
"Aap kaun se marz ke doctor hain?"  Chidiyon ne poocha

"I am a Meowopathist"  said the Cat. 
 
"Main ek Meowopathist hun" Billi boli.

"Have you ever applied Gohomeopathy?"
"Kya aapne kabhi Gharjaopathy apply ki?" 


 The Cat understood the Birds were not to be fooled.

There was a Cat who was a builder, some poor Rats lived in a hole in
a very prime location, so he made some flats and went up to talk to
the rats saying-

"Yeh Bil Chhod De Undra, Uss Bil Main Aa Ja
Lakh Taka Doon Rokda, Baitho Baitho Khaa"

"Leave this house rat, come to stay in the other flat,
I will pay you lakh ruppees for your house, you will sit
and enjoy life"


The Rat replied -


"Bhoon thodi, Bharo Ghano, Jeevan Jokhyo Maay
Beech Main Hi Gutko Hove, Laakh Taka Kaun Khaye?"

"My land is less your price is more, means my life is in danger
You will eat me up on the way to other house, what will I do of the money?"


So saying the Cat would finish him off, take away his land as well and sell  the flat to somebody else. The Cat walked away dejected.

There was a rat, who wanted to go out and eat some corn, but when he
peeped out he saw there was  a cat, so he went inside the hole to another
rat and said -

"Main bahar khane ja raha tha, par maine socha agar aap mere saath
chalte to main gaurvanvit hota"

"I was going out, but then I thought it would be such an honour to
have your esteemed company"


 The other rat said -
"Chalo chalen"
"Come lets go"


The first rat said -"Main aapke aage chalne ki gustaki kaise kar sakta
hun, Nahin nahin janab aap chaliye, main aapke peeche peeche"

"No Sir, I cannot dare to walk before a rat  as great as you, you please
walk first, I will follow you"


 Happy hearing his praise the second rat went ahead, when he came out of the
hole  the cat caught him and went away, the first rat 'ka rasta saaf woh apna
khane chal pade'
having cleared his way, the rat went off for his  food
