Long ago, a partridge was living in the hollow of a tree in a forest for a long time. One day. it had become scarce in that part of the forest and he had to go to some other place in search of food. He found a field of ripe rice at a long distance. He stayed there for many weeks and didn't return back. Soon he became healthy by eating rice grains.
Meanwhile, a rabbit started living in the partridge's nest finding it empty. After some time, the partridge returned and found the rabbit in his nest. "Who are you? What are you doing in my house," the partridge asked angrily. "It is mine and I have been living here for many days." said the rabbit. They started quarrelling with each other. At last, they decided to solve their problem with someone.
A forest cat had been watching them for quite some time. He had an eye on them and was waiting for an opportunity to kill them both. With an aim to fulfil his wish, the cat volunteered, "Hey folks, what is the problem? Shall I be of some help here?" Although both the partridge and the rabbit knew the cat to be their enemy, in their misunderstanding, they approached the cat. As they neared the cat, the cat was ready to pounce on them. With a growl, the cat started to attack the rabbit and the partridge. Both the friends ran in different directions to save their lives. But his sharp paws and teeth will kill both the partridge and rabbit.
Moral: TRUST NOT THE UNTRUSTABLE.
