Cooperation is a great value and instinct for the forest. We must spread it and work on spreading it among us. If we planted in ourselves this rooted value, our helping each other would become strong and great in the most difficult of circumstances and narrow situations, which may exist in the life of some of us. This is what the good cat Rose did.
Rose was a cat of the striped type living in a rich family’s house, with a beautiful garden. Beautiful plants and fragrant fruits grew in it, and animals with beautiful fragrances would come to it from the fruits that God created for us, so that we benefit from their eating and strengthen our bodies when we eat them continuously without neglecting from us.
On one of the bright days, Rose the cat went out from the house to roam in the garden, where her master had left her alone. She went out to play with the garden, then she would return to the inside when the sun set and became hot for the forest in the afternoon.
On this gentle day, Rose went out in the early morning, as was her habit every day. During her roaming in the garden, she heard the voice of another cat meowing, so she began searching for her because she heard her meowing severely. She found with her a small cat of small size, brown color, weak body. Rose asked her what had happened? The small cat answered her, crying: I was chasing a predatory crow from a rooftop.
She jumped from one place to another until she began climbing on the trees, and continued climbing behind her until she found herself suspended in the air on the branch of a distant tree from the ground’s surface. She cannot come down now. Then the small cat began to cry.
Rose began thinking what she would do for this weak one, for she was on an extremely high altitude and must not jump in that weakness, so she would not be exposed to breaking one of her feet. Rose began to look who would help from above her. Indeed, she heard the cats coming out from the garden wall meowing, and they began to gather and meow to each other. When each one of them learned about the matter of the small cat stuck in the place under the tree, they all gathered, wondering in how to save her.
After the group of cats gathered under the tree, one of the cats suggested that two of them, one would climb and hold the small cat from her back, just as the mother holds her small one. This suggestion amazed all members of the group, and they began to implement. Two big cats jumped, climbed to the top in the middle of the road, and the other one completed the mission and placed a number of tree branches at a close distance from the small cat. She jumped on it and did so. Then she separated from the big cat, so it carried her between its teeth and landed her down slowly until she reached a close distance from the ground. They jumped all, and they began to examine the small cat. They found her safe in her feet. Here a beautiful idea occurred in the mind of what they did.
They suggested that they should carry the cat and go with her to her owner alone and request help from her. Indeed, the cats all went to the alone, and Rose went to the house and waited until she noticed her owner and went out to follow her. She saw a big cat standing alone and carrying the small cat that looked at her alone with astonishment.
The owner smiled and carried the cat between her palms and pampered her. Do not fear, oh little one. You will be fine. Here the group of cats turned to where they had come from and left the small cat alone with her owner until she recovered completely. Then Rose thanked and left to return from where she came.
