A mouse was having a very difficult time. He was so afraid of a cat that life had lost
all its sparkle and he spent his days in fear and trembling. A magician came upon the
terrified mouse. The mouse told him about the constant state of fear and distress. The
magician waved his hand and with a magic spell turned the mouse into a cat. Some
time later the cat came back. «Life would not be such a torture if I could live without
the constant fear of being caught by a dog», said the cat. The magician said a spell,
waved his hand over the cat, and the cat became a dog. The dog trotted off but after
some days he was back and the problem was still the same — fear. The dog was terrified
of tigers. Again, with his magic words and a wave of his hand, the magician
transformed the dog into a magnificent tiger.
Now, when the tiger returned to ask for help because he was full of fear and terrified
of being killed by hunters, the magician gave up. «Nothing will be of any help»,
he said, «for you have the heart of a mouse». He decided to change the tiger back into
