The cat and mouse


A small creature creeping out of a hole 

a big feline cat waiting to prance

but what good for the mouse? 

what if history was different

imagine........

two best friends 

one small one big

how they met?

a small shadow and a big shadow

one starts talking about how delicious the mouse looks

licking its fur breathing cold breaths

on the other hand 

the mouse persuading the cat 

"don't eat me I'm rotten"

but no no no he's fresh 

but the cat believed that

theres good in everything

so this is a story of a cat and a mouse 

tiny and big

good and bad
