Gotch ya!

One day, Felix the cat said to Fido the dog, "Where have you been all day?"

Fido replied, " I spent the entire day in the pasture watching the cows. There was a lot to do. Old Browny wanted to eat the neighbor's oats and I had to keep a constant watch so she would not wander over there. I'm telling you, if I was a cow, I would be content to eat what is given me. I would not try to taste someone else's fare."

" If you were a cow", replied Felix," you would do as Browny does I am sure."

" No," said Fido," it is wrong to take what is not ours."

" NO?" interjected Felix. "What of the juicy ham that you took from the pantry last week?"

Fido lowed his head and did not reply.

" For my part", continued Felix," I never steal. Every day I hunt and catch mice and rats for my meals."

Fido now laughed and asked Felix, " Then what were you doing in the jar of fresh cream the other day?"
