Three clever cats lived in a

house.The white cat was big.

The black cat was bigger than
the white cat. The striped cat
was the biggest of the three.
One day they baked a cake for
dinner. “I will eat all the cake,”
said the white cat in a loud
voice.
“I will eat it alone,” said the
black cat in a louder voice.
“I will eat it all by
myself,” said the striped
cat in the loudest voice.
A clever monkey lived in a tree
nearby. He was more clever
than the cats. In fact, he was
the most clever monkey in the
world.
He heard what the
cats said and came
into their house. The
cats were busy
fighting among
themselves. They did
not see the monkey.
The monkey ate up
the whole cake.
At last they stopped fighting.
“Where’s the cake?” they
asked. “It ran away because
you made too much noise,” said
the monkey.
