Fables with modern morals

A boy and his cat

young and foolish child was amusing himself among his father's effects, though he was forbidden to do so. He came upon a fat ball of twine and decided to play a game.Taking his family's cat outside into the sun, he tied one end of the string around its neck and shooed the cat away. As the the family pet ran, it pulled the string behind it and the child laughed as the ball of twine shrunk, spinning in his hands.

But soon the cat was out of sight and the child was left holding a long yellow string. He cried for the cat's return, but it did not come. Growing tired the little boy began to pull the string back toward him to fetch the cat. But after tugging the entire length of string, the cat was gone.He was sobbing when his parents returned home and they rightly scolded him, saying "what a naughty and foolish thing you have done!" The child cried at his folly, and the cat was gone forever.

Moral: keep your pussy in sight, and on a short leash, dude.
