NEURO FAIRY TALES PRESENTER ANDREY ILYIN The contract of cats and mice One day, the Cat King sent a fox to the Mouse Queen to help the two nations make peace and finally live together. Having come to the lady, the fox politely bowed, and then solemnly said:– Your Majesty, the Cat King sent me to you. He knows how to resolve the problems between your subjects once and for all. The king would like to lift the ban on marriage between cats and mice, so that the two nations become one.The Mouse Queen listened attentively to the fox, thanked her and replied:"It's just as important for us to live in peace, and I appreciate the Cat King's offer. But I need to discuss it with my advisors. I'll tell you my decision tonight.Having said this, she called together all the ministers and nobles and told them what the fox had told her.After a lively discussion, everyone agreed that this was the best way to achieve peace and prosperity in both kingdoms. Then the queen announced that the first marriage between cats and mice would be the union of her daughter and the son of the Cat King. The crowd burst into cheers, and the Queen passed her verdict to the fox, who immediately delivered it to the King.However, amidst the general rejoicing, the voice of the wise old mouse rang out:– It is pleasant to realize that we are moving towards a peaceful future, which will follow such an important alliance. But we must not forget that cats have always been our worst enemies. And I doubt that they will become our friends. Don't forget, too, that the fox has always been our worst enemy. Moreover, we have all heard about similar peace treaties between different animals. But how did it end? A disaster! So listen to my words, be careful! Even during the wedding ceremony, which will take place in our palace. At the first danger, run away! – the old mouse finished firmly.After listening to her, preparations for the royal wedding began.Meanwhile, the Cat King sent his spies to all parts of the neighboring kingdom to find out what was going on there. Very soon he realized that the mice suspected him of treachery.On the appointed day, the cats approached the mouse palace with joyful songs and dances.They were singing strange words: "Hello, hello, my mouse! Just a little more, and you're screwed!"The mice were not afraid of this, and they sang in response: "Don't let your pride burst! Nimble mice are not so easy to swat!"Having not seen a single mouse, the cats returned home. And from now on, no one even talked about a wedding between a cat and a mouse.
