A long time ago, Dog was married to Cat. They were happy together but every night when Dog came home from work, Cat said she was too sick to make him dinner. Dog was patient for a while but he soon got tired of fixing dinner himself after a hard day’s work. And all Cat did was stay home all day doing nothing. One day, Dog told Cat he was going to work, but instead hid in the cupboard and waited to see if Cat was really sick. As soon as Cat thought Dog had left, she started playing games with her other friends. They laughed and ran about. Cat didn’t seem the least bit sick. Dog jumped out of the cupboard with fury. When Cat saw him, she stuck a marble in her cheek and told Dog she had a toothache. Dog was so mad he started chasing her around the house. Dogs have been chasing Cats ever since.
