An inexperienced little mouse once came across a cockerel.Never having seen one before,the little mouse was so afraid of the cockerel's beak,its feathers and red crest,that he ran away.Further on,the mouse saw a cat.What a handsome animal,he thought;what a soft fur,what striking eyes!When the mouse reached home,he told his mother what he had seen."You silly mouse,"she said,"Never go by appearances.The terrible animal that you saw was a harmless cockerel,while the fine looking one is our enemy,the cat."
