    The cat and mouse decide to live together and buy a jar of fat to prepare for winter. The cat lies to the mouse several times, claiming he needs to be godfather at baptisms so he can go lick the fat from the jar. Each time he makes up a new name for the "child" that reveals how much fat is left ("Top-off", "Half gone", "All-gone"). In the end, winter comes and the jar is discovered to be empty. The mouse realizes she has been deceived all along, and tells the cat this, causing the cat to devour her.

    Cat and mouse

    in partnership
    One day, a cat showed his love and friendship to a mouse. The mouse
    accepted his feelings and agreed to live with the cat and keep a house
    together.
    In anticipation of the winter, they decided to buy a small pot of fat
    that he would use only when needed. Later, to keep the jar safe, the cat
    advised to hide it under the altar in the church as it would not be stolen.
    Shortly afterwards, the cat wanted to taste it. He then began to lie
    to the mouse. The cat then told the
    mouse that his cousin had asked him
    to become the godfather of his child
    and that they were baptising him today.
    The cat then asked the mouse if he could
    go there while she stayed to keep the
    house and do the housework. The
    mouse agreed. But the whole story was
    a lie, so he went to church and licked the
    top of the fat pot. When the cat came
    back, the mouse asked him what
    name he had given the child. The cat answered "Top-off".
    Then history repeated itself. The cat lied to the mouse again and
    asked him if he could go to church for the same reason. The mouse agreed
    a second time and stayed home. So he went to the church and licked the
    fat from above. Back home the mouse asked him the same question. This
    time the cat answered "half gone".
    Finally, history repeated itself for the last time. This time the cat
    licked the rest of the fat in the jar. Back home, the cat answered the
    mouse's question again and said that the child's name was "All-Gone".
    Winter arrived and the mouse suggested
    that the cat go and start the jar of fat. They went
    under the church altar and discovered the empty
    jar. The mouse realised that the cat had been
    deceiving him all along . She explained to the cat
    that she had understood everything. When she
    pronounced the name of the last "child" : "all
    gone", the cat jumped on her and devoured her.

    I chose this tale because I didn't know it and because I found the
    name attractive. Moreover when I read it I dicovered a story quite
    interesting with a not really expected ending.
