Description
A cunning owl and a distracted cat attempt to outsmart each other in this charming, timeless fable One day, Grey Cat stumbles upon a surprise in one of his usual fishing spots: a small wooden rowboat containing a bucket of fresh fish sitting idly. Curious and eager to snatch it up, Grey Cat seeks the help of a nearby owl, who is willing to lend a hand if Grey Cat helps him free his claw from under a log. But will Grey Cat choose to help the owl-or is he too eager to reach the rowboat and grab his newfound treasure?
