EP 68: Iran- The Cat and The Mouse

This time the story comes from ancient Persia. It is the story of a mouse who insults a cat and is killed for his offense. The cat then prays to Allah and promises to reform himself. The mice believe that he has repented and thus bring him gifts to thank him for not eating them anymore. The cat thinks that Allah has blessed him with a feast after fasting. This leads to all out war between the cats and the mice. Who will prevail in the end?
