1. The Cat

In the perspective of a cat.

Cold wet fish, squirming on a rock.

Big long fish, swimming by the dock.

With swift-moving paws, I catch my tasty dinner,

In the fast-going streams of the big blue river.

The fish beneath the water all flee and swim in dread,

For between my teeth and in my jaws, their comrade now lies dead.

Tonight I shall eat well, with the fish that I have caught,

For I have found the greatest meal, that for hours I have sought.
