The tale of the deceived rat. Berry was a young rat that grew up believing that humans were all rat killers. Every time his family went out looking for food, they would always come back without one of his family members. This made him believe that humans were just evil beings. Evil beings who loved to kill his friends & family. Henceforth, he swore his revenge on them.
When he was old enough to go hunting with his family, he carried his sword along with him. He had the intention of killing the human that lived in the house they were going to. As was the usual plan, his family started collecting crumbs from around the house. They would eat everything in their path, including shoes and clothes belonging to the humans. The humans had become so irritated by the rats that came into their house every evening looking for something to eat. They eventually set up traps around the house; and every day, at least one rat would get caught up in the trap.
As his family was gathering food from around the human’s house, Berry decided to go looking for the human who was responsible for killing his family. It was when he got to where the human was sleeping and tried using the sword on him that he realized his sword was no match for the human at all. The prick from Berry’s sword startled the human from his sleep, causing him to immediately wake up. By this time, one more rat had already been captured in the trap that had been set up and this had caused a frenzy among the other rats.
It was at this point that Berry realized he was the deceived rat. That his family had always been a menace to the humans…. always destroying their things. ‘Maybe we deserved to die’ Berry thought!
Moral: What you think may not always be right.
