It was a summer day 2000 years ago; the 2 hunters were getting ready to start their hunting day. They had everything they needed to go hunting, except they also needed to animal protectors. They had only a cat and a dog, so each animal should protect their hunter. The dog, full of energy and very smart, was ready to go hunting. The cat, lazy and full of distraction, didn’t want to go hunting. Each went their separate ways and they should meet at sunset, the dog was always together with his hunter, always careful and ready to protect his hunter if a thread appears. On the other way, the cat was always walking lazy, and wanted to return. Time passed and the cat decided to go back home and sleep, he didn’t care about his hunter, he just wanted to sleep as he always does. The sunset came, and as the hunter that was left alone by the cat was returning, a leopard attacked him. Fortunately the hunter killed the leopard, but the leopard made him a death wound. The hunter was able to return to the camp, but died there. Everything was the cat’s fault, the other hunt group returned, but the dog was also wounded by a fox. What the dog needed to survive was a bone, so he took a cats bone to put it on the dog. The dog survived, and the cat wanted his bone back. From that day on, the cat was always jealous because people always played with the dog and never with the cat. The cat was always hiding from people because he feared that maybe they will take another bone off him. The cat was always jealous of the dog’s loyalty. That cat told other cats that the dogs were their enemies because they have a bone that is theirs. As generations of cats and dogs passed, they became foes because cats wanted their bone back. Also they stopped getting close with people. Since that day, dogs and cats are foes, and cats always hide from people because of fear. Every time a cat gets close to a dog, is because he wants his bone back, and dogs bark at them to protect what cats once had. Disloyalty and laziness could destroy friendships, and entire generations.
