This is the story of Paka the cat.
If there are three or four men walking along and only one woman, the cat
will turn aside from the men and follow the woman.
Now the reason for this is the story I am telling you.
[Illustration: Paka the cat]
In the beginning Paka sat in the bush, till one day she felt the pain of
hunger.
So she came down to the shore, and there she met a serval, who was
hunting the crabs of the shore. So Paka went up to the serval and said,
"Good morning."
