[Story]
In a somewhat peculiar habitat, a great cat named Fatty lived on a boat. Fatty had a peculiar habit of chatting with other animals on the boat, but he would often cheat them in conversations. One day, Fatty met a wise old owl who could see through his deceitful ways. The owl challenged Fatty to a game of wits, and Fatty, being overconfident, accepted. The owl asked Fatty a series of questions that required him to use his knowledge of the world around him. Fatty struggled to answer the questions, and the owl easily defeated him. Realizing his mistake, Fatty apologized to the owl and promised to treat others with kindness and honesty from then on.
