Tomcat

Once Upon a Time, there was a cat who lived down by the docks. Every day, this big, mean, and ugly tomcat would wind and slink his way around the fishermen, surviving on the entrails and discarded refuse from the fish. One day, he discovered a seagull who told him the fish were more tasty than the guts. Because of that, the tomcat became emboldened to take the fish out of the barrels. Because of that, one of the fishermen swung his knife at the cat and chopped off his tail. Finally, the cat learned his to be content with the scraps on the floor.
