The cat was flattered and she quickly pulled out a chestnut that had burst open.
“How do you do it?” asked the monkey. “It is wonderful. Can you reach that big one?”
“Yes, but see, I have burned my paw a little.”
“Oh, but what of that, when you are making yourself so useful?”
One after another the cat pulled the chestnuts from the fire. Then she found that the sly monkey had eaten them all. All she had was a pair of sore claws.
