Why cats and rats/mice are enemies and the Cat and Rat legend of the Zodiac.

The stories of the, Cat and Rat legend of the Zodiac and How cats and mice became enemies, these stories are legends that explain what things that have happened in these stories. The Cat and Rat story explains how the Rat Zodiac came to be. This essay will show the similarities and differences of the stories of, the Cat and Rat legend of the Zodiac, and the story why Cat and Rats/Mice are enemies.

First the essay will explain the story one the Cat and Rat legend of the Zodiac. The emperor announced there was a race being taken place through the woods, and across the biggest river. The Buffalo, Cat, and Rat had made a deal to let Cat and Rat ride the Buffalo early in the morning in order to win a place in the Zodiac. The Rat had tricked the Cat with delicious fish in the water, and pushed the Cat off into the river, once he was near the river bank the Rat had jumped of the …show more content…
Rat bribed Cat with fish. Cat got tricked/lied to. Started as best friends then enemies. Rat escaped from cat.

Five things that are different in the stories are:
Mouse/Rat did not intend to be selfish in the 2nd story. There was no race in the 2nd story. Cheated in 1st story and had an accident in the 2nd. No other characters than Cat and Rat. No Zodiac.

This story explains Why cats and rats/mice are enemies and the Cat and Rat legend of the Zodiac. I wrote this essay to compare and contrast these two stories. The strongest comparison is that Rat/Mouse tricked Cat by bribing him with fish. The strongest difference is when Rat/Mouse chewed a hole through the pumpkin on an accident because he was hungry, and in the first story Rat/Mouse purposely pushed Cat into the water to win a place in the Zodiac. If you have read this essay I want you to look into the Zodiac more to prove I am correct, thank

    Similarities Between 'Old Ben And Fox Hunt'

    These stories have many similarities and differences between each other. The two stories are “Old Ben” and “Fox Hunt”. “Old Ben” is a nonfiction story. It had been a story about a boy who was walking and came along a blacksnake and had befriended him by taking him home and keeping him in the grain bin. At first his father was not in favor of keeping Old Ben, the snake, but after he had realized how much better the snake had been killing the mice than their many other cats he felt it was alright to keep him. Then for many months Blackie disappeared and no one knew wear to find him at so they had just waited, and after many seasons coming and going he had returned in early April and he looked like a long, straggly, flabby, and weak snake. After making a mistake of hiding in the horse’s feed bucket, he had almost been trampled to death but had understood to not go in there anymore but he had made one last fatal mistake. Going into the hog pen. That was where they had seen the last trace of Old Ben, his long skinny track in the smooth sand, leading right up…

    How Cats And Mice Became Enemies

    One way that they are alike is that it tells how they became enemies, for example the Rat pushes the Cat selfishly into the river, and in the story he eats the boat and Cat thinks that Rat was trying to kill him and he tries to kill Rat. Another way they are alike is in both the legend and the story they are crossing a river, and in the story the Rat eats the boat that they were crossing the river in and in the legend the Rat pushes Cat off of the Ox while crossing the river.Lastly in both Cat gets mad at Rat and tries to hurt him, like when the Cat and Rat cross the river and Rat eats the boat and Cat gets mad and tries to kill him or when they are crossing the river and the Rat pushes him off Ox’s back and Cat gets mad and tries to kill him. These reasons are why I think that the two stories about Cat and Rat are more…

    Good? Okay, now picture a rat. And finally picture them both at once right next to each other, big difference, right? Well, they can be quite similar, mind you. They’re both mammals for one which is the easiest similarity but there are other things. - Now, I’m going to skip all the things that have to do with being mammals like live birth and hair and stuff like that. – They are both extremely smart and have gotten past complex problem-solving tests and mazes. They also both have large families of multiple types of their species such as the blue whale and the river rat.…

    Problem Solving Simulation

    When I saw the problem, I first thought it was not going to be possible to solve. Meaning; that I would not solve this problem without more information. When I sent the cat over first the mouse and dog did not fight by their selves. Then whenever I sent the dog or mouse over, they would fight with the cat. I even thought about leaving the cat on the existing shore and trying to move the mouse and dog, and found that the cat fought with them there on the existing shore. My thoughts then were that there had to be a trick to this. I had a conceptual block and knew there was something else to the problem that was not mentioned in the writing [ (Morris & Maisto, 2002) ].…

    The Loss Of The Creature Summary

    One may believe that this story is very beneficial because it shows you that you need to take every experience and really appreciate the moment because there might not ever be another one like this. While reading through the essay the first time, trying to find his main points were difficult. His stories and his examples made it much easier to understand where exactly he was going. His essay was structured very well, although being frustrated due to not finding his main ideas the first time reading this essay, confusion about where he was headed never occurred. Agreement with his statements were constantly occurring while reading. Every point or example that he provided was backed up with evidence. Something that stood out to this reader was his example of the dogfish. This example talked about how there is a relationship that is between a dogfish and Shakespeare sonnet. A student that is desired to have either of these will have difficulty retrieving the creature itself from an educational package. This stood out because one may have never thought of putting these two subjects in the same sentence. This essay was one that stood out because it made one think logically throughout the whole…
