dun look down on a rat

There was this rat which looked real small and u would easily come to the conclusion that it could be crushed easily in a smack, be it the baseball bat, or any racket. Juz as everybody tot the rodent would run away from the slightest sign of danger, it went for a piece of cheese right under the nose of a cat which was napping there and it succeeded.

Though this rat was hideous in appearance, messy hair, scratches of scars, just the type of smelly, feeble and diseased rat that u can imagine, however, from its actions, it nv seemed to give in to the harsh reality. The manner it confronted the ferocious cat surprised me. On many occasions, i had seen enuff of it looting food from the premises where the cat was guarding. And i immediately come to the conclusion that the cat wasn't a skillful cat perhaps.

The owner of the house was determined not to let the rat escaped and he had actually set up many traps in the kitchen, in the hope of nabbing this rat. However, to his disappointment, the rat would somehow escape from the crutches of him and the cat. I was wondering why this rat is being so persistent abt getting food here, did he have a point to prove. Nah, how could a rat possessed that type of dignity? Impossible i tot, its juz being stupid.

One day, i happened to walk past that kitchen and was excited by the fighting scene that was happening right b4 my eyes, between the rat, the cat and the owner. It was creating a some din and i was later accompanied by onlookers. Everyone tot this time the rat would definitely die as all possible exits were sealed and the owner had long anticipated its arrival. I was intrigued by the fact that the rat still made its way despite all the possible dangers that was in place.

Anyway, the rat was very experienced in avoiding those traps and smashes by the owner holding a baseball bat. To add to its difficulty, it was bitting on a somewad big piece of cheese. The cat was chasing and following the trail of the rat but it nv appeared to be close to catching it. This whole operation went on for a moment and we tot its only a matter of time the rat was caught and beaten to death. And true enuff, after some time the rat failed to find the right way out in time and he was smashed on the head. Blood from his head smeared onto the legs of the chairs and some areas on the kitchen cabinet. The owner was happy, but the cat was injured while catching the rat. The spectators were obviously disgusted by the scene and went off straight after it.

However, i tot this rat put up a good fight. It nv came to it that it muz avoid the dangers to continue living. To the rat, being chased is part of its life and to die in a chase is the best outcome for them. A tiny rat supposedly shld not have the ideals of humans and yet they know how to face their reality and face death. I looked on as the owner clean up the mess, and i was silently saluting its death.
