Once upon a time, there was a hungry little cat named Mittens. One day, Mittens heard about a big feast happening in the town square.
Excited, Mittens decided to sneak into the feast and grab as much food as he could eat.
However, when Mittens arrived, he found out that the food was guarded by a dragon who would beat anyone who tried to cheat.
Mittens didn't want to get beat, so she came up with a plan.
She used her cunning and snuck up to the dragon while it was feeling the heat from the sun.
Mittens jumped on the dragon's seat and treated herself to a big plate of meat!
The dragon woke up, but Mittens was too quick for it and was already gone with a full belly.
From that day on, Mittens was known as the neatest cheat in all the land.
