Once upon a time, there was a cat named Mittens who loved to play pranks. One day, while exploring the forest, Mittens saw a bug and decided to play a trick on it. Mittens put on a hat and pretended to be a dog, barking and growling at the bug. The bug was so scared that it ran away to find help from its friends, the ants. When the ants arrived, they saw Mittens wearing a hat and barking like a dog and they thought he was the real deal. Suddenly, a frog jumped in and asked what was going on. When the ants explained the situation, the frog suggested they all work together to teach Mittens a lesson. They made a plan and when Mittens approached, the bug played dead, the ants lifted the hat off Mittens' head and the frog croaked loudly. Mittens was so surprised that she laughed and revealed the truth. From that day on, Mittens became friends with all the forest creatures and never played tricks on them again.
