Abstract
This is a lovely fable which I had never seen before. It is structured along the lines of The Donkey and the Lapdog. The mistress prefers the hen to the cat because the hen produces eggs. The cat decides to copy the hen. One day the hen leaves her eggs, and the cat covers them and even starts to cluck when the mistress appears. But the mistress gets angry and drives the cat away. The latter in her panic breaks a number of eggs, and the mistress beats her and drives her away for good. Envy shouts at others and wounds itself.
