The Saxicola Castor And The Wild Cat

It (the Saxicola Castor) says: "Tcha, tcha, tcha, tcha," when it is laughing at the wild cat, when it has espied the cat, while the cat is lying down, lying asleep; and it is laughing at the cat, on account of it.

The other little birds (hearing it) go to it, they are all laughing at the cat.
