Chapter XCII: Here It Is Told of a Good Woman Who Had Made a Fine Pie

There was a woman who had made a fine eel pie, [156] and had put it in the cupboard. She saw a mouse enter by the window, attracted by the good smell. The woman called the cat, and put it in the cupboard to catch the mouse. The mouse hid itself among the flour, and the cat ate the pie. When the woman opened the door the mouse jumped out.

And the cat, because it was satisfied, did not catch it.
