Passage 15

In English

In a house there lived a cat, a rat and a hen. One day, the cat killed the rat. Seeing this, the owner of the house felt happy because the menace of the rat was eliminated. The next day, the same cat killed the hen. This time, the owner became very furious. What was the reason for this divergent attitude? The master of the house nurtured a feeling of attachment towards the hen and animosity towards the rat.
