Buddhist Story: The Cat's Inquiry About Food. One little cat, as it grew up, asked its mother, "What foods can we eat?"The mother cat said, "Humans will naturally teach you." That night, the little cat snuck into a household and hid among the clay and ceramic dishes. When someone spotted the cat, they remarked:"Items like butter, cheese, and meat must be kept securely, and the chicken cage should be hung high to prevent the cat from eating them." Upon hearing this, the little cat realized that chickens, meat, butter, and cheese were all its food. Words of Wisdom: The cat learned about its food by observing humans' actions, whereas humans often openly display their wealth and jewelry to others. Isn't a woman dressed provocatively akin to inviting trouble into one's home? In our interactions with people, we must be cautious!
