However, Ricky proved to be more intelligent than her. He took a swift U-turn, causing Katie to fall face-down.
"The sly mouse escaped again today, but I won't give up," Katie muttered.
Ignoring her injury, she pursued him, but by then, Ricky had vanished.
"Katie, it's not just difficult, but impossible to catch a nimble and clever mouse like Ricky," chuckled Chatty crow, perched on a tree branch.
"Don't try to be clever!" Katie said in frustration.
"If you wish, I can assist you. Everyone in the forest recognises my intelligence, except you."
"All right, tell me quickly, what idea do you have?" Katie got curious upon hearing Chatty's offer.
"Just leave it to me! But remember, don't forget my reward," Chatty said.
One day, seeing an opportunity, Chatty approached Ricky.
"How are you, Ricky? If I hadn't diverted Katie's attention the other day when she was chasing you, you might not have escaped her grasp." "What do you mean?" Ricky asked.
"I mean, you are so hardworking, you don't lack anything, and yet you are so thin. Eat well so that you can maintain good health.
Then you can easily defeat, not only Katie but any other predator," Chatty advised.
As he spoke, Chatty showed him a video on his mobile that was created with the help of artificial intelligence.
"My goodness, such a strong and healthy mouse? It defeated the cat in a single attack. Incredible! I wish I could be like him," Ricky said after watching the video, and Chatty realised that his message had hit home.
