One day, Daisy told her kids, who had grown bigger, "Tomorrow, you must go out alone and hunt for food. This way, you will also see the outside world."
The next morning, Berry and Riri took their first steps to find food. Berry started crossing the road. At the same time, she saw two women going to the market. Berry had crossed their paths. Both women got very angry at Berry, and one said, "This cat has crossed our path. Now our work will not happen."
Further ahead, a child was walking with her father to the school, to take an exam. Berry was about to cross their path, when her father said, "Walk fast! If this cat crosses our path, your paper will go not well. Chase her away from here." The child threw a stone at Berry and chased it away. Berry was hurt and wondered, "Why are people talking so meanly about me?" Walking ahead, a small child gave her some milk. Berry felt better. Later, she caught a rat, and holding it between her teeth, Berry walked home.
On her way home she saw two friends who were going to watch a movie.
They came across Riri. One said to the other, "This cat is so scary! Like the one they show in the movies. Her eyes look evil, as if a ghost or vampire is roaming around in disguise."
"Come, let's run away from here quickly," said the other.
