The Cat's Waltz - Fourth Encounter


With the Elephants of Asia



The light of day dimmed as the cat waltzed towards the last enclosure to be greeted by grown elephants thrashing about in the mud, trumpeting dissonantly or stuffing food into their mouth with their trunks. The cat was shocked at how unhygienic they were by using their bare trunks instead of utensils. They’re noisy too, I pity their neighbours. Enjoyment of life was excessive to the cat. “What’s happening here?” the cat exclaimed.
 
“Just preparing our song for the party later!  How was it?” they asked, flopping their ears up in anticipation. 

“You elephants will be the saving grace of the party since the selfish pandas would probably be unwilling to share their food later,” she replied slyly and told them about her earlier observations, though mentally she could only think about how ignorant and thick-skinned they were.

“What? Do they think that their food is too expensive to be shared?” an exclamation rang out like a bell, sparking off more insults and heating up the atmosphere. Satisfied, the cat spun on her paw and headed away.
 
Before she left, she spotted the swan waddling towards the amphitheatre, and casually warned him, “Be careful of those barbarians throwing themselves into the mud, they may dirty your outfit. ” Her words never failed to spout destruction, even those spoken at parting. She blended into the shadows to watch the flames of discontentment burn.

I'm a mega weeb who just wants to share some online novels I've read and maybe translate some of them to english along the way. I do not guarantee the accuracy of my translations.
