THE FEMALE CAT, THE MALE CAT, THE LITTLE CATS AND THE MONKEY

   

   The female cat, the male cat, the little cats and the monkey

   A cat knew that your girlfriend was pregnant and left home. And when the female cat already had given birth to the little cats, she discovered that their father frequented the Monkey’s bar.

   The female cat took her little cats, went to the Monkey’s bar, met the cat drinking, presented him the little children and asked for help. The cat looked at the eight little cats, after he looked at the monkey and said:

   -Serve one glass of milk for each one of them.

   But the monkey answered:

   -I don’t sell milk here in my bar!

  The cat looked at the eight little cats again, after he looked at the monkey and said:

   -Then serve one glass of vodka for each one of them.

   But the monkey answered:

   -I don’t sell alcoholic drinks to minors.

   And then the cat looked at the female cat and said:

   -As you saw, I would like to help. But you will have to continue wanting me until you meet me in another place.
