About Timing

When a bird had her babies in a small nest, a greedy cat visited with a plan to eat them. The mother knew his intention all along but greeted him politely. The cat happily went away with a plan to return later.

When he visited after a few weeks, she treated him nicely again to buy more time. He went back again as the babies weren't big enough.

The cat had no idea that the mom had been secretly teaching her kids attacking strategies. So, the following month, when the cat returned the third time, they assaulted and killed him.?
