    the treasure but this animal would not allow him.
    Not having succeeded he returned and thought if a plan.
    He decided to get another cat and bring it down with him to throw it to the cat on guard.
    He hoped that the two cats would fight and that while the two cats would be fighting, he could snatch the treasure.
