  2. Rat and Weasel Fight

    Share Share Post
    A man saw a rat and a weasel fighting and he tried to hill the rat but hit the weasel by mistake. The weasel spat on his foot. When the weasel had killed the rat, he followed the man and licked his foot as he seemed to realize that the man did not wish to hit. The spit of a weasel is poisonous.
