Once upon a time, a Fox and a Cat met in a forest. The Fox boasted about how it had many strategies and tricks to escape from danger, while the Cat said that it only had one strategy - to climb up a tree and hide.
As they were talking, they heard the sound of hunting dogs approaching. The Fox tried to remember all of its strategies, but it became confused with so many options and eventually failed to make a decision. The Cat, on the other hand, immediately climbed up a nearby tree and hid itself in the branches.
The dogs arrived and chased the Fox, but it could not remember any of its strategies and was eventually caught and killed. Meanwhile, the Cat watched safely from the tree.
In the end, the Cat climbed down from the tree unharmed and walked away with its one good trick still intact.
