THE CAT AND THE CRADLE - Link - Long Story
What is the purpose of the story?
Summary - Retold by me
The cat and the cradle story is about a young baby who is a girl born in Netherlands in the olden times where only newborns who get fed with milk or any type of food are allowed to live even if it a little bit.
The young baby was born under the house of a bad grandmother who does not want any more girls in the house and only wants a boy who can grow up into strong warriors. The parents didn't want their baby girl to die so they hid her and fed her honey. One night the baby made a friend out of a cat and played with her day in and day out, the two grew up day by day and the parents calling them "little duo." One night a flood came and took the baby and the cat away in a cradle, her cat friend meowed into the night to call for help and luckily someone heard the noise and took the baby and the cat in.
The girl grew up to be a beautiful woman and had a family of her own. They both, the girl and the cat, died of old age and were buried together.
I guess the purpose of the story is that if you love something you work hard to keep it or to have it and that friends will be there for you.
