On a farm in Canada lives a blue female cat and a brown dog who are enemies.

The blue female cat is the queen of the farm.

A black cow, a red hen and a purple duck work on the farm for the blue female cat.

There is also a brown dog on the farm that says neither “please” nor “thank you”. So the female cat doesn’t share the corn with him.

The brown dog goes to the farm to eat some corn.

He first finds the black cow eating green grass and corn, and asks: – Cow, can I eat corn with you?.

Cow: –To eat corn you have to say “please” three times to the queen cat.

Dog: –But I don’t want to say “please”.

Then the dog sees the red hen who is listening to music and eating corn, and he asks the hen for some corn.

Hen: –To eat corn you have to say “please” three times to the queen cat.

Dog: –But I don’t want to say “please”.

The dog then sees the purple duck who works as a security guard, and asks for some corn as well.

Duck: –To eat corn you have to say “please” three times to the queen cat.

Dog: –But I don’t want to say “please”.

Finally, the dog decides to go see the queen cat and asks her for corn saying “please”.

Queen cat: –NO!

Dog: –Please, please, please!

The female cat is happy to hear good manners and decides to share her corn with the brown dog.

Moral: Good manners and respect are virtues that open hearts and create opportunities.
