                 The cat and the painkiller

                                                                                                                           - Mark Twain

Aunt Polly was worried when Tom became unhappy. She was infatuated with medicines. So she tried all new methods of producing health or mending it.

  She gave water treatment. One day Tom was closing the crack on the floor with painkiller. Peter the cat came there.  Looking at the spoon greedily the cat begged for a taste. Tom poured down the painkiller into the cat's mouth.

 At once Peter sprang in the air. It ran round and round. It banged against furniture and upset the flower pots. Then it sailed through the open window. Tom burst out laughing on seeing the deeds of the cat. 

Finally aunt Polly realised that,  what was cruelty to the cat should be the same to the boy too and stopped giving medicines to him.
