RE: Cat & Mouse

in #art8 years ago

I'm curious. So, why? I'm quite slow at the moment. Is the story in the illustration or is it just one of the multifarious scenes from your story?

Sort:  

Actually it is a Moroccan folktale and I wrote it in my style in Arabic.. it says that the mouse was a talented tailor and one day tha cat came with a piece of fine wool cloth, and asked the mouse to make a coat for him, because winter was coming soon. The mouse promised that the coat would be ready in a week. When he started sewing, he couldn't resist the fine wool and ate a bit.. day after day, he ate bit after bit until there was only a smakl piece of cloth.. The cat came to see his coat, "it is not finished yet,sir. Comr back later." Said the mouse. The cat cept coming back and forth everyday, but the mouse didn't make the coat yet. He realised he was in a bad situation, so finally sewed a small hand bag out of the rest if th wool cloth.. when the cat came to ask about his coat, the mouse showed him the small bag, "I made this beautiful bag for you, Mister." The cat was very furious and leapt over the mouse who ran away, and since that day the mouse is always hiding while the cat is searching him everywher for revenge.
I hope my translation is good

Yeah. The translation is great. Thank you so much for explaining. It's quite a version of how the cat and mouse don't go together.
