- Once upon a time there were two rats who were very fond of sweet oil. The owner of the oil was missing it. So he placed a lid in which there was a tiny hole over the can of sweet oil. One night when the two rats came to the can of oil they wondered how they would get the sweet oil. Then one of the rats thought of a plan. He dipped his tail through the whole of the lid while the other rat licked the oil off his tail until he had enough. Then the other rat did the same until he had enough.
